King and Sarjeant were both very quick last night , usual jump start in one race by Sarjeant (marginal IMO lol ) apart from that quick away from the tapes . King got outgated twice by Wells but had so much speed was easily past him . Danny currently looking unbeatable round foxhall .

Booooooo no fun

Thought this season away from Foxhall would have been a big help to him but sorry to say he don't seem to be moving forward right now . Worked for Tungate but not for Heeps . Take Tungate back for next season as long as we can get a guest for him for our home matches

Maybe that shows what a fine job your doing on the updates in recent weeks when Sue has been unable to make it to Foxhall. Anyone heard from her lately after her little accident ?

Taken from the Witches Website The ‘Tru7.com’ Witches were in stunning form once again at Foxhall to obliterate the Workington Comets 69-23 on Thursday. It was a one sided affair from heat 1 to heat 15 as the Witches trounced the visitors who had no reply all evening. Danny King recorded his sixth straight maximum at Foxhall scoring 15. King and Sarjeant set the tone in heat one with a 5-1 from the gate before there was a faller in heat two as Matt Williamson came off whilst leading, causing Danyon Hume to crash whilst trying to avoid the Comets man. The re-run will live long in the memory for Hume who won his first heat in Witches kevlars. Adam Roynon made the gate before Joe Jacobs passed the visiting rider on the back straight and then Hume rounded the pair of them on the home straight to lead and take the victory for a Witches 5-1. Nico Covatti won heat three as Morten Risager held off Rasmus Jensen for second and another 5-1. Ben Barker took the chequered flag in heat four with Hume third for another heat advantage that gave the Witches a 19-5 lead. Ricky Wells was sent out on a tactical ride for the Comets in heat five but he could not get the better of Covatti who won with Risager in third to cancel out the tactical ride for a 4-4. It was back to the 5-1’s in heat six as King and Sarjeant eased to another maximum. They just kept on coming all night as Jacobs and Barker became the latest pairing to hit a 5-1 in heat seven with Barker protecting his partner all the way round just to make sure of the points. Sarjeant was a winner in heat eight but it was Hume who caught the eye as he chased Mason Campton in second and passed the Comets man on the third lap to join Jacobs at the front and put the Witches 38-12 up. Covatti and Risager coasted to another 5-1 in heat nine before King and Sarjeant followed suit in heat 10. It could have been another in heat 11 as Barker and Jacobs made the gate but the latter lifted coming out of the second turn allowing Wells into second and the home side had to settle for a 4-2. Covatti completed his maximum in heat 12 with another win as Hume was amongst the action again, passing Roynon for third on the second lap leaving the score rather one-sided at 56-18 to the Witches. Wells made the gate in heat 13 but King passed the American on the second lap and on the final lap Barker also passed the Comets captain who fell to compound the away side’s misery. The 5-1 meant Barker completed his own paid maximum on the night. The away side finally produced a heat winner and it was a great ride by Jensen who prevented another 5-1 to the home side after he passed Jacobs for second on the second lap before then hitting the front after passing Risager on the third lap for a 3-3. Wells made the gate in heat 15 but King was having none of it and passed him going down the back straight making room for Sarjeant to come through into second for another 5-1 to round the night off and leave the final score 69-23 to the Witches with King completing a five-ride maximum and Sarjeant completing a five-ride paid maximum. Team Manager Ritchie Hawkins was once again delighted with the performance and says confidence is high in the team. “Workington struggled but we rode really well,” said Hawkins. “The string of home meetings has really helped us. It’s a great shame we didn’t have that at the start of the year. Confidence is high especially at Ipswich and it was another dominant performance.” Hawkins had praise for a number of his riders who managed to break their own individual records in the meeting. “It was a night of firsts really; that was the first maximum Nico has ever had in British Speedway and I think it was Sarj’s (James Sarjeant) first paid 15 point maximum and obviously Danyon got his first heat win. I’m really pleased with everyone and it’s not very often you go through a whole meeting where you don’t run a last.” Hume continues to impress the Foxhall management and the boss says he is improving every week. “It was a massive improvement from last week for Danyon and he gets better every week and made a couple of good passes which were the highlight of the night really.” The Witches hold the final play-off spot at present but Hawkins says the picture will be clearer after next Thursday at Redcar. “We’ve got to win at Redcar and then we’ve got a little break in our fixtures so we will know more after that. Our points difference has been helped over the past few weeks at home but our focus is now on Redcar.”

