or even an Ipswich trophy for winning the semi final using guests

I've said I would've like to have run with RR even if it meant we didn't win

One guest with an average under 7 for an injured 9+ rider taken from a team not in the playoffs is on the sliding scale integrity issues at the very low end

Two guests,  one a 10 point ringer in a fake 8 point wrapper that is 4 years old (considered irrelevant in EVERY regulation that INCLUDES it but suitable ONLY  due to the fact it is NOT mentioned in another) and the other having already been involved  in the play offs for another team

I will let everybody make up their own mind as to where in the scale that sits....

Looks like there may be a bit of light rain tomorrow night but I'll predict Ips 43 She 47. 

Not sure why others predict a 10 point plus Ipswich win - but then I don't have a great record :). Lambert and Harris should get 23 between them and Sheffield have the better reserves, should be good for 12 between them, which leaves holder, howarth & pickering to get 12 between them for a four point win.

Can see a Witches win by 10-12 leaving the aggregate finely balanced 

Bound to be a few surprises through the tie where one of the big boys runs a last or the lower end get a win (either side)

It's a final and the adrenaline will be pumping

I hope the Witches can edge it - after all can the sport afford to inscribe Sheffield Multi Change and League Select Guests Tigers on the trophy?

;):P

And loads on here say the sport cannot afford a sqaud system...:D

Make it grippy....

Doyle and Emil ride anything well so won't be bothered and King will also like it...

And the racing hopefully will be better for it...

The Aces were poor last Monday but both sets of riders were well strung out in virtually every race regardless of finishing order...

Good luck to Ipswich....  

100% make it grippy as you say King likes it Rew gets stuck into it, Riss is ok if he gates, Danyon maybe needs a word in his ear just to settle for 3rd places in some heats instead of pushing too hard and getting caught out

100% Harris will be a danger but 100% expect him to score no more than 7 from 4 rides which would be a good return

I think Witches 52-38 on the night

And they are up against Glasgow v Oxford in the championship playoffs on BSN. Wednesday would have been a far better choice for fans.

So Bomber rides where?

Crazy decesion... why Tuesday and not Wednesday? So much for Chris Louis saying this “It would be wonderful to see Ipswich Town fans come and give us a look – give us a cheer for this one final meeting. The atmosphere at Portman Road in recent seasons has been phenomenal, I know, I’ve experienced it – and it’s been getting better and better at Foxhall as well.”

Brilliant decision

Harris now cant ride so there isnt a guest as good as he might have done

For once the Ipswich promotion not worrying about others and putting the meeting Tuesday so Harris cant ride

What a FARCE.

Harris the witch guests and gets Ippo into the final.

Now Harris the tiger appears to attempt to knock Ippo out of the final

Brings the sport into disrepute in my opinion.

Ippo may well have been better to declare Doyle unfit after aggravating his injury and booking Harris as  a guest again, to block such ridiculous guest rider selection by Sheffield. The sheffield  promoters" should be ashamed of themself.

Still speedway is a sport run by amateurs.

 

Oh by the way the Ippo leg has been delayed until TUESDAY due to a bad weather forecast ;-) ;-) .  I think Harris might be unavailable (riding for Glasgow ? )
