When you run 12 last places there is little chance that you will get anything out of a meeting. Poor effort from the Witches tonight. Solid workmanlike performance from the Rebels. Well deserving of their win. Allen and BWD look like 2 who by the end of the season could be proper gems to have IMO.

5 mins to parade and a dismal crowd level. About half the normal at a guess - 4-500.

time to dust off the quirky worky magic average converter??? wink

I dont see a comfortable night for the Witches but I do expect we will run out winners by about 10 in the end. Think Rohan will be 'pumped' to do well. A crafty twitch from the witch on 1or4 when he is looking across them could cause him.problems???

Have the rules changed again on that then? To drop down I thought it had to be the average at the START of the season under 6......

I thought there were set criteria and scales for loan fees. No negoiation needed about the fee itself as it is what it is. Dont see how any rider not currently on a 1-7 can be prevented from talking to/signing for any club they wish either regardless of their asset status.

Lambert gets one of only 2 heat wins and scores above his average in his prigrammed rides and there is still a call for his head!! Impressive Rebels performance.

Paco showed there is something there to work with. (7 paid 9 from his last 5 Foxhall rides) He got a great reception from the fans and obviously enjoyedit!! Lets hope we see more of it.

A sound assumption SCB Sarj was off 2 with Bates off 1.

a suitable and fitting acknowledgement/tribute IMO.

Sarj was top notch in his 4 programmed rides. Suckered into the tapes in 15 - much to the amusement of Garrity and Bates!!

If someone had predicted Danny and Lewi to score just 5 each and us still to win by 12 everyone wouldve thought they were loopy!! Sarj was superb and Paco lightening away a couple of times and looked quick enough once out in front. Good stuff boys!!

the likes are just window dressing - the fact that starman disagrees with it really is the gold seal that the OP was spot on! Perhaps thats the way forward - Starman attends the agm and all proposals are put to him. Any he likes are instantly dismissed whilst those he rejects are given further consideration.

no need to say your father in law is demented...... by adding 'in Norwich' that bit was a given!!

Maccas ramblings were an interesting read. I only hope I can have a few nights even half as good as that one at Smallmead before my days are done.

JLs book is a decent read Macca. Some very well written tributes at the back too! wink

Rules cant just be changed ad hoc. Agree with Shippys idea that for the B fixtures the old race formula could be used. Averages for 2017 perhaps could then be calculated using B fixtures only to weed out some of the inaccuracies.

Macca are you thinking of Billy Lelhman (not sure of spelling)?

With it being meaningless in terms of qualification that could be just what the Witches need. I expect us to win although only by a small margin. Howarth never looks comfortable at Foxhall but I said the same about Alex Davies before his 13 points!! He will be the key for the Tigers if they are to pull off a win IMO.

I remember drawing a snail poster (i was still a kid then!) to wave at Kai Niemi after his first few meetings. Turned it round into a solid signing in the end though. Could add Steve Widt and Craig Hyde to the list. Depends how harsh you want to take it.

unfortunately linking the words paco and poor is so very apt so far this season.

4.67 - about .75 too high.

edited for accuracy. Wink

Branford 3.4?