Fair shout that thought Ramus Jensen tried very hard last night for his points , was always up the pace and will probably feel rather fed up with his low points return for all the effort he put in . Workington really were bad last night poorest visiting team seen for a long while .

This week didn't look to bad to be honest no one seemed to be bouncing around on ruts or uneven parts of the track . Last week was pretty rough thou think the amount of faller's last week was testament to that . This week couldn't have been that bad Roynon who always seems to have a tumble at Foxhall got round ok . He's only moaning because he was crap last night , and didn't get his usual jump start oh the ref never saw a thing ! Agree with Jensen thou it does look very dark at times due to the lights being directed down mostly on to the stock car track . Maybe Tungate looking for any excuse as he can't ride Foxhall

Well that we prob be the only bit of silverware we will see this seasons so may help

So Tai has made his choice and will sit out 2017 and may come back for 2018 , that's his choice and he has said things in the back ground are the cause without telling the fans what those cause's are which has left a very sour taste for alot of us . I personally like Tai as a rider but his PR skills are not for everyone's liking . So question - Has Tai's coming back to ride for Wolves till the end of the season all been cleared and given the thumbs up ? maybe this is the reason why he can't say what the reason is . Maybe he was told keep it to himself keep quiet and you can ride open your mouth and well who knows .

Your only saying what alot of us already know Baldy its a very slim outside chance we will make the play offs but as a promoter CL has got to be seeing as trying to sell and make his product as attractive as he can to get the money in the bank . Right back to the racing this is a meeting i think the Witches should be able to send the Comets back home empty handed i'm going for a 51-39 with the scoring close till the last few races . Wells rides our track well and has done well as a guest for us in the past but can't see him troubling the King of Foxhall the week another max for Danny ?

The 'Tru7.com' Witches play host to the Workington Comets at Foxhall on Thursday as the race for the play-offs hots up (7.30pm). It's been a busy start to the month for the Witches; after a draw at Sheffield Ritchie Hawkins' side hammered Scunthorpe at Foxhall last week before heading on a northern tour last weekend. A battling point was earned at Workington on the Saturday before a disappointing defeat at Glasgow on the Sunday. The Witches currently occupy the last play-off spot but with teams like Workington and Newcastle below and with meetings in hand Director of Speedway Chris Louis has said the team need a perfect end to the season to stand a chance of making it. The Comets are one of those teams chasing the Witches but they will be without Kenneth Hansen for Thursday's clash due to his Swedish play-off commitments. Rider Replacement will be used in his absence. The Comets recorded a two point win over the Witches in Cumbria last weekend but the Witches must ensure the Comets go home with nothing to keep their play-off hopes alive. Louis says the team go into the meeting with confidence high after a string of good home performances. "I think the run of four home meetings was what we could have done with at the start of the season to be honest, we had a very sporadic fixture list at the start of the season," said Louis. "Looking back that didn't do us any favours but it wasn't designed to be that way. With the team we had that was the best we could do. "The run of home meetings has given them a lot of confidence though and I don't see Workington being any different. We were a match for them at their own track so I'd be disappointed if we weren't at home! In this league you can't take anything for granted, we've seen so many odd results that you just can't believe so we will have to be at our best. " Louis believes that the Comets are only weakened slightly by the absence of Hansen. "They are without Kenneth Hansen which I think makes them weaker because in the last few weeks he has been in a rich vein of form. His Foxhall form might not have been as good but they've got Claus (Vissing) who is an ex-Witch that can take a ride but I think that will hit them a little bit but not too much." Despite confidence being high at Foxhall Louis knows that anything can happen in the Premier League and the Suffolk side need to be at their best. "You can't bank on anything, no one would have thought Scunthorpe would go to Peterborough and win. We can't assume that we'll win because Workington's away form hasn't been very good because at some point they will win one because everyone has. We have to make sure that it doesn't happen on our patch because we can't afford to drop any points home or away which isn't impossible but it'll be tough."

