Well done Ipswich......but,holder was spot on with his summing up of the track and the racing.

As Holder said himself, you've got to ride it hard. Seems his nads ain't big enough, same as when he was riding for the Stars..

[SUPERACE]

Congrats Ipswich.

Well done Ipswich and well done to BSN for their continued great coverage.

[TTT]

That's Ipswich's first title this season.

Chris Holder complaining about a track that isn't a Polish carpet rug lol, I've got no idea why Sheffield signed him knowing they had to visit Ipswich and Wolves in their crunch meetings, The guy is mentally beaten before the meetings even get started at those tracks, Sacking Kerr was beyond stupid.

Gotta side with Roger here, any rule which limits guests has to be seen as a positive. Feel more should be done to ensure clubs don't become strengthened when a rider is missing.

I don't understand why some act like a team being weakened by injuries is a travesty, it happens in any sport.

Besides I feels there's still a few RS options who are worth a try: Atkins, Smith, Joe T & Boughen shouldn't be out of their depth.

Yeah that’s fine, but then don’t allow a guest at 1 either then, run R/R. My argument is allowing one but not another and I still haven’t seen a valid reason why a guest can’t be used for your number 7 but perfectly ok further up.

Well done Ippo, it pains me to say it.. Nice to see Holder not happy

[Tigerblade]

Congratulations to the Witches, I do have Witchy friends so I'm pleased for them  For me the job was half done on Monday night - I tend to think Max Fricke's poor performance then, was balanced off by Emil and Jason not having great meetings, it was the points from Danny King and Erik Riss, and to a lesser extent, Keynan Rew, on Monday, that made the difference. Only Jason Edwards really covered himself in any kind of glory for the Tigers tonight.

Track is catching the home riders out, Hume unlucky too and Doyle struggled in last race too, won it easily enough though, never been Chris Holders best track

He has never liked Foxhall

Scored a 12 max on his last Foxhall visit in 2010. Still doesn’t mean he enjoyed it mind you.

Watched it on BSN. Well done Ipswich. And well done Adam Roynon for being the only speedway commentator on the face of Planet Earth who actually understands how speedway scoring works and that you don't need a maths degree to understand it.

Brilliant idea to let the fans onto the centre green for the presentation. Great for fans to get up close to the riders. First chance ever to have a look at the track close up too

Forgot to say earlier.

Eurosport could learn a thing or two about BSN's coverage, Sometimes they make mistakes with the graphics but the camerawork is so much better than Eurosport.

Got to love Paul Bowen that guy has got a great personality.

The Ipswich riders are also finding the track difficult. Holder said they need a motorway blade on it. The bumps have thrown riders all over the place on the first bend. Holder has a point.

Witches have this in the bag.

You always slag Foxhall off when it’s on tv, not a single Ipswich rider struggled with the track tonight, accept maybe joe Thompson but he’s much less experienced. But he attacked it every time he was out and did superb in heat 2.

ipswich is always a grippy track, it’s prepared that way every week, the home riders are used to it, it’s called home track advantage

Ride it hard then! Simples! Can’t understand why he’s come back to uk racing if he’s just gonna moan about the uk tracks

Good job Hawkins knew his stuff and kept hold of King,where probably 80% of the Ipswich fans wanted rid.He's won it for them.

Credit to King, he's really raised his game - at the start of the season it's what he said he could do, but only showed it in randomly.  However, for these two matches he's made a big difference.

Maybe the Ward thing hit Holder more than some thought. It was Poole against him tonight, i think he would of jacked. Same as he did at Lynn
