Nah, keep up. Last week was when we accelerated the decline of British Speedway by preparing a grippy track. 

The league win would have come in a month or so had it not been for our pesky Grand Prix asset. 

I know the cheek of Cookie doing that shocking.

Tough and sh*t spring to mind .

Well done to the tigers

 

Now I'm no track man but that track looked dry and dusty before the meeting even started. Is there any reason for this? Again I'm no track man but i knew it would be a rubbish boring meeting as soon as I saw it. Again there must be a reason.  Did the team think it was the best way to beat Glasgow?

Not blaming the track people cos it's obviously how they were told to prep it

That's the trouble nowadays poor track prep,either by doctoring or not bothering their ar#e .Results over entertainment still expect fans to turn up.Ask Loius the  reason he will tell you the riders want it that way no doubt.

The usual sense of humour bypass from our friends in Scotland's 'patter capital'. 

Really you need to lighten up not our fault your team is Sh*te .

Obviously the dry sense of PAISLEY humour goes way above your head, but on a night like this Carlsberg would be hard pushed to do better.

Not much you can say about that other than beaten by a better team.

When you have a combined score of 15 from 2,3,4 and 5 then there's only going to be one result.

Do you think they could do that again on Saturday night :wink:

Didn't feel the meeting was as bad as suggested on here. The races between Harris/Garcia, Cook/Lawson and Campton/Starke were all really good. Three strong races at Ipswich is usually good going! Riss looks completely lost at the moment, lacking confidence. Lawson was good value for his points, some decent races with Cook. Garcia started strongly but appears he had bike problems later on according to his twitter post. Kemp did his job, got caught out in heat 12 on the first and second bends and that was that for his race. Campton was all over the place and struggled. Heeps just can't gate, can't see him being back next year. I still feel a team will take him but Ipswich is not the track for him. You can say the same for Covatti.

For Glasgow, Cook and Harris were really strong and if they both ride like that, they do have a chance of sneaking the title. Sarjeant was impressive, scored more points than I expected. Starke was also impressive, looked fast and provided entertainment. Vissing was average but scored enough for them. Nicol seemed to struggle, not sure if that was his first visit to Foxhall? Really pleased for Jack Thomas with his second in heat 14. You could see how much it meant too him. Hopefully it goes some way to making those long journeys to Glasgow week in week out feel worthwhile for him. I'm sure it's been a draining season for him but delighted to see him pull that off and deserved for his efforts this year in trying to further his career. Glasgow just might surprise a few in the play offs with a strong top two if they can both perform as they have. Much could depend on how fit Greaves is or the guests chosen if he doesn't return.

I had a feeling Ipswich were vulnerable after seeing Berwick were 4 points ahead last week when the meeting got abandoned , but still absolutely delighted with the outcome tonight . 

Hoping for a Glasgow v Workington semi final now , which would bring bumper attendances to both tracks over a weekend .

Glasgow coming good at the business end and signing Cookie has galvanised the rest of their team, especially Harris.

Starke has also now come to the fore and is in effect a decent third heat leader.

If Worky & Glasgow are kept apart in the Play-Off semis, I would expect an Northern Final, as both should be too hot for either Panthers or Hammers to handle over 2 legs.

The only caveat to my prediction would be if Panthers were to grab Kemp as their  guest reserve before the Tigers;)
