He's had his good meetings and looks like he's pulled his finger out scoring double figures 4 out of the last 6 meetings and it's no coincidence we've started winning more meetings when we're carrying so many people Still weren't gonna come last tho was he!

Ben2a Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 Oh HELP, I just happened to be driving passed Foxhall stadium, few month back, never been to speedway, wondering how they score the fixtures, researched, got bitten by the speedway bug , attended the last home fixture. Now I'm hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst there is the slightest chance there is always hope for Ipswich,although it is very slim. Have to agree with you about Louis laughing though,if he wasn't laughing and made changes to his team instead a month or so ago he could have been laughing at those chasing Ipswich for a play off spot. Riss should have gone when he wasn't right he was on about a 6pt average,now he is below a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich are on a winning streak if I am right they can get 37 points only Belle Vue are safe on 38.I think the pressure is on Sheffield wolves and Leicester to get there.If lpswich get in the play offs I fancy them to win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield got to fit in 9 meetings? We're a week into August. Would be funny if it was a wet month and they didn't make the playoffs because they didn't fit their meetings in on time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the pressure is on Ipswich. Leicester and Wolves will get 5 points to share between them in the B fixtures and matches against Lynn and P'boro offer further opportunities for points. The most plausible route to qualification is Sheffield failing to complete their fixtures. As it stands they have 2 dates to arrange and not a single Monday or Thursday available to them until after the cut-off deadline (unless it is extended again).

I think it would take a Leicester (Bates) win at Sheffield (Bates) during the qualifying meetings to keep Ipswich out, it’s that close. Play off meetings can be so financially rewarding. No Emil return I’m afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this down as Ipswich either just squeezing into the playoffs or missing out by a point - it hinges really on Leicester and them winning at Peterborough and beating either Sheffield or Wolves at home! Given their performance at Wolves last night i still think they will just manage it - but whilst it is possible then the Witches need to go all out and try to qualify. I think Sheffield will win enough home matches to see them through - although I hadn't considered they wouldnt finish all the fixtures in time before the cut off.

Not sure about that if he's not in the GP's again I don't see why he wouldn't ride in England next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it means no return to ride at Belle Vue this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
