Baldyman Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I hope we make it, just for the comedy value. Or maybe we could fail in final, and decide to go up anyway. Or maybe the other team says we ain't going down we want to stay top league. Whatever happens it's probably going to be one huge balls up.

Or maybe the other team says we ain't going down we want to stay top league. Whatever happens it's probably going to be one huge balls up. The promotion/relegation play off is a total farce! Hypothetical example - using yours - Leicester play Ipswich Ippo win say don't want to go up. Leicester say they want to stay in Premier, and then two further teams - Berwick & Eastbourne say they would like to join Premier - can anyone honestly see BSPA not wanting to increase Premiership to 10 teams and have Leicester, Berwick & Eastbourne all joining the league?

Tsunami Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 what's with the sudden vendetta I don't think it is 'sudden'. This poster is negative toward practically everything, and I really don't understand why he bothers on here or going to the track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the whole thing is bonkers. What would be funnier is if the top team wanted to go down and the bottom team didn't want to go up. Would be exclusions and break downs everywhere. I'm sure if ipswich won they would go up anyway, our team now would hold its own pretty well I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 If it were Ipswich v Leicester and King and Newman ride for Ipswich... what aves to their guests take? Premier or championship ? At ipswich it's a championship match but at Leicester it's a premier.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 No Vendetta just not wasting my money on the club, been to several meetings this year and apart from a handful of races generally it's been poor entertainment, I want to feel entertained over winning but some people enjoy winning, some enjoy close racing. Re being generally negative towards everything, if that's the way you want to see it then fine, some people don't like constructive criticism, its not just ipswich its the sport as a complete whole. The way things are done perplex me, deep down I would imagine good intentions are meant but good intentions don't get results, speedway is very much a closed shop with the fans left on the outside. The sport is at its all time low, the powers that be are moving it in the wrong direction because they only think of themselves, sacrifice yourselves to save the sport for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiqueSteve Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Think its always good having Newcastle at Foxhall, normally good value...but sometimes life's what you make it guys, we'll have a good time even if you don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wasn't the last Newcastle match the worst of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezza Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I share others frustration as I too have been disillusioned with it all this year - despite tracking an excellent championship team. I suspect Chris Louis if he were to be honest is also disappointed with on-track entertainment I don't recall the Ipswich track ever been up there with the best of british but it has always proved to be fair track for most riders. Most GP riders (those with more ability) and who generally attack the bends would enjoy the new shape Foxhall but the track changes only appear to have made the track safer not any more raceable! In my opinion and this may sound daft but the only way to bring more racing lines and entertainment is to reduce the track length substantially and as such bring the bends in further. It would involve cost and more remedial work but I am 100% certain it would make a massive difference providing multiple racing lines on a Thursday evening. It feels a step backwards in many ways especially when you see such fast/exciting racing on the likes of Belle Vue etc BUT the sport in the this country bar one or two tracks is in desperate need of providing more entertainment to the public.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wasn't the last Newcastle match the worst of the season?Yes - and against the grain of all previous Newcastle visits. So it can only be better ☺ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Steve Exactly my point, you'll go, witches will win comfortably with little passing and you'll have a great night supporting your winning team, nothing wrong with that at all But for me it is not enough, I've given it a chance but due to on track entertainment or lack off plus the way the club alienate spectators then I'll spend my hard earned elsewhere I'd rather do a few gps than league speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wasn't the last Newcastle match the worst of the season? Was that (entirely) Newcastle's fault? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I think what is ideally needed is almost the exact opposite and totally impossible. IMO its the outside going out that would make more lines. The exits and straights being wider would give the outside blast more chance. How many times have we seen crashes at the end of the air fences panels/start of the straight as the line narrows? Dont think the stocks would be too happy with that though 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think the stocks would be too happy with that though You are a bit like us at Brough. We have long straights and tight bends and the outside restriction, us dogs and you stocks, will always determine what you can do. You can bring the bends in earlier to shorten the straights, but the bends still ride the same with the arc still being the same. If the bends are left wider, most the track on the outside is wasted and not usually used unless you are in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
