King had an awful night it happens as Kvech and Rew also did but they seem blameless 

King Ellis and Rew were all signed again to be the back up to the big two with them expected to change places over the season .. there isn’t an out and out third heat leader for us…. Similar to Leicester they have a number one and then 4 similar riders that can all be heat leaders 

He's had an awful season though and that's the difference, Fair enough if it's one bad night every now and then but it's almost every week now and it's just costing the club silverware.

Even EUROSPORT pundits keep saying he needs to step up and put in a captains performance due to how poor he's been and they're oblivious to most things related to British Speedway.

Rew's been very good for Ipswich this season and he's stepped up big time for you after the injuries to Doyley and Emil much like Dan Thompson.

King's GSA Away from Foxhall is atrocious for someone who's supposed to be a leader (4.92 Excluding Bonus Points and 5.54 Including Bonus Points)

Just wondering ….. were you allowed to bet on these semis ? 

bet365 and William Hill offered odds.

The later don't normally offer anything other than outright markets.

Do speedway referees get marked on  their performances by  league official in attendance at these P.Off meetings?

Putting the result to one side, referee Turnbull had a really poor meeting , making some blatant errors. She is clearly not of a standard to referee these prestige meetings.  Maybe a more experienced referee ought to be selected for these high pressure meetings.

Ipswich cost themselves points with various falls etc. but the standout element of the night was the truly dreadful refereeing!

I think she needs to watch it back when she gets home and then realise it is time to hand in her licence because that refereeing performance was an absolute disgrace!!

Come on Christina - if that's the best you can do in such a crucial meeting then do the right thing and pack it in!

We should all be talking about the meeting not the refereeing!

Of course Bet 365 thought Leicester would win by 12 !!!!

I was only asking because in a serious sport there’d be worries about match fixing and brown envelopes

For a heat leader to fail to beat the opposition when in the easier number two position because the team manager is trying to protect him is pathetic.  To not replace him with Thompson in heat 11 is equally pathetic and possibly this cost us dearly. 
King also got passed three times by the opposition but he did manage to baulk kvech

he didn't qaulify he finished 5th in his  round at Abensberg !!

Once again you are showing ignorance of the subject- if you check out the GP Challenge thread you will see that he is third in line if riders pull out having finished in the GP top 6. Ahead of him are Jakobsen and Lidsey. Lambert, Holder and Bewley will finish top 6 and pull out.

I would suggest that everyone needs to use this email address, it won’t change the result but something needs to be done about the ref’s decisions tonight. If you can post your frustration here copy and paste it into an email and just press send. I am not a supporter of either of tonight’s teams and feel the meeting was decided in the worst possible way by an inept referee. They said on tv even the Leicester riders couldn’t believe Rew’s exclusion.
