Well done the Witches. Thompson the key man so far this season. Cant see anyone getting much against them this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls and Thompson straight swap? Nicholls seemed to let the cat out of the bag a bit at the end there about the lack of team spirit in the Sheffield camp compared to Ipswich.

They let tennis players compete in international competitions so why discriminate in speedway. Something is not right and riders like Emil add value to the competition and put bums on seats. What makes Tennis right and Speedway wrong ... Think himself lucky that he can earn money out of Russia Not saying what is right and wrong but people have mixed views on the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholls and Thompson straight swap? Nicholls has maintained he doesnt want full time premiership and Gilkes deserves more time in my opinion. Howarth and Edwards could be the ones to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great race out front and we watch Howarth’s handlebars It’s a huge bugbear of mine the production crew messing about with cameras and angles because they can - just cover the damn race! well done Witches Sheffield too too heavy tonight Holder would normally score more - but the others didn’t step up to cover for that! and yes sort out gate three!! It’s been dodgy for over 25 years now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bree34 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) Has everybody forgot about your grandfinal reserve Jye Etheridge he should of been in the team and he is getting good scores for Berwick and I think he deserves a go Edited May 13 by bree34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been dodgy for over 25 years now! So would the Ipswich top two in fairness. They’re far better than 8 a piece. As for the reserves, Rew and Jenkins are simply better riders than the Sheffield pairing tonight so it’s harsh to expect them to step up this evening. Howarth on the other hand was the big disappointment. Has to do much better. Edited May 13 by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 6 minutes ago, AceBelle said: Aces have beaten them on aggregate this season Not the actual Ipswich 1-7 you haven’t. Doyle rarely drops a point at Foxhall but Nicholls only scored 7 and they still beat you by 12. At the NSS Doyle again was missing and his replacement Wright scored 3 so it’s a bit misleading. You also lost at Birmingham (Ipswich won’t) and you failed to do what Ipswich have just done here last week at Sheffield. Ipswich are a stronger side than Belle Vue as the table shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Well done Ipswich best team on the night. Sheffield have too many passengers. You can’t fault Kyle for effort but it’s points that win meetings. I think the trouble is he’s captain and got his testimonial coming up and the management have been very loyal to him. Big decisions ahead if we have any intention of retaining the league title. It’s definitely not happening with the current 1-7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the added gate 3 impact! Think Doyle was suffering a bit of a hangover (not literally I don’t think!) tonight after the euphoria of the GP at the weekend. As he says it’s been a whirlwind few days. Difficult to then get yourself back up for a league fixture a couple of days later. No doubt he was trying as he always does! But it can be difficult and I half thought he might not be at his best tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
