spanner47 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Happy with a point. Didn't expect anything from our reserves, so pleased 1-5 did what was expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Well I'm pleased we got a point at Glasgow, 49-43 to the home team tonight and 48-42 to the Witches at Foxhall. All the makings of a potentially great playoff final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Not many heat winners and had to use tactical, but a point at Glasgow is good. On a negative note, is it worth looking for a replacement for sedgmen before his average drops alarmingly? Don't want him going back to Edinburgh on a low average for next season.

TheScotsman Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Good point for Ippo. The way they started it looked like they were in for a mega humping. Kept the last places down to a minimum though. Sedgy is going to plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Justin Wolbert was pretty poor on a track he's ridden many times. Not a chance did he get second from Perry in ht14, it wasnt even close going over the line. Food for thought for Glasgow that after an extensive regrade at ht10 the visiting team came right back it having not won a heat or looked like they were capable of one and having spent their tactical up to that point. Ipswich then won three of the last five heats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANSE Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 How to gift Ipswich a point why was our reserves not changed in heats 8 and 11. Up to heat 10 our heat leaders were unbeaten then we had 20 laps of tyre packing[remember a certain match last year] we all know how that turned out and Mr King said thank you and wins his last 3 races and Ipswich win the last 5 races 17 -13. Hopefully a lesson will be learned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroad119 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Truly forgettable first 12 heats. Last 3 heats much better. Any new fans would have been unimpressed I fear. Just seems no way to pass rider in front leading to so many ftg races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with your assessment of heat 14 MD but totally agree with your comments about the heat 10 regrading and this obsession of packing the track down at this stage of the meeting. How many times have we seen it benefitting the opposition? Surely the powers that be can see this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Regarding your food for though,that's exactly what happened last season when Somerset WON. We said exactly the same thing at the time . Not the worst meeting , but not a classic . Just as well we got off to a flying start , cause Ipswich got better as the meeting went on . King looked good after a sluggish start , Heeps and Schlein backed him up well . Lawson and Worrall easily best for us , while Summers disappointed after a bright start . Easily biggest crowd of the season with all the freebies , was a bit crushed in the Charlie Monk stand . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 the witches have a strong 1-5, a bit like us so it could come down to the reserves. Think Tigers will get a win but the witches will get a point Well got it right for once. Also agree with the comments about the grading after heat 10. Don't mind the kids race probably more here than the rest of British speedway but lap after lap of grading doesn't help anyone apart from the opposition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Was so nice to be in a speedway stadium full to the brim with supporters last night . I took my eldest daughter , son in law and kids last night , and she hadn't been to speedway since I would take her to Shawfield as a teenager . I could tell she loved it again , so I hope this has rekindled her interest . I was like a sardine texting to the updates site as the Charlie Monk stand was packed , the stand filled up early , and the 4th bend covered terrace looked even busier than what it usually is when the Monarchs come calling . The owners are doing their best to try and promote the club and the sport , and last night's crowd must have been close to 2000 . Yes we know that was down to the new supporters scheme , but as a family night out for anybody new to the sport , it was a great success . 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
