All the best to Adam. Not a good day for Witches connections what with Tomas in theGP and Tay as well who I am told has broken his femur.

The injuries aside that was a really good GP. I hope its not the last we see of Tomas. Fingers crossed its not as serious as it seems it may be.

Somerset are certainly hot favourites. They will have to have a real nightmare off night to lose it.

Just seen on updates Adam has withdrawn from NLRC - off to hospital with a wrist injury. Chollocks!!

Yes both heats. Not all bad as he suckered Nicki into the tapes! lol

This match will define the play off group. A Monarchs point or better and Worky are probably already out of it. A Worky win by 7 or more and the group is wide open.

but at double his average to make uo for it!

Second block of the new part so just at the exit of turn 2. You didnt see/hear the loud hailer then? Atmosphere always feels subdued even when people do get a bit excited. The downside of such a vast open bowl stadium. I was shouting and cheering anyway!

Forgot to mention the small band of Diamonds fans that were just behind me at the top of the stand - complete with loud hailer!! Hope you enjoyed the night despite the result ( certainly seemed to be having fun) as it did add to the atmospere.

Win or lose I hope that thr T/R doesnt come in to it But like it or not its part of the game and could play its part. Scores of 10,8,6,6,4,4,2 needed looks easy in print but will be anything but! A solid start is vital.

Very happy with 12 points. A superb result and as good as anyone would have hoped for. Considering the conditions it turned into a surprisingly good meeting. Both sides deserve a lot of credit for their efforts. Very impressed with Rosen who was quick and rode some intelligent lines. Great response from Morten after his nightmare at Somerset - more of the same please!! Race of the night between Ben and Worrall had the crowd on their feet and rightly so. Lastly spare a thought for all those that have got the job of washing down the equipment and kit!

15 min delay fir extra track work. Gonna be slick and slimy! Tractor victory lap on the stock car track now!

Thanks for joining us on this thread Dan. Sorry you dont like how its set up! Most Witches fans are a bit jittery about the end of season chances. All a bit worried that a couple may fade away when it matters. I think so long as they listen to the experience available to them (Chris/Leigh) they can pace themselves and show what they are made of. Weather overcast and damp. Showers have been very light and are supposed to clear by 4 leaving a dry night. Lets hope the forecasters are right.

After seeing tonights demolition of the Monarchs and even allowing for the returning Doyle and Morris it shows the Witches effort was a decent one. Hopefully you feel a bit better about our result BM?

I agree with the comments about Rosen being the key. If he takes to Foxhall as he has most tracks so far it will be tough for the Witches to build a lead. For the Witches I think Morten is the barometer both home and away. I cant see a win of more than 12 at very best for the Witches and hope for 8 but would take any lead! As long as the weather doesnt spoil it I think this could be one to remember for a long time.

The Witches lost by 30 in the KOcup at Worky and won in the league. They also lost by 20 in theLC at Somerset and last night only went down by 2 in the league. Leicester took a point at Rye - take that match off to truly even up the fixtures. What do all these comments have in common? They all mean nothing. The only fact is that Redcar are in the play offs.

I agree with both parts - the congrats and the fact the Monarchs wont be going there in the final!!

I think you need to see a doctor Arson. I beleive you may be suffering fron a rare but slowly spreading form of Lionitis! (wink)

There is no basis for an appeal but ok lets have one. .... thats sorted- Redcar in the play offs. Didnt take too long did it.

In about a fortnight ......just to pi$$ Leicester off!!

R/R marginally in our favour - perhas 2/3 point swing. Morris/Mellgren evens possibly a point in our favour. Rose at 7 is NL makeweight (no disrespect intended) in recent change so even. So a 4 point theoretical swing perhaps. All guesswork of course. Whatever its sets up the tension for a Final rematch perhaps? That said with the strength of the mini groups both sides could bomb out!! Bring it on and enjoy it as it unfolds I say! edit - sorry forgot to congratulate the Rebels on topping the table.

Cracking effort tonight to get so close. Well done boys.

So long as he found his way out of Leicester after Saturday night he should be there.

So Cooks team riding was actually more luck than judgement!!? Only joking!!

It probably is a bit harsh and there is no doubt he has bags of talent. However I think we see too many foreign riders picking and choosing meetings or only part seasons.
