Stainlesssteelride Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) And don't forget to go to Foxhall first, make a day of it. I'm pretty positive there will be hundreds of ipswich fans at the Arena. Edited March 26, 2018 by Stainlesssteelride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocha Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just bringing the thread back to the first page, revised dates for the CS matches against Ipswich have been announced. Ipswich come to us next Friday, 13th (perish the thought!) with the return at Foxhall Heath, Saturday 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytripper Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just looking back over the results so far, I think Will Pottinger has been pretty astute in his reserve switches. It seems whenever the score line is tight and Alfie and Ben are together, Will switches Zak for Alfie to strengthen that pairing then switches Alfie and Zak when Zak is out with Richard which theoretically weakens it but Richard invarably wins it to keep a 3-3, b and Alfie gets his minimum 3 rides. Considering the way a lot of other clubs fans moan about the ineptitude of their T.Ms I think Will has been on the ball so far. Certainly doing a better job than Neil Vatcher.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hope Alfie is OK after a very nasty spill at Mildenhall today. Have seen him ride a number of times against the Witches in the last 12 months and he has impressed me with the way he atracks his races. I think he has something about him that many others dont and was glad to see him get his chance. Thought the Newman hoodoo had struck again too but thankfully I understand he should be all OK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree - very pleased with our new manager so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Will is doing a good job thus far, hopefully he is able to keep the riders motivated because that's part and parcel of the job too, but in some cases the riders might also need to be calmed down when its not going right, a team manager should always be more than choosing the riding order and making subs. As for the former manager that's been mentioned, a wet towel could have done a better job than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I also agree that Will is doing a good job. His use of reserve switches has been very on the ball. As for Neil Vatcher, whilst he may indeed not have been an inspiring team manager, he does seem to have done an excellent job with the youth speedway set up. There has been a steady stream of kids with high potential coming through the system in the last two or three years. Perhaps he's found his calling? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree he has produced probably the best crop of new riders we have seen for years. If only this had been set up years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 It’s been a good start for us and it’s so refreshing to have a young side full of riders on the up rather than riders at the end of there careers. I have also been impressed with the new manager. Things are looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Crowds are on the up as well, which is the most important thing. Having a young team helps to keep the fans interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
