Well I'm blaming Buster for my burnt fish fingers to tea, I would have appreciated an early pull out

Do you normally go for an early pull out Baldy? :o

Harris on a GTR tonight which worked well, on a track that all the riders liked. Hopefully it will be similar next week. 

Tough on Nuts that his max was denied by a snapped chain in heat 15 whilst leading. 

Possible heat of the year in heat 9 between Allen, Heeps, Summers and Nicholls

Lets hope heat 9 gets uploaded rather than the strung out ftg they often go for.....

It was Barker Tungate and Garrity. Don't know why/ if Barker pulled out. Then it was a Tungate no show, and last few hours Garrity can't get there. Not sure it's Busters fault why those 3 pulled out late.

Keep blue sky Buster thinking. He's saving £€$ putting out uncompetitive teams.

I'm not lol. How can Buster be responsible for 3 late pull outs?? knowing Buster, he will want answers. Remember Holder and Batch ??..

Did Buster tell Barker he has changed his mind?, or did Barker pull out.?. How did Buster idiot up whatever Tungate did?. How did Buster sabotage Garrity's van ?

Who else could of Buster get at short notice when 6 teams out of seven where riding ???

Well?

Why would Barker be booked in the first place if he was then replaced by a ‘cheaper’ guest :D

Tungate misplaced his passport according to Phil. Andersen, Proctor and Wright injured. Guests hard to come by for everybody. Garrity has form for vans breaking down so lord knows. 

Plus why save money by putting out a crap team with one of your teams and then potentially lose gate money as a result at one of your other tracks. 

Other than that I reckon you’re on to something :t:

Thought the track was superb last night, hopefully moving forward the weather plays ball and they’ll be able to prepare the track exactly how they wish in the upcoming meetings, clearly enjoyed by the whole team last night!

There’s been an torrential rain on the day of or day before most home meetings in recent weeks which can’t of helped track preparation - it’s been different every week and often tricky and greasy on top.

i thought the lineup was certainly the best lineup for home meetings yesterday and what Hawkins should’ve gone with straight away when KP dropped to reserve, funny how he needed a few more meetings to realise Heeps and Danny would always want the same piece of track and we could do with pairing a better gater like Lawson with bomber in heat 1

So the track was how the riders liked it, the riders all seemed to do good.  Is that really the case or was it just looking at the panthers team, that they were way way way understrength, and Ipswich should have done better than they did and some of you have got a bit to excited about beating a bunch of nobody's? 

I guess we will find out more on Monday and next home meeting

I am failing to see an posts on the Ipswich website about the under strength Panthers team.  Hilariously the Panthers website was updated at 19:20 last night with that disgraceful line-up.  By that time most Punters have already paid to get in.

Speedway shoots itself in the leg again (the foot went a long time ago) - the Panthers line-up for this meeting fell far short of the standard/quality expected.

On the plus side, Panthers' five man team put up a decent show and there were some decent races - Heat 9 in particular.

My biggest gripe with Ipswich is the standard of track illumination which is capable of significant improvement in most areas.

We've said this for years but when your landlord has them set up for the Stock cars there aint a lot you can do.

The one good thing about them is that the illumination is consistent which is better than many places where its like a zebra crossing effect

When one person has a vested interest in 3 teams in the same league, inevitably questions will be asked when a situation like this occurs. Ipswich simply had to win this meeting to stand any chance of making the playoffs. Incredible luck  for Ipswich last night, almost unbelievable, this has Busters stench all over it.

I don't agree - the third and fourth bends always seem much darker and, on the back straight approaching bend three, there is a bit of track quite well lit.

i'm not overly excited about the result and appreciate the panthers team was weakened however when you break down how the meeting unfolded i think it still would've been a comfy win for the witches,

- ostergaard scored 9 can't see proctor would've scored any more than that - unlikely he'd have won 3 races, credit where credits due to ostergaard last night his three race win times were 56.7,56.9 & 57.2 so he was unexpectedly quick early on in the meeting. 

- becker scored 8 paid 10 probably a similar score to that expected of wright, becker rides really nicely at foxhall, was very good in most races

- r/r provided 6 for hans possibly a little lean

- garrity would've scored more than morleys 0,

- tungate obviously would've scored 8/9 probably

but if there had been a full team scott wouldn't have had 7 rides, becker and summers wouldn't have had 6 each and ostergaard 5, so several of the points scored from their extra rides would've been distributed elsewhere to tungate and garrity - still think with the way the witches rode on a well prepared track last night they'd have scored 50 against a full panthers side. 

they will have to sharpen up from the gate in the meetings to come, but it was a much improved performance by all last night

Heeps really needs to improve on his starting, i think perhaps he's just putting too much pressure on himself at the tapes now he's in the main body of the team, his gating has been the best its been for much of this season, but now up at no.3 he's sitting there feeling like its his job to make the best start rather than it being a bonus if he does as a reserve in the races and he's  not as relaxed at the tapes.
