Totally agree -Ive really enjoyed this year until this last week! Gutted about the way matters have ended and I dont just mean not picking up a trophy.

Perhaps not if Lawson Howarth and Morris guest!?

the understatement to understate all previous understatements in the history of understatement!!! Do you think I overstated that?

He certainly seems to go for the spectacular!

Demolished two sections of the solid fence with the bike literally breaking in two by all accounts. Described by a number of Worky fans as 'a truly horrific' type of crash. Somehow seems to have escaped with only a concussion and a broken finger!

Every possibilty that the offer was rejected - simply not enough material for a worthwhile study!

Its nearly time! Last chance for the Witches to make a difference in 2013 after last nights defeat. Ben has been below par in the first leg and both play off matches and we need him to be be that real No1 today. Morten we need to be Morten - world beater one day novice the next - youve had your novice days this week time for the other! Cam,Leigh and Ritchie all pretty consistent - more off the same will be great. Best wishes to Rohan - get well soon rubberman! Lets hope the boys can bring home the right colour medal. The Witches deserve something from 2013 and I think they can get it. Just a shame that if they do it may well mean Newcastle who end up empty handed again abd that would be harsh on them too. Two top sides who have helped make 2013 a great and exciting year in the PL. Up the Witches!

So near and yet so far - we seem to have gone off the boil just at the wrong time. Tonights score was as good as I expected in the circumstances. Well done to Ritchie for a great performance to at least keep us in it until close to the bitter end. Well done Worky - well deserved table toppers at this point. I think most Witches fans will hope we can do you a favour - we dislike you a little bit less than the Monarchs! wink Last but not least fingers crossed for Rohan.

Surprised to see no thread started for this one. Wouldve thought a Worky fan may at least have wanted to stick it up us smug southerners. wink Perhaps all a bit unsure that they can still pull it off? Will the Witches win? I doubt it - even a consolation point is unlikely. Can the Witches win? Of course they can! Phoenix from the flames scenario needed but you never know! C'mon the Witches show some pride and give em a shock!

The club coach trip was scrapped due to lack of numbers!Maybe just a few hardy souls so be kind to them please. Updates only for me.

oh yes it would! Well as both teams put up a bit of a pantomime performance last night I thought Id join in!

Not at all - you must read carefully. I said good starts pulked back and some fliers let go. I didnt apportion either scenario to a particular side. Worky were better than the Witches last night and deserved their win. By karma I presume you mean Lawsons flier in 15! wink

thank you abbott. mustve been something in the air last night! At Foxhall though Tungate was excluded (2 fliers) and no substitute allowed. Warning was announced to the crowd but delivered to Lawson by marshall so Tungate unaware! some excelkent starts were pulled back whilst other blatent jumps were let go. Warnings were haphazard in both award of and delivery!

If we go down poorly at Worky then I will agree with you on this one. However lets see what happens there first. C'mon boys - what do you want to be winners or also rans - its in your hands!

It has been mentioned that there were 2 exclusions for delaying the start can somone outline the circumstances and if a replacement or 15 penalty were allowed. Thanks

Boxall has been above 4 in the PL previously so not elligible. I agree Morley seems in decent form. There is an Airfence fund meeting at Buxton as well as Mildy meeting so options may be limited!? All of his rides could be 'virtual' on the Louis inside track facility - Im sure Chris could get the arrows working so that Josh picks up some points!

Believe SB believe!!

There has been no mention of injury for Morten so should be ok. Adam is injured and presumed out - NL guest - no formal announcement as yet 12 points exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic Witches fans and gives us a real chance. Very even IMO. This may well go all the way to heat 15. 50-40 to the Diamonds with Leigh winning heat 15 to secure the Cup!

Neilsens PL average is over 4 so not elligible. Neilsens PL average is over 4 so not elligible.

higher scoring in that team maybe. So if a team had a No 6 averaging 5.50 and a No 7 at 5.49 do you think it is fair the No 7 has to be replaced by a N L guest? They could be riding a team with reserves at 3.90 and 3 50 who have their No 6 missing and can have a better choice of guest despite their rider averaging 2 points less.

Absolutely! This isnt an opinion I formed because of this situation. I have expressed it on other threads many weeks ago. but you would expect him to score more than a NL 6 pointer.

I dont see this as a good rule. Why should the rule be different for each reserve? It should be possible to have a PL guest up to the riders average. This rule means other riders with a similar or indeed lower average can be replaced by a higher level guest just because their reserve partner has a lower average. eg Ashley Morris at Worky was replaced by Schrammy at the weekend because Chris Mills has lower average.

Seems the mods have altered the thread title to remove any reference to the 2nd leg!! Its all yours Mr Todan - home fan can have the honour of the OP.

Advantage Monarchs in group B it is then!

I take it thats season over? Such a shame for Adam if it is. The experience of play off pressure in both leagues would be the ideal end to his first season.
