He was down for a while and you feared the worst when he withdrew. Hopefully he will be back and fully able to race in 09 days then We definitely need him back. Troy batchelor replaces him Monday.

Ellis injured last night due to Ipswich been a tight little narrow track or was it an unfortunate racing incident? Depends if you want to look at facts or just slag off riders you dislike and blame the track/club It’s a tight track but it’s definitely not narrow as it was significantly widened about 15 years ago.

Depends if you want to look at facts or just slag off riders you dislike and blame the track/club Depends I suppose if you were there! For the record he locked up on the 1st 2nd bend on lap 2 - maybe hit a rut I am not sure, or simply rider error. Rew did a similar fall there in heat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was being facetious to make a point, I fully understand people make comment without facts or evidence - Ipswich in my view is wider than Sheffield, but i could be wrong. However I have been going to Sheffield off and on since 1998 and I don't ever really recall shale piled up by the fence but maybe I haven't been concentrating - wether that made the accident worse or not I can't say! We should all just be glad Emil wasnt seriously injured! Edited August 16 by GeneralMelchett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s not I was just referring to the Ipswich fans jumping on the emil crash last week blaming the track shape/dirt on the outside before hearing the facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's narrow for bikes, you should try it in a car. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make much sense to me tbh. If the track was that bad wouldn't the away riders find it tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. A team that finishes top due to someone else’s huge misfortune who were clearly better than them, doesn’t mean you deserve to finish top. You’ve simply taken advantage of someone’s misfortune. That’s self explanatory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 22 hours ago, Mumsie said: Hard to deal with losing the top 2 riders in the league. But as has been said Ipswich have chosen to go with an outstanding top two and although injuries are unfortunate they are part and parcel of the sport, and being a bit suspect at the bottom end the Witches were caught out this time with the early injury to Ellis being the catalyst for a night to remember. Leicester are the current form team and it showed, I still think this title is anyone’s, any one of the top 4 can win it and it’s going to be the one who does better on the road methinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I think whichever club has our support, it is hard not to sympathise with Ipswich's situation in which the top end of their team has been virtually wiped out through injuries. Come what may, I think they will definitely reach the play-off's but going on from there is going to be difficult for them. Leicester it seems, are the team running into form at the moment and who must be the dark horses for the title. They looked a very sound combination at Perry Barr last Monday if perhaps on the suspect side at reserve, but it wouldn't surprise me if they do pull it off this season.

The same sympathy that Sheffield got last year when they lost Holder, Woffinden, and then Musielak ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
