NSS is a lovely set up and a nice track which has been great for British Speedway. But it’s a typical soulless modern GP style track. More overtaking on the straights then in the bend and is entirely reliant on who has the best equipment and set up. 

How’s the sour grapes? Stop talking rubbish, so Emil has crap equipment then? And Dan Thompson has the best equipment in Ipswich team? 

The track may be easy to ride but takes a lot of skill and bollocks to be fast round it.

The normal facility wasn’t allowed, the 75% guest was allowed and Oxford stated that. 

That's not what Schroeck said on the mic, although after his ht14 nightmare, I'm not sure I can take anything he says as 100% factual

You can't. Rob P will confirm my interpretation.

The two situations were different.

No facility at Ipswich means a 75% guest (as Ipswich has tonight), but

No facility on Sunday in the NDL meant a 3.00 unattached rider (Spooner not having ridden this season for the Chargers)

I'm only talking about the Ipswich match, not Spooner being missing. He was on the mic at the Chargers meeting talking about the Tungate situation

Emil’s equipment literally blew up mate.

Like I said earlier Douglas lot better then King round the NSS and scored lot better then King would have.

obviously Doyle was missed  but 4 of the Ipswich riders were very poor

belle vue is the only large track left in the league so it doesn’t make sense to put together a side to win there

Yet better racing in last 2 heats than there was in 15 heats at Leicester last week. 

On these "grippy nights", where the racing always improves later in the meeting, why not let the riders do 6 practice laps or so each before the racing..? 

That would be 84 laps, the equivalent of around 5 races worth of match laps..

Moving the dirt out so, meaning the inside grip reduces, hopefully making the racing improve quicker..

Well done Dan Thompson and Ryan Douglas.

Shame to see Jenkins struggling again, Ipswich made a mistake last year remaining loyal to a couple of riders and it cost them the title so I don't know how long they're going to give Jenkins.

Ben Cook certainly looking like "one to watch" over the next few years..

His improvement "glide path" is similar to those who have gone onto the very top level...

I am sure Sheffield might have something to say about that!
