ZODIAK

I've said this plenty of times but the way we built this years team we needed two 3 pointers at reserve. A NL 3 pointer was always going to be one, and I genuinely can't see a better 3 pointer anywhere else in the league than Paco. I'm confident he'll make a mockery of his starting average. I can see him around or very close to the 5 point mark and I'm happy to be vaulted on that.

Strange! I have an old link bookmarked too and it takes me straight to the new website. Clicking on above link also takes me straight to new website. Any luck?

??

New website http://www.ipswichwitches.co

Then I'd expect heat advantages for the Witches every time..

Don't think I've ever wanted a rider to do so well as Paco Castagna! What a cracking lad! A chip off the ol block as his old man was a great fella also.

Eh? That makes no sense. Sackers are green but we didn't have green Kevlars did we?

So we line up for this meeting with 1 King 2 Sarjeant 3 Kerr 4 Risager 5 Covatti 6 Castagna 7 Ritchings A week away but the forecast so far looks good so let's hope it stays that way.

Seems Paco and Nico can't read either!! https://twitter.com/mike_bacon/status/707525619798646784

Yep https://twitter.com/mike_bacon/status/707521733813788676

Kevlars are superb. New club badge https://twitter.com/ipswichspeedway/status/707515327639392256

You're not missing much. It was updated yesterday with the condolences for the friends and family of Bryan Knights. The last update was a piece on "meet the riders" on February the 7th. I know it's still off season, but the Witches have had a get together and practice in Italy since then. Couldn't some feedback have been put on the website for that? A few pics and comments from Louis and the riders on how it went, fitness, equipment etc. It's poor and more effort needs to be made on that front IMO. http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2008 SHEFFIELD Tigers have put their press and practice session back by 24-hours. The club will now host members of the media and supporters on Thursday March 10 from 5pm. Club co-promoter Damien Bates said: This is a logical decision and I would like to thank our stadium landlords for their co-operation. Speaking to our track staff, they are confident the heavy rain forecast into tomorrow will clear in good time for the lads to be on track on Thursday. The forecast is much better then and at least an early decision like this should minimise any inconvenience. We look forward to welcoming members of the media and, of course, our supporters to see the boys in action ahead of the new season". That makes sense as the forecast tomorrow is a washout. Wonder if we'll do the same?

He tweeted to Rory Schlein to get himself to Foxhall on his free Thursday nights, as there was something in place to get the fans involved far more and it was exciting. This was just after Christmas, and just like the new website and rebranded logo that was meant to be implemented mid Feb, we're still waiting to find out what that is. Also have I missed what the admission prices are for 2016? I can find season ticket details for 2016, but general admission prices are still last years..

I think it would be great to hear the likes of WITBF, Booker T time is tight and swingin Safari for a meeting. I know presenter made the point a while back that we need to move on and that's part of history or words to that effect, and I totally agree with that. We do need to move with the times and attract the youngsters to meetings. But would it hurt to have one meeting a season where some of us older supporters can reminisce about the "good ol days"? Maybe have a themed nostalgia night. Play some of those old favourites listed above, have some 70's and 80's memorabilia on show etc. They haven't got to change the music during the meeting because they're still using the cassette tapes from the 70's anyway

RIP Bryan Knights. Excellent broadcaster and lover of all things Ipswich including of course the Witches.

Not sure there'll be much practice going on on Wednesday as the forecast is awful.

Maybe that's what they've decided to wait for? Who knows. One assumes if we have a new logo it's certain to be on the new suits!

That was the press release. Mid February for the re-branding and new club website. Still works fine for me.

12 days until tapes up for the first action at Foxhall against the scorpions. A little early maybe for a meeting thread but it's been a long old winter. Fully expect a comfortable home victory but we'll see.

No mate.

That's a bit rude and unnecessary IMO.

Glasgow 8th as well. His opinion though I guess..

Yes didn't know about Proctor when I posted that.
