Gavan Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Joe Thompson has only finished 3rd 4 times at home this season when the opposition rider has actually completed the race One of those was Gilks Worryingly the other 3 times he has finished in front of an opponent who finished 4 laps were all against his brother who we have now signed!! So basically the only rider who Joe had beat consistently at Foxhall was Dan…… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s harsh on Rew. He’s a better rider, with more track craft, than Hume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 All i can say it that both Kemp and Rowe must of really dirtied their bibs not t get a look in at the RS birth this season, either that or they just don't wanna ride for the Witches for whatever reason after the last time, Dan T is haps a slight upgrade on Joe T but he's still probably the weakest RS alongside Mulford.

I probably worded it wrong....I meant points scoring wise and experience over here...he will be a very good rider though in time but it's too long a tale especially with King inconsistent and Riss 50/50 on how the impact of his injury affects him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the plus side.... He can use his brothers race suit so no extra expense needed there.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siggysigalos Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 So let me get this right.........We bring in Dan Thompson, one of the only riders Joe Thompson has beat this season. You seriously couldn't write this s*** I'm confused on Erik, is he not allowed to ride for us on Thursday at Sheffield coz of the 28 day thing, and do supporters think Erik will come back into the 7, or we keeping Barker. Yes last night was a great evening's entertainment for a small crowd, and a much needed win, but i still standby my original statement in April, we need to change the skipper if we want to win or even make the Play Offs. And make Jason Doyle Captain, but b4 you all shout at me, i don't know whose available to come in......Apart from Tungate, who even after last night id take all day right now. Just my opinion........

Arch Stanton Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Apparently the 28 days for Barker is up on Friday, not Wednesday as most of us thought. So Barker (if fit) will ride on Thursday at Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kemp and Rowe don't want to ride that shows that Ipswich is not a good environment for rising stars Maybe the budget doesnt allow them to pay what the likes of Kemp and Rowe will feel they are worth? Both these lads are potentially significantly better than the vast majority of RS's so, (if it was me), I would be very challenging in my negotiations.. When you have paid Doyle and Emil their whack each meeting, you maybe need to balance up the bottom end a wee bit to compensate.. To be honest, really surprised the Aces havent snapped up Rowe, as he could be a significant difference maker in those very close play off meetings.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Belle Vue will swap out Mulford for Rowe / Bailey a day before the transfer cut-off date? Save money all season before the title gets decided!

Perhaps it was 'in the interests of speedway' But you're right of course, unless they've been looking to replace him for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he wasn’t the original choice as rising star. They’d already forked out for one for Thomas which was wasted and I suspect they half expected Joe wouldn’t be a permanent solution so can’t really blame them for not getting another set. I doubt Dan Thompson will get a suit either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
