3 changes so very different. Worrall Schramm and R-R out. Vissing Morten and Greaves in. Worrall scored 4 R-R 5 and Schramm 1 last time.

would be very nice. Has there been a distinct advantage for 1&3 or 2&4 at OTA this year? Is winning the toss likely to have any impact?

I agree SB its definitely not all over. Hopefully it will be by about heat 8.

of course there is pressure on the Rebels.They have hit 60+ in 5 of the last 6 home meetings - if they dont again tonight then it has to be seen as a failure..

presumably one of the two the mickey mouse extra fixtures added at the winter conference.

Most people want to see Edinburgh beaten if only to give everyone some hope but I say let them have one more. Dont think I could stomach it from the usual suspects if Worky are the first to do it! (big cheesey smiley with a little wink)

Many may think it safe to assume Greaves will score 0 (who knows though from the little Ive seen of him he looks quick out front but can he get there in the first place?)meaning two scoring 5 and four getting 4 is whats needed. If just one is really on the pace and scores 11 then the others only need 3 each. Sounds easy but nothing can be taken for granted as Somerset are capable of doing whats needed. The Witches need to start well and not let the Rebels get a sniff of blood. Only 24 hours to wait before we all get the answers. Up the Witches!!

so imperious that he had to cheat to win - a bit of a contadiction in that somewhat!

Looks like Jo will have to make sure his average drops below Greenwood to be sure to keep his place then! Strange this Speedway lark sometimes eh?

the score will be nothing like that as no tacticals. Somerset are so good at home that you wouldnt be surprised if they win big but I hope for it to be a bit closer. Would be happy with 55-35 to be honest.

A proper kerb should be compulsory IMO.

Lawson Doolan Auty Lindgren Wolbert all at no1 and have had meetings like this and Morris Fisher Kennett not far off something similar occaisionally. Thats why they average 7-8.5 and not 9.5-10. At least with Worrall you see the potential that he could/should move into that next bracket. Support and back him is the way forward IMO and certainly not hound and sack him.

There isnt one. Tom Perry would have his own PL average anyway. Sorry dont know what it is.

Very happy with a point. Thanks to Baldy and updates for the details. Good for us to be on the pace at a throttle wide open circuit so hopefully bodes well for Somerset on Friday.

It was a joke!! Re fixture changes the Witches have this week blank and it seems no other team was willing/able to bring their visit forward for that so no doubt the same for the week before. The selected date was always the reserved slot for the cup round so the possible clash wouldve been known before the start of the season.

just so eveyone is fully informed can you please re post this at 2.55 under a new user name of oldace+1

for the facts about alcohol visit drinkaware.co.uk/jengabig smiley!!

I think Somerset should call it off after all we can only have a NL guest fir Adam - need to be fair to the fans!!

Well at least its not gonna snow

Good luck with that - probably 50/50 as to whether you will even get a reply let alone a satisfactory resolution.

And in contention right til the last heat where as in recent years we have been the team tailed off and making up the numbers. Its a start without which you cant look to get to the middle and then the end eg rostrums and then winning. At least now there is some kind of plan rather than just leaving the youngsters to sink or swim.

If the Witches could pull off a win it would represent a remarkable turn around since Good Friday. Realistically even with the Panthers having a couple of issues at present Id say most Witches fans would see a point as a huge success. Where theres the will there is always hope though and the Witches wont have a better time to feel confident than right now after thumping Somerset.

and of course why would Howarth be replaced having won 3 of 4 heats. Great effort from the boys - good to see us competitive in meetings like this again. So near and yet so far but lots of positives can be taken from this surely.

Ritchie is enjoying his speedway again and I think being made captain of the Witches has also had a positive impact on him. Long may it continue.

Polish updates showing 37 37 34 with the Czechs winning a run off??? They have Howarth winning heat 1 not third with Holub position reversed???
