Bash Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: No. Not like Pooles team. Poole got a 3-3 in heat 13 and a 5-1 in heat 15. Ipswich don’t have that firepower. Ipswich are decent. Better than many predicted at the start of the season and might sneak the last playoff place. No I have to agree with you there, we only lost by 2 at your place & easily won at Foxhall, so we are better than Poole's team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why they will fall short this season. Good meeting though. Enjoyed it. Inclined to agree it’s our weak point away from home, but if Harris reaches peak form come the playoffs as he did for Poole last season then who knows! Good meeting all the way through, mostly hard but fair racing bar the Fricke Harris incident. Pleased for Stevie that he’s getting back the form he showed before that bad leg break. Wells letting the aces down badly need to find someone who’s quicker around the nss. Pleased with a point, glad to see Jake back and come through the meeting unscathed and everyone pitched in. up the witches just keep proving those doubters wrong! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had bigger hitters up top we wouldn’t have the strength in reserve or the solid look from top to bottom. We’ve beaten teams comfortably this year with our top scorer not even hitting double figures. The team is built so that every rider from 1-7 score half decent points, which totals up to winning meetings, and being competitive in others. Belle Vue are a good side, especially at home obviously, but if this was a play off final I’d fancy our chances of finishing this off at Foxhall. But it won’t be the playoff final as I don’t believe either team are going to be finalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were missing Kurtz. Ipswich rode well tonight, and deserved a point. But from heat 12 the writing was on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 What a fantastic race track you guys at Belle Vue have. The place should be packed every week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Decent meeting. Fair play to Ipswich I thought they would go on and win that, but that heat 12 win from dan after running 3 lasts was critical. Wells needs to go. He is hampering the team now and just isn’t fast enough around the NSS. If we could find a decent replacement we will be in the play offs easily.

Seen him ride lots so far this year.. 34 years old but flying in Polands top division.. Four point average too I would think. (?).. A proper entertainer too... Would love the NSS.. I'd stand well back at Wolves though... Edited June 3, 2019 by mikebv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, sadly.. Would be great to watch around the NSS... So many on good money in Poland that dissuades them coming over.. Cannot blame them to be fair given the standing of the sport over there, the crowds, the atmosphere and the racetrack standards that are maintained.. Britain has none of the first three with maybe only the NSS meeting the racetrack standards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 For just such a good racetrack it’s a real shame BV can’t attract big crowds, especially with so many people in the area in a huge conurbation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think racing in Poland every week has toughened him up. I don’t think tonight was massively naughty, it’s just when you race someone like bomber, he ain’t going to get off the taps. Max did the same to Lawson in heat 13 but Richard backed out. That said even when in front you need to leave racing room and he didn’t do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not expect Shovlar to give credit to any team that rides anywhere other than Wimborne Road. Extremely slanted viewpoint. Ipswich are doing well, good luck to them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Well ipswixh well and truly proved me wrong. Well done them. Poor performance from ourselves. Need to up our game. Glad Harris and max are ok after that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
