So what

Good luck to Newcastle you deserve to win the cup and fans your riders were a credit to you at foxhall last night.

Abbott - just read my reply to white knight.

No Im not - the Newcastle team were great and every rider pulled their weight and rode as though they wanted to win the final. They are a credit to you fans and make me feel jealous when watching our riders making no real effort at all to adapt to difficult conditions and just surrendering the cup

Well this inept apathetic performance was systematic of the Witches season and reads like a dunces school report - little if no effort and can do a great deal better. To think the few fans there had paid their money, got frozen cold, got rained sleeted and hailed on all for the riders to show precious little effort and my god it was a final!!! They all seemed as though they wished they were not there at all, I know I wished I was not. When thinking about next seasons side the commitment shown by this seasons riders should be taken into account and if it is, I can't see that any of these 7 riders are worth a place. There needs to be a huge shake up and with a different mind set because if there is not I can see this tiny crowd being called a large one in the very near future. These are some of the darkest days in the Witches long history and things need to change big time or ???

No 16 lapper thank god!

Long johns tonight then

2.15 and the sun is out again here in Suffolk a few miles from track

Whoops

Think you can add Heeps and Nielsen at reserve to those 4. Just had an after thought wonder if Sam Masters could be added to those 6, would his average fit?

Its 12.00 and the SUN is out (swoon faint) :party:

No sorry to correct you but they scored 21 out of a possible 30 whereas Cook scored a faultless 15 maximum! Its been like this ever since CL did not sign a genuine big hitter when dropping into the inferior premier league. You may well be right about the crowd but I very much doubt the crowd will be any bigger as they have lost interest in watching this mish mash of on the down or hasbeen riders every week and at £15.50 who can blame them???

Yes it was at the top end we lost the meeting how many times did Lanham and Risager beat Cook Somersets top end rider ???

Agree it was an encouraging performance last night that could be down to riding for next seasons places. Looking at the Newcastle side with Wethers at reserve who always rides well at foxhall and can beat any of our rather much the sameness riders, do you honestly think they are capable of getting a 14 point lead? Dak is the one rider capable of real excitement on the track and will have to get his act together as last nights poor showing will cost us dear if repeated.

Oh! well no humble pie for me then as my realist views were proved to be correct yet again Witches lack of a big hitter cost us any real chance of ever overturning that huge 14 point deficit as Craig Cook scored the easiest 15 point maximum imaginable. Actually the Witches did give it 100% effort but you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear and the result was never in doubt. Cannot help feeling the same will happen against Newcastle and CL has alot to think about next season if EVER the Witches are going to have any success. Gates are down everywhere by 20% but I fear Witches are down more than that and last nights gate being a final was pathetic. Sky are thinking of pulling the plug on showing elite league speedway if that happens CL can spend more time on getting a more competitive Witches team together with that genuine big-hitter at no1. But the compilation of the team is so important and needs alot of nous and the finger on the button at all times so we will see

Thank you yes still here with my realists views on everything. Holiday you wish what with £35 to find for 2 meetings in 3 days and diesel money

Ha ha ha you must be joking As for the meeting I think Somersets lead from the Ist leg will be unsurmountable and really Im sorry to say this is a pretty dead meeting. Prove me wrong Witches and I will eat humble pie

So much depends on what Witches team turn up, with all riders riding for their places next season you would hope the one where all 7 riders give a 100% will but will they??? Think a large lead is needed somewhere between 16 and 20 would make it an interesting 2nd leg.

It does not just come down to crowd levels how much profit is made by the promotion, there are many other cost saving measures like paying the inferior premier league riders point money which is very much lower than the elite leagues. The programme has risen in price and the £15.50 entrance fee would be little different if in the elite. I heard the point money in the national league was £15 which is disgusting and guess its not much better in the premier league.

Well Iceman when and IF ever the promotion shows what happened to that huge amount of money then I will stop mentioning it along with Kings money, clear now ??? At least I have numerous friends whereas you with your cold demeanour probably have none . Nasty lager??? Are you finding it hard to find something valued to say thats pathetic

APPROX!!! good fellow Iversen, Kasperzak to add thats 44% at least Nicholls transfer fee was £36,000 if you didn't know and surely King was worth more than £14,000 as he is only one of about 5 - 6 British riders worth signing as a heatleader

Money from selling Nicholls and King must add up to well over £50,000 !!! Promotion doesn't have the money ??? By the way approx 50% of the riders riding in the GP including the World Champion ride in the Superior Elite League

Ive never liked lining "uncle lens" pocket so I would not know but Mildenhalls fish'n'chips are just the greatest along with the stadium

Never said he was it was posted by another who thinks he - know it all

Whats wrong with that may I ask its always been the same with riders on loan and always will be??? Unless you are harping back to the days of the great late John Berry when we actually owned all the riders in our fantastic team
