Reviresco Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I thought as soon as guy decided to sponsor ipswich it was with a view of taking over next season. I'm sure he wanted to buy the club before, but after looking into the books decided against it. Just been watching a few James shanes races, is he really good? Looks a terrible gater and very much a grass trackers style. Maybe Guy has spoken to Marcus Evans since then and has seen how you can use a sports club to offset tax in his other businesses? Shanes? Just my opinion of course which a few others share and I would say that he was the most exciting rider I watched last year. Guess you have included this race in your assessment? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAjAS3ivT_s Think his talent on a bike hasn't been fully tapped into yet and the kid certainly has a lot of bottle. The season isn't already lost but I bet it will be when and if changes are made. I think we may just get away with things this season cos there are some other really weak teams as well. What's more worrying to me is that we dropped down with hope that we would be putting together some good teams and we did but slowly they are getting worse. Ipswich was a massive club with big history and now we merely also rans in a lower division. Maybe I've been going to long.but the racing isn't exactly great anymore either if you take covatti out. Having started watching Polish speedway over the last couple of weeks, it's so much better, and the way the crowds are over there make our crowd seem like a visit to the morgue. That was a post from the heart. The decline of the speedway team's stature, mirrors that of the football club. I used to be proud to say that I was a supporter of both. When you lose that pride in your team, you often walk away... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Gotta give these number 7's a good chance. Ritchings is averaging 2.80, putting him 8th in the no 7 rankings, but it's too early to judge with so few meetings having been completed.

Yeah I've nearly had enough, but I remember how it used to be and how much I loved it, and keep hoping it will be like that again. I honestly can't remember the last time I left foxhall thinking wow what a great meeting. It's like foxhall has had the life sucked out of it. It's just totally dead and flat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 First time poster on here, been following the witches for 30+years but this is the first time in many a year that I'm not fussed if i attend foxhall regularly or not, aint felt this uninterested since the Chris Shears days!

2ndbendbeerhut Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Think we all just about had enough but like lemmings keep going back as that's what we do on a Thursday! However with only 2 meetings this month others will be lost as will have found something else to do that day. Years ago nobody would ask me to do anything on a Thursday as they knew I would not be free. Now though plans can be made as chances are there no meeting! Oh for the "good old days" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 That's true. Then we can get knocked out first round of play offs. Gonna struggle to make top 6. Might just scrape top 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Gotta give these number 7's a good chance. Ritchings is averaging 2.80, putting him 8th in the no 7 rankings, but it's too early to judge with so few meetings having been completed. In twelve heats over the Witches three PL matches, Darryl Ritchings averages 1.00 (excluding his one bonus point). 0,0,0,1+,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 Yeah I've nearly had enough, but I remember how it used to be and how much I loved it, and keep hoping it will be like that again. I honestly can't remember the last time I left foxhall thinking wow what a great meeting. It's like foxhall has had the life sucked out of it. It's just totally dead and flat. Chin up son, the ' baldyman clangers clappers' will be a catalyst to a better atmosphere, which will roll like a wave on to the track and inspire the riders to post a 20 point KOC first leg advantage on Thursday week. Plus we will have the first instalment of CL's promised Interactive Fans Activities to look forward to. (Looks from the forecast as if this Thursday night would have been perfect for watching speedway.......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
