Last heat decider. Flint choked at the death. Tightened up on the last lap.

How can a youngster ‘choke’. 
he has already more than done his job. 
His gating is superb, same as last at Peterborough. He isn’t expected to be this confident and good at this stage of his career.

I am very pleased with his performance, and he should too.

I agree. British youngsters at reserve are the way to go. Flint has been excellent but he stiffened up on the last lap under pressure.

Ipswich were there for the taking tonight, commiserations to Crumpie who tried but clearly wasn’t fit enough, although Allen let them down big time.

Wolves sealed the deal in the last race but a good team effort to get the 4 points which is exactly what they should have done tonight.

Decent meeting, although a little stop start.

A 6 team main league is a bit of a joke really , i understand about the riders but essentially they are all much of a muchness

And they make it even worse but carrying on with the 4 team play offs, only in speedway could a team finish in the bottom half of a table and still be league champions.

If play offs were going to be kept with 7 or less teams, it should have been top two straight to a final

Congrats to Wolves who capitalised on too many mistakes from the Witches tonight. Woeful display from the witches apart from Danny, Anders & Starke. Crump should never have ridden. Would someone remind me why we signed Cook, and again our riders ride totally the wrong lines and get passed for fun. Can someone  also explain to me why we picked 2&4 in heat 15, was that down to Ritchie or the riders. Looked a poor crowd tonight even the £1000 couldn't get them there. Season over as we ain't getting anywhere near the top four with this team.

It will take a fool or someone with a lot of money to burn to continue running Ipswich at the current level. Sadly the sport is in decline and the entertainment value does not exist. I stopped watching after heat seven and found Clarkson's farm programme on Netflix more entertaining. As to consider paying to watch live in a stadium with it lacking atmosphere etc., no way. I use to go week in week out up until 2018 but now rarely go. I would rather watch meetings with riders out to race for themselves than club meetings. The young lad on BBC East tonight who suffered a horrific crash up, I think at Glasgow and is making tentative steps back by riding grass track was more entertaining in the few minutes of the interview. Sad to say that the once mighty witches have lost the plot and may find it hard to get supporters continuing to grace the stands if they stay at the current level in the sport. Teams should ride to entertain the public but that no longer happens and tonight was a lack lustre performance and probably due to poor management judge.

I thought the racing was good tonight!

 

The wider Ipswich track has been very poor for outside overtaking but tonight there was plenty!

 

Ipswich woeful apart from King, Rowe and Starke.

 

Crump quickly realised he shouldn't have ridden.

 

Allen and Cook were out of form.

 

Kemp, again the reality/ results isn't/aren't nowhere near as good as the hype. If he doesn't learnt to start mixing it more and riding harder  he won't go further up the ladder.
