We didn’t get away with against Belle Vue, but just about got away with it against Sheffield due to Jack Holder having his usual Foxhall stinker. It’ll be close again Monday. Match preview says: "The Ipswich management have been assessing their options with rider replacement not a viable long-term option but are giving Riss as much time as possible to return."

Yeah I did see that RJ. But surely there has to be an option out there to get someone in as a 28 day replacement that would pay higher dividends than the three points R/R has been achieving? I get that they really like Riss and they’re giving him every opportunity, but as we can’t have a guest for him, a short term 28 day replacement helps us in the short term whilst also keeping Riss’ place for him when he’s fit and ready to return. Perhaps the options aren’t great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a couple in the late nineties/early noughties where Foxhole in the afternoon and Lynn on the evening. 1999 & 2000 certainly.

They do run less meetings and I'm sure Thursdays are not as successful attemance wise than weekends for the Poles, i think the way their fixtures work mean they rearrange meetings rapidly on the next available slot and that means a Thursday then so be it They don't rearrange dates for months down the line, they dont rearrange cup finals from the season before when teams are then riding in different leagues and have different riders also Not much the UK can do now but just roll with it knowing its minimal fixtures, the poles ideally will want to run their meetings on their normal race nights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hope so, but for it to be him I think it would have to be a contract til the end of the season. Really don’t think he’d be interested in setting up here just for a month.

szkocjasid Posted May 1, 2023 Report Share Posted May 1, 2023 I'll go for Ipswich 49-41 King's Lynn The stars top 6 "should" have the beating of the Witches bottom 3, so could be close till heats 13&15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
