If it is a bad forecast postpone it . If it goes ahead and it rains dont let it go to heat 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Sheffield have a good chance. I very much doubt Tai or Tobi would have beaten Ipswich top two at Foxhall , Chris Holder was an embarrassment, probably get double figures tonight.King has been brilliant lately but may struggle tonight, it will depend on the lower order riders , Emil and Doyle wont go unbeaten tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideHard Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 With Tai and Toby I would be confident we could pull it back.. without them no. Think 50-40 final score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think this is already over. No way Ipswich should give up such a big lead with Doyle, Emil and King. But let’s hope for a last heat showdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP78 Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Ipswich's top 3 should comfortably get 30 between them you would hope... That leaves 7 points from the remaining 4 riders to bring it home... barring double falls/exclusions, they are guaranteed a point in heats 2, 8 and 14, which then leaves 4 to find... Please don't blow it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Based on the weather forecast, if it is on tonight, quite understandably the track may not be up to its best so will be interesting to hear what our play off saviour has to say about that!

Weather fine so far it is supposed to rain a bit this AM and again in the afternoon / evening - weather reports vary depending on which service you use however as for Bert Bert as my mate calls him I rather suspect his views will depend on the result!

I'm sure the jumped up little sh*t won't care who wins as long as he scores a load of points and don't get owned by Emil and Doyle again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) In the cup we lost by 6 at Sheffield with Emil and Doyle having 5 rides each only 2 wins and Doyle not winning a race and both not hitting double figures Granted Fricke scored 2 and Lambert will get 13 I feel Emil 12… Riss 4…. King 8…Rew 5… Doyle 10….Hume 2…Joe 0….. 41……fingers crossed Lambert 13…. Howarth 6…. Holder 8….Pickering 8….Harris 8….Etheridge…3….Edwards 3….. 49 Edited October 5, 2023 by Gavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 6 minutes ago, Dornier said: Will Ipswich be bringing their own referee ? No we will be fine A referee got one decision wrong in heat 4 when Hume locked up and Doyle hit him You won’t find one Ipswich fan who dowsnt think we got lucky in heat 4 we all totally believe Hume was fortunate and the ref made the wrong choice Whats hilarious is the Sheffield fans blaming the ref for making lots of bad decisions …. It was one and it cost Sheffield a point as the re run was a 4-2 and if Hume had have been excluded it would have been a 3-3 In the semi final Connor Bailey was not under power when a race was stopped yet was still awarded a point that ultimately almost cost Ipswich….. hasn’t been pages and pages about the ref from Ipswich fans Instead of blaming the ref perhaps Sheffield fans can look at the performances of certain riders as the issue ….. and the petulant brat at number one 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
