There may not be a monetary prize, but its sport and standing on a podium and lifting silverware is very much worth winning to all those involved. Life in general can get so sh!t at times for all of us, so moments like these which puts smiles on so many faces even for a short while, should be embraced.

We need to cover r/r and Brennan and Blodorn have been inconsistent at times this season, on more than one occasion we have stared off slowly at home only to get the job done in the final five heats, that will be difficult with Doyley and Emil, King, Riss, and Rew can give the backing to the top two to make this close. Cant see us winning at Ipswich again, Dan only scored four, Ipswich were a different team then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the reaction of Chris Louis and the riders at the end of this https://x.com/ipswichspeedway/status/1702642124003418184?s=46 So nice to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got 41 last visit a month back and Doyle only got 5 that night so it’s very doable to keep it close again, wright a big imo, in great form and when you lose the 4th average in the team r/r always hard because 3 of the 4 rides are taken by weaker riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair proportion of fhe fans maybe not so. (Unless our team wins of course then all of the nonsense is forgotten).... Well done to Ippo.. Always thought that Chris Louis was one of the more modern thinking promoters... A double is on the cards, and I get to see Emil at the NSS again... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the KO Cup lost a bit of its meaning amongst fans when it was treated as a fixture filler for a few seasons, often crammed in just before the end of the season... before being dropped all together. Hopefully it can regain some of the honour and meaning after this seasons competition Edited September 15, 2023 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody from "outside the UK speedway bubble" sees any value in sponsoring any comp.. When non speedway following sponsors can start seeing it as "non brand damaging" then this incredible sport (as Poland proves) will move forward in leaps and bounds.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy cookie returns? Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 The cup final on Thursday just goes to show what the sport could be like in this country. A large crowd, good racing atmosphere & at the end great interaction between rider & supporters. Louis is getting it right with the Ipswich brand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Just read the speedway star and Damian Bates claiming the Ipswich track had large jumps & bumps in it. Should be having a go at his riders for a lacklustre performance and not riding it how it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he has time to worry about such things given how much effort it must take to think of new ways to cheat every week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
