Fightback is on!

Deja vu.....!!

Ipswich Star report from last night: http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/teams/ipswich-witches/tepid_witches_fluff_their_lines_on_their_biggest_night_of_the_season_1_3810861

You think what Edinburgh would be like with the Witches reserves!

Only 3 riders come out with any credit after tonight: Cameron Heeps Ritchie Hawkins Adam Ellis These were the Witches ONLY heat winners and goes to show how poor the team is against quality riders! Also doesn't help that the team have not ridden at Foxhal for 2 weeks! Wouldn't bother tbh!

I did! Witches were so poor i ended up watching the Poole heats on my mobile! That red light should have been a white flag! Couldn't agree more, good job the "bottom 3" of the Witches turned up! Ref didn't help mind, only once was a heat pulled back when a rider moved, no wonder Cook broke the TR, he's 1/2 second ahead before the tapes go up and stopwatch started! Then the ref excluded Worrall in 13 when it was Masters and Cook that had bumped into each other going down the back straight and unsettling each other going into the 3rd bend. Not the ref could see with the tractor and water bowser blocking his view! Anyone know who got Man of Match?

In the PL match (45-45) the Edinburgh reserves were Worrall 14 and Fox 0 from 10 rides. Sneddon usually goes well at Foxhall, but can't see him and Fox scoring 14 between them. The Witches reserves only scored 4 so should do better tonight. Witches need to take advantage of this and make no silly mistakes. Heat 13 last time had some great team riding by Tungate and Worrall to keep out Cook, same again? I've just got home and weather not too cold at the moment. Didn't see any Flyers at all advertising the match in Ipswich today! Preview here from todays paper: http://www.lovespeedway24.co.uk/teams/ipswich-witches/witches_up_for_the_cup_as_the_skipper_rallies_his_team_1_3809514 edit: just playing devils advocate here but on what grounds do Edinburgh get a facilty for Steve Worrall? and as one has been granted will he have to miss out for 28 days for with holding services? (Not that the Edinburgh promotion would have been denied a facilty )

Weather is fine here at the moment, quite warm too, but let that fool ya, Foxhall always has its own climate!

Maybe they should help at both tracks to make sure the meetings go ahead! Ps Poole could do with some help too!

Possible that the Monarchs will have to get a bigger trophy cabinet aswell!

And thats the problem, you care more than the people that should.........

Who cares who we get next year.........(let this year finish first). Can't see it will be EL PL and NL as this year so?? Anyhow it will be the ones that 1. Fit into the budget 2. Fit into the team average. 3. Want to ride for the Witches.

Ipswich website has for this Thursday Play off or koc final opponents tbc

Have you made the trip mate?

Seems a strange one that as soon as NZ is gone an Australian one appears. Especially when they could have shared the costs between them....hope Western Springs can be fitted back in in the future. Certainly would make a trip "down under" more appealing for European supporters.

Unless they have transport problems.....

Ritchie Hawkins has said today in the "ipswich Star" that any rider that feels they cannot win the meeting at Somerset should not turn up!

Is it just me but does anyone think the season has already ended with the recent lack of matches and the poor weather?

So what are the teams then? Edit (think these are right) from Craig Cook (Guest), Edward Kennett (Guest), Danny King (Guest), Przemyslaw Pawlicki, Davey Watt (Guest), Benji Compton, Kyle Newman King’s Lynn Stars 1. Kenneth Bjerre, 2. Robert Lambert, 3. Scott Nicholls (G), 4. Nicklas Porsing, 5. Rory Schlein, 6. Charles Wright (G), 7. Simon Lambert

Risager is fit to ride tonight

Meeting was probably one of the worst in recent weeks but Rebels being depleted and never doing well didn't help. As for season ticket holders not attending. Yes I know some and also know quite a few that don't buy them on not getting any real value/discount

Crowd certainly picked up towards start time. Season tickets only include league matches

It's always that bit of fence. He did hit air fence first though. But then bounced into wooden bit. Allen withdrawn from meeting with whiplash

Poor crowd tonight. Maybe all of Risager fans not here either!

With the large stands at Foxhall would it be possible to move the start line to the back straight? Eg like Vargarna in Sweden did. Just an idea. .....
