According to Pete Adams interview on btĀ sports Kyle will be out for a week or two.he dislocated his shoulder and it was out of the joint for 2 hours possibly affecting his ligaments so looks like guests again this week.Nothing on our website. !!!

The medics didn't put his shoulder back in because if the shoulder had been broken, they could have done life affecting damage with damaged/severed ligaments. I believe Kyle declined to put it back in himself.

Ipswich fan, Ipswich mascot, Ipswich second halfer, big talent. I somehow donā€™t think Chris Louis will let this particular fish slip the net.Ā

Having spoken to the lad at the Sheffield meeting a few weeks back, it would be a major surprise to Drew himself..

come on sheffield supporters for goodness sake you have heard the thoughts of our promoters and if you have then stop with the negativity of our two new signings.with kyle out for a while, we need the backing of all of you to turn the season around.one poor meeting for broc at newcastle and all the gloom and doom merchants start.i bet those that got on his back didn't lastĀ thursday at owlerton.i really think that given time and the right backing that he is going to be a very good rider.look at shawn moran when he first signed.even though the scores weren't there to start with, you could tell he was going to be something special and the rest is history.so come on, lets get behind broc and georgie.what happened with josh was just one of those things but it happened and thats that so lets get behind this hard working,wonderfull promotion and stop being so damned negative!! u.t.t

Or maybe heā€™s just a realist who supports his team and the efforts of the promotion - in what has been at times a difficult season -Ā without expecting the speedway utopia that some fans seemingly demand.

There aren't any utopia-seekers on here (they'd be in the wrong place if there were). I've only seen fans who dutifully turn up at the turnstiles week after week and pay their Ā£16 and feel (rightly) that their financial contribution to the team's continued success gives them a right to express a view on the rights and wrongs of team performance. The people on this forum may not all agree with each other - or the promoters - all of the time but they all have one thing in common: they're all die-hard fans of speedway.

Can't help but think this is a knee-jerk reaction, and one which will bite them in the bum tomorrow night. Frankly I'd never even heard of Broc Nicol and from what I've read I can't imagine for one minute that he'll be scoring points at this level any time soon, let alone be an adequate replacement for the Bates boy. Really sorry for Jack, especially as he was just starting to get his act together. Whilst I'm glad to see Georgie back, I have to ask the question as to why they think he can do a job for us now when they didn't think so at the start of the season.

The changes don't seem to follow any sensible policy.... unless the management have written off any hope of winning anything in 2018 and are experimenting for the future.Ā 

won't be scoring points at this level any time soon eh!5 and 6 paid 8 from his very first two meetings not good enough for you then.

To bring Nicol in they had to drop Smith and bring Wood into get within the points limit. I think Broc has done very well to say he as never seen any tracks in the UK. We should have sorted the situation with Bates out a lot quicker than we did, but it is what it is so let's get behind the team and support all the riders for the rest of the season. Utt.

After tonight's defeat at Scunny in the ko cup, we have 6 more meetings at Owlerton and the season will be over. Because i can't see them getting in the playoffs. That will be great. Me thinks it's time to jack it in.
