Your name is quite applicable to the shall we say our calamitous attempts of music but as Baldy says grab something to make some noise with and come join us .

Poor Danyon , heard about this last night from Macca who was at Smallbrook . Was hoping it wasn't as bad a first thought . Everything will seem better after a good nights sleep well not this time. As others have said been the No7 we have been looking for most of the season shame it looks like his season could be over . Get well soon Danyon What options do the Witches have left now ?

Billy Sanders Memorial meeting March 2015

Pork pies it is then .

Yes no Lambert shame but will be good to see Kerr back . I'll just be happy with any kind of win and 3 points !!

With the Witches doing what they need to at Redcar last Friday evening and gaining the big 4 points there season comes down to a home /away meetings against Newcastle . With the table so close right now there are any number of permutations of who will finish in the top 6 and make the play offs . Witches need to make sure they take the win and 3 points Thursday night , it don't matter if Newcastle claim a losing point . Don't normally predict the score but i'm going to take a shot at it this time and 50-40 win for the Witches . Below was taken off the Witches website The 'Tru7.com' Witches face the Newcastle Diamonds on Thursday at Foxhall in their final home Premier League meeting (7.30pm). There is huge importance on the meeting for the Witches, who must win to keep their play-off hopes alive when they visit the Diamonds on Sunday for the final meeting of the league season. A strong second half to the season has seen the Witches rise to sixth in the table (as things stand) with two to race and there are many permutations to how the season could end depending on the results of others but the Suffolk side can only look after themselves and get three points on Thursday. With play-off rivals in action before Thursday's meeting one win could well be enough to seal a play-off spot for the Suffolk side. Ritchie Hawkins' side are at full strength as Nico Covatti comes back into the team after missing the away win at Redcar last time out. The visitors sit in third position in the table with a play-off place confirmed but they will be keen to finish as high as possible and build momentum ahead of the end of season drama. The away side will be without Robert Lambert due to an international commitment and a familiar face will step in for the young Brit as Lewis Kerr guests for the Diamonds. Britain's number four Steve Worrall rides at five. The last time the two sides met at Foxhall the Diamonds took a 49-43 win in last season's Premier League. Team Manager Ritchie Hawkins believes a win on Thursday could be enough to seal a play-off spot. "The plan is to get the win on Thursday and carry on our good home form and then I would hope that will be enough to get us into the play-offs now," said Hawkins. "I think if we win on Thursday we will finish fifth and face Edinburgh in the play-offs, that would be my prediction but you never know what is going to happen." Hawkins says the win at Redcar was the best of the season but knows it will be in vein if they fail to beat the Diamonds. "We're in brilliant form and we've hit a good run where it could turn out that we've found our form at the perfect time with another win on Thursday. The performance at Redcar was our best of the season in every aspect and it's looking very good for us at the moment but we need to make sure we get the win on Thursday." The boss says Newcastle will be the toughest test the Witches have faced at Foxhall for some time but is not worried about the opposition. "It will be our biggest test in a long while but we can't spend too much time thinking about having a good run in the play-offs, we've got to get there first by winning on Thursday. It's another pressure meeting but with the form we are in, we are not worried about Newcastle coming in good form either. It's in our own hands now." The former skipper is hoping the Foxhall faithful continue to give the riders all their support during the meeting. "We've been winning and the atmosphere has been a lot better at Ipswich, the crowd should increase hopefully and everyone wants to come and see a winning team. Our last meeting at home is now a massive meeting and hopefully the crowd will keep on coming and supporting us." Our KIDS GO FREE promotion continues for this meeting as we battle for a place in the play-offs.

After all the so called name calling finger pointing rubbish think alot of people are missing the point , it was a rather good meeting to watch with some very good racing from both teams and a meeting that had pretty much all you could want . Oh and Holder was pure class last night

TBH I've had enough of this childish name calling finger pointing he said this he said that crap on here . How old are we for goodness sake . We're grown men ain't we it's like being back in a school playground sometimes reading on here. I don't care what had been said or posted on here this ends now end of story finished fat lady has sung curtain has dropped .

Watched the highlight and have to say it was painful to watch due to the ever changing camera potions . The way the filming kept switching all over the place was not good for viewing . Was looking forward to watching this , watched i think 5-6 races before i turned it off .

Just one team from the PL moving up ? Still think there could be another moving up if its a fixed race night next season eg Wed/Thurs as it could limit there choice of riders for the season .

Poor lad . Big blow to him and his teams this year

No no no . No Morrissey Fan on the Pussycats threads is like roast beef with no Yorkshire puddings.

Fantastic Witches

Nicely done Panther89

Oh dear here come the excuses just in case .

This was taken from the Speedway GB Site http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.31246 BRITISH Champion Danny King says victory in Sunday’s Premier League Riders’ Championship would cap off a memorable year on a personal level. The Ipswich skipper heads to Sheffield as one of the meeting favourites with his British Final exploits having been followed by a Wild Card at Cardiff and a silver medal when representing GB in the World Cup Final. King said: “To win the PLRC has been one of my goals for a long time now and if I could do that then that really would be the only way I could make this unbelievable year even more memorable! “Sheffield is a track the majority of riders enjoy racing on – it’s a track you can build up plenty of speed on and on its day it serves up some great racing. “Hopefully that will be the case on Sunday because it’s always a well supported event and I think it’s consistently one of the best meetings of the season.”

We've been on last chance saloon for the past 2 months , its only because the pussy cats and Sheffield keep throwing points away that we have this be it slim chance . Changes were made far too late really for the Witches but if we do somehow sneak into the play offs don't there are any teams out there they really want to come to Foxhall . We are looking like a good 1-7 now shame its took so bloody long this season to get to this point . IMO i think we will fall just short but hey you go to keep your fingers crossed aint you .

Glad to be of service , Met office says same chance of rain on both days . Most Witches fans would be in agreement with you on that we'll probably mess up tonight any way and make it easy for the pussy cats .

Is Garrity riding ??? Fell in his 1st heat last night at Foxhall then pulled out of the meeting after his 2nd ride , has he aggravated the injury again or did he do it as the tigers were already getting smashed apart and no point in taking a chance as meeting was already lost . If he does not take his place who will be the replacement ?

Met office says there is under a 5% chance of Precipitation today , surprised it aint all ready been called off !!

Hope the locals are out in force for this one in support , troubling week for the Devils but well done to all the staff and everyone else that has helped Plymouth speedway show some mindless idiots that some cowardly act of vandalism will not beat them !

Covatti missing didn't know that . Makes the Witches task a little harder as they go in search of the much needed 4 points .

Right 1st part done now to try and get the 4 points away win. Big ask for the Witches.

Lets get this one started but until the result of tonight meeting at home to Sheffield is known think it will be very quiet on this one.

Anyou news if Garrity is going to be fit first this ?
