Crump99 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Okay perhaps classics was a bit over the top but both meetings were good to watch with good racing and they were very entertaining. I would much sooner watch that than a 60-30 drubbing every week but I suppose it's personal taste. I'd say that they were ok but no more than that. I don't want 60-30 but do want to see the majority of race winners by my team which usually results in a win. As you know though, I'm a complete entertainment package person, and relevant, efficient, appropriate communications are also important. 15 mins on track is only a small part of the couple of hours. Having said that, it was worth the effort. It didn't matter that there wasn't much on the meeting. Riders want to win races and earn irrespective, they don't care that it was a dead rubber.

New era Panthers Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Ollie Greenwood did well yesterday ,thought he got second in heat two ,did well in heat 14 to beat Emil . Number 7 change seems to be working . keep it up young man ! Well done the Witches ,bought a smile to my face ! I didn't think he was anything special considering the past experience he's had at the showground 3 third places should tell you that , he beat Grondal who was having a mare of an afternoon and he beat Stokes twice who was making his debut as a rookie NO;7 He done the job he was brought in for by scoring his 3 points and was mostly on the pace but that was about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Greenwood Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I didn't think he was anything special considering the past experience he's had at the showground 3 third places should tell you that , he beat Grondal who was having a mare of an afternoon and he beat Stokes twice who was making his debut as a rookie NO;7 He done the job he was brought in for by scoring his 3 points and was mostly on the pace but that was about it. If you look at the problems he's had over the past 12 months I think he is doing fine , sometimes lads can do no right in some peoples eyes , Emil was to be the new star when he came last year and yer man beat him. Young Stokes was on the pace he has experience at a big track and possibly 3-4 years ahead of Greenwood in age . As you said he did his job and he was on the pace ,thought he beat Paco in heat 2 . You New era may know more about the game than me but that's what I saw and to come back from the injuries he has had in his young career I think he is doing well .Credit were Credit is due , we should encourage not be negative towards our young riders imo.

scaramanga Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm with the commentator. That was a bloody good speedway meeting and well worth the diesel. So for those who decided there was nothing in it for the teams and stayed away - hard luck! You missed a treat. thats the thing with speedway you just cant predict which meetings are going to be the best quite often its the ones you dont expect that are the best entertainment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 We will all turn up Monday expecting a cracker and it may not be so good. Ipswich do have a few riders that ride the showground well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries mate , I support all our young riders and I also say it as I see it . Thing is if you spend a few minutes and look at riders who started well in there career but then lost it for what ever reason but after a while started to regain their form again there are sooo many , Simon and Tom for example went through difficult times but came back after a while .

New era Panthers Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I think we maybe just nick the return on Monday. Up the witches. After Sunday's cracking meeting I think the jury is out at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