Could make the racing very interesting !

Yes he certainly is . Maybe as people having been saying getting rid of the Jawa engine has helped . If we somehow squeeze into the play offs I don't think anyone will want to ride against his right now .

Or even had this team to start the season with averages allowing of course

Another one tomorrow. I think we could get even more tomorrow.

Yes indeed there seems to be a few more with each passing week its great , apologies to all the knitting zombies that may have moved on to other pastures i have nothing against them each to there own and i'm sure they still enjoy their night out in their own way . People now know what our little group is about and its great they want to come and join us , its a shame that as a club we don't have more rival clubs alot nearer to us as away matches could be rather fun. Please note away fans to whoever may be visiting Foxhall your more than welcome to come over and join us as well come join the fun just make sure you bring your instruments of noise with you !

Your welcome Lucifer Sam (Rob) its always nice when visiting supporters come and say hello to our madcap bunch BSF Massif Well back to the meeting and yes as others have said was a bit stop start stop start all night due to the falls and over eagerness at the taped by some . As Rob has said good news that there was no lasting damage to any of the faller's last night maybe just a bit of dented pride . Racing well it was ok alot of gate and go last night but at the end of it history with show the Witches picked up 3 points in their slim outside chance of the play offs . Hume for all his willingness needs maybe to calm things a bit . Yes we can all see he is keen to impress his new employers and its been a sharp rise in a short space of time for him but he needs to maybe just ease off a bit . There is enough older wiser heads in the pits these days for the Witches maybe some of them could take him to one side and give this clearly talented young rider a few words of advise . Have to say thou he did brilliantly in laying down his bike as quick as he did when Douglas went down in front of him . Good to see the riders out in the crowd for the Ben Fund Collection and well done to the crowd on the collected sum of £1658.84 . With each passing meeting its nice to see the riders coming round more after each race to show there thanks to the supporting crowd , and a nice moment from Ben Barker who stopped right in front of the BSF Massif last night to give us a salute thank you Ben your acknowledgement is very warmly received . Crowd levels are looking good ok summer hols are probably helping this but there is a feel good factor within the crowd with the whistles and various other noise instruments making appearances throughout the crowd , it seems our own way of showing support to the Witches from the BSF Massif is rubbing off on a few more supporters each week .Still plenty of seats around the BSF Massif corner to be filled by anyone who wants to , Mr Long seems to have taken a liken to our little group but maybe he only comes over to visit us on the back straight for the promise of more pick 'n' mix from 2ndbendBeerhuts sweet tub . Yes we are noisy and rather mad at times on the whole but we're having fun and i put this out to any fellow Witches supports out there bring your instruments make some noise let show this team we are behind them and carry on this feel good factor around the stadium .

We all sit in the back straight stand directly opposite the start line . As Badge has said you will probably hear us way before you see us .

Think the competition was across all formats of social media .

Yes Macca , i will be back tonight and bringing my two terrors with me to add to the musical noisefest as brought to you by the BSF Massif

So the overnight rain that someone had earlier said about has came and went , that will save you a bit on the water bill CL. Weather looking ok for the rest of the day maybe an odd shower still hanging around this morning but otherwise dry for the rest of the day and looking at around a pleasant 17c-20c later on for the meeting .

Ah good fun . Went there years ago with lads holiday . Two nights later we ran into the guy who was playing Blackbeard and couple other from the show . Mad night and most of the next day.

You Majorcia taps ? Pirate adventure ?

So who out of the Massif is going to be missing this week ? after missing the Plymouth meeting i'll be back in attendance armed with a few horns many thanks to Beerhut for getting them .

Its all it takes a little bit of marketing on something as HUGE as Facebook could go a very long way . The Power of social media these days is unreal . Just seen on the website that Ben Barker and one of his bikes will be at the turnstiles at 6.45pm to 7.10pm to sign autographs and have photos taken .
