Super Blue

It's all Dudleys fault ;-)

Thanks for clarifying . One would now say it's been 3 days since the event so why is there not an answer yet ? Another case of the authorities taking their time to make up rules and regulations to suit which side they got out of bed this morning perhaps ?

Surely if the rules state that no more changes to lineups can be made after said date unless rider is returning from injury this whole debate is irrelevant ? After all , Josh was just coming back into the team as he is entitled to do !

So with myself not being a rule boffin in any way shape or form does this mean it was fully in the rules to bring Josh back or not ?

Cracking result for the Tigers , would have been a bit closer had it not have been for the nasty crash Byron had ( hope he's ok and had has a speedy recovery ) Every team member did well and chipped in on the scoring ! It should now be in Mildenhalls hands now and if they give up a 28pt lead then they don't deserve the cup ! Well done today lads !

A good transvestite ??? I don't like him but that's a bit harsh !

Yup agree , Pedersen should definitely been excluded !

Get in there !!! Well done Chris and nice to see a new World champion !!!

I still don't understand why Pedersen laid his bike down in the semi when he had half a chance of winning the race , beats me why he did it ! Lucky to be in the rerun after giving Chris nowhere to go and falling off ! Took Lindback out as well , just dirty ! Shocking refereeing to allow him in the rerun .

ABP , ABP PLEASE ABP !!! That's , Anyone but Pedersen !!! His finger wagging when he is clearly at fault for a crash constantly winds everyone up and he doesn't like it when someone is hard on him ! COME ON CHRIS !!!

A good meeting with some decent racing ! More than happy with the 20pt lead although could have been more or less with the 2nd bend issues . As said by others this tie is far from over and if the Monarchs do overturn it they will have earned the place in the final the hard way ! On the crowd front , it was lower than I expected for a semi final ( Must be us southern softies don't like the cold at this time of year ! )

Would like to think a half decent lead could be achieved tonight but let's be honest the Witches have been a complete enigma this season ! So much promise but very little actually achieved . Could be a feisty affair after the recent meetings between the clubs so bring it on !

If these lineups are correct it should be an interesting meeting ! Hope Josh Bates has not come back to early as this is not the meeting to be a tester for him ! Maybe he's had some laps somewhere and feels good ? Looking forward to it already .

According to Witches website Craig Cook is riding on thursday , is he or isn't he ?

A good couple of meetings , fantastic value for money and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and evening ! Whoever Adam Ellis signs for they will do well to get him as I can see him doing what Cam did last year and end up going straight from reserve to possibly a no1 without a stop in the middle . On a slight downer as far as Mildenhall winning silverware is concerned , I believe the current reserve partnership could possibly end up costing them these trophies . Lets be honest the IOW team is not the strongest in the league and still Gareth and Ryan only managed 9pts between them in the 2 meetings combined . This really isn't enough to overcome the likes of Dudley over 2 legged competitions , I hope I'm wrong ! Don't suppose there's any chance of Adam Ellis guesting next Sunday ? Just a pipedream !

8 meetings in October. Double headers . Does sadly bode the question about the financial side of how things will work and how much more or less money can be obtained by doing this . Don't know too much about Workys stadium rental finances etc but I seriously hope these circumstances are not the final nail in the coffin !

Don't get me wrong , I love my speedway and fully intend to keep going as long as I can afford it . I was at Ipswich tonight and will be at Mildenhall on Sunday for their double header against the Isle of Wight ( 2 meetings for £12 , now that is real value for money ) ! But , calling it stupid to say it's only 15 mins is a ridiculous statement to make because that's exactly what it is ! And yes I would say that your first 2 examples of horseracing and greyhounds are only 10 and 7 minutes which is why I wouldn't attend those kind of events . I was asking for opinions , not to be called stupid !

A nice easy win in difficult conditions in the rain considering Taylor and Rohan both had off nights . Stefan looked seriously shaky in his first 2 rides but superb in his last 2 . This kid is talented but is a Scunny asset , lets hope we can get him on board in some way for next season !

I will be going to get my fix of speedway but the interest level is not quite what it was in this particular competition !

My personal opinion is it's an expensive sport to go and watch these days ! Realistically it works out about a pound a minute of racing and that puts it in the realms of being one of the most expensive sports around ! It's one of the reasons for falling attendances I'm sure and quite a heavily debated topic in various places on this forum . Opinions ???

I planned to give today's meet a miss anyway in preference to next week , even more so after I saw the weather forecast for today ! Would make a great deal of sense to make it a double header on the 30th with the play off meet 1st as originally planned . Why would anybody in their right mind make IOW come back a yet again when today has been cancelled and 2 meetings need to be completed against them asap ? Lets hope common sense reigns , although unlikely as this is speedway after all !

Jepsen Jensen , yes ! Beating the arse wipe ! What a star .

There is no denying Taylor came back too early as proved by the majority of his scores since returning with the upside being a nice low average for next season ! On the Lawson issue he's never particularly liked Foxhall and obviously had some bike issues last night as well . He's clearly a no1in Workingtons team for a reason and scores big at home . I still think a genuine no1 is the Way to go for the Witches with the best back up that's available within the points limit . I just hope we can secure the services of the right man for the job , whoever that may be ?

Wouldn't have had 13 if he'd been excluded for falling all by himself , bless him !

For existing ! If they go PL it will be their fault because they did ! It's also Dudleys fault its rained so much this , can't you see that ? Everything in the world is their fault ! Full stop .
