4-2 here for the witches needed and then call it off

Trying to rain. .....

Well I'm now in a sparse looking car park. Seems quite dry and currently not raining. Can even see the sun trying to make an appearance! Can also hear the bikes warming up

I'm going to leave about 7pm then wait until 7.30pm before attempting to go in. Looks promising in town centre but not riding here are we?! If it starts they just need to get a move on and get done by 9pm, shouldn't be too hard (should it?)

Think there will be a lot of fans waiting in their cars until 7.30! http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/ipswich/ip4-2/weather-radar/330938 only has light rain until 9pm..... http://www.metcheck.com/UK/today.asp?zipcode=Ipswich&locationID=57308&lat=52.1&lon=1.2&findtype= has the heavy rain from 9pm also

raintoday is showing that it has passed by already so hopefully its right! Or it will start at 7.30pm

stopped in town centre and the sun is coming out!

i got some at home! But its 3 miles to Foxhall from here, worst of it seems have passed so......

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ says it should have been raining for last 30 mins or so and will continue for a while. However no sign of it about a mile away from Foxhall and after driving home its looks to be getting brighter! Possibly famous last words though.........

Lovely day here in Felixstowe at the moment. Just know it's going to rain around 7pm! Could we not ride this afternoon and then charge to show the meeting on Dvd later? 😝

That certainly looks the case!

As Bruv says, depends on Tungate. Then again lots of questions really, fitness of Heeps and Manzares being major ones.

Ipswich Star states that Heeps and Manzares are both hoping to ride, but Manzares has a fitness test tomorrow to see if he can. Rained a bit this afternoon, could do with some more to sort the track out. No Heeps and Risager can take r/r. No Manzares and its Heeps plus reserves. If both miss out its r/r and a guest. Last years Redcar scores: 1 Matej Kus 0 3 3 1 r 7 2 Hugh Skidmore 1 0 0 0 1 3 Ulrich Ostergaard 1* 2 1 0 2 6 4 Michael Dyer 2 0! 0 1* 3 5 Aaron Summers 1 1 0! r 2 6 Carl Wilkinson 3 0 3 2 2 2 12 7 Steven Worrall 0 f 0 Remember that the Witches dominated, with only Wilkinson riding really well. Lawson could score more than Kus but generally struggles at Foxhall. Ostergaard and Dyer been replaced by Konopka and Graversen. Should be a comfortable win for the Witches but who would have thought that Redcar would have won on Sunday at Newcastle?

Seems to be bikes, but he looked superb at Mortens testimonial meeting, slighty different style and quick out of the corners. So whats the difference now? Can't think his best bikes are elsewhere as he hasn't ridden in Poland since April.

Rohan has gone 19 races without a win away from home! Hope Gino and Cam are ok after their crashes. Still waiting for all 7 to click at once aren't we........

Ok Thanks for that. Just seems a freak incident then.....

Just seen the picture of the injured Fox, ouch! But got me thinking how such an injury could occur? And did the type of suit he was wearing have an influence?

Witches win.......

Track was a lot more "Ipswich like" which is good to see. Witches helped the Panthers by again Worrall and then Tungate touching the tapes in heats 1 and 13. Hawkins and then Heeps fell in points scoring positions. Panthers up against it with starting with 6 riders and then reduced to 5 then 4 then 3! Dryml took a heavy fall in heat 7, locked up and high-sided on 1st/2nd bend 1st lap. seemed to land on shoulder/head. (5 riders) Don't think Blackbird will be too popular in the Panthers camp tonight. Heat 5 he took Fisher off but the American was wrongly excluded.Heat 11 saw them both race each other for 2nd and 3rd, Blackbird only just letting Fisher (on b/w tac) through at the last minute. Heat 15 then saw a tough 1st bend, Heeps (Witches mom) ending up in 1st bend airfence, then Blackbird taking Bjerre into 2nd bend fence . Bjerre landed on top of fence and then fell to the floor. (4 riders) As Bjerre was unable to take his place in 4 rider rerun, it should have been Fisher in but was unable to as had no bike to compete with! So the Panthers unfortunately finished with 3! Heeps got 3 race wins, Risager after poor 1st heat went unbeaten and Manzares i such an intelligent rider. Worrall and Tungate went un-noticed really and the reserves got stuck in. Mention of Baby Bjerre too, showed his liking for Foxhall again and must have loved the extra dirt on the track.

or just " no i'll be in Ipswich tonight" but hey we find out in an hour!

Don't think he has a choice, the Danish fixture has priority......

Whilst coming out of Foxhall, Savalas Clouting (then Ipswich rider) joined a queue of traffic to exit the stadium, Thing is, he waited a while as he has got behind a parked car!

Danish Championships, Risager one of the reserves and down to ride too..... but deafening silence about that one! Especially now as Nicki Pedersen has withdrawn!

Thing is when is the cut off and would new riders such as King, Klindt, Proctor and Roynon be allowed to participate? 18.4 PREMIER LEAGUE BEST PAIRS 18.4.1 Qualification will be determined by the BSPA and make the Riding Order draw. So looks like the rules are as ambiguous as ever!
