So if Perry is now out of the no7 protected position, what's stopping Peterborough replacing him like for like? eg a 5 pointer.

Hume riding really well again...

Most of the passes recently are done around the outside of bends 3 and 4. 1 and 2 bends don't seem to have the same grip. How many times have we seen the likes of Covatti, King, Barker, Heeps and even Tungate (OK I'm pushing it now?!) Try to find a way past on the outside of the first 2 corners only to actually lose ground!? Heeps move against Kerr last week wasn't a bad move.. Just skidded across the corner then nothing to hold him or Kerr up.

Teams anyone? Witches King Kerr Risager Sarjeant Covatti Castagna Greenwood Edinburgh ? Wonder how long before Chris Louis does the following? "For the best speedway supporters in the world, we need a 8th man. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'aving you. Come on!"

Heat 10 on bspa website. Weird choice of heat.. Surely there were better ones?

Think there are many fans that have hit the nails in the head and have walked away after no one listened. More and more people say "i used to go" All the time we are told "at least you have a somewhere to ride and have a team" but that mindset will see the sport die. Its been said before but the whole sport is on its bum and drastic action needs to be taken from all in positions of power to find a solution..... and fast!

Will the change be the kick up the ar$e to the other riders to show them that changes may be made in future if they dont perform?

Did any of the riders practice on Thursday after the meeting? Saw Hume going round but any others?

Lol. Had to tap someone up for the info but always a good source!

Who saw that coming? (Helmet colours, green..wood) wink

Bit like when Rickardsson finished and Sweden failed to replace him? Same as with Hans Nielsen and Denmark?

Cannot be him then...

Yup... Andy Mountains( ex rider) son. From Kings Lynn, or so speedway GB says.

In that case huge news would be Kerr or Risager out... And Massive news would be King or Covatti out... Just news then IMO... Bit like changing helmet colours back to white from Green... Wood it make too much difference...? Either way won't have a Mountain to climb...But Hume knows who it gonna be! 😉

Like moths to a flame....

Taken from updates "Bacon slowed up backstraight, Ritchings failed to see him, and went straight into the back of him and falls. Ritchings going to be looked at by doctors." Ritchings obviously continued in meeting but wonder if injury will keep him out of Thursday? No reasons given as to why we now have a home match this week instead of being at Redcar? Maybe CL has a master plan?

Will Ritchings ride? Pulled out of last nights match at rye for Ipswich after partner went into labour.

At least we look a 'team' in matchings suits in club colours.... And that ladies and gentleman is where it started to go downhill....

If the team if not going to change... Then why not change the riding order. 1 King 2 Kerr 3 Risager 4 Sarjaent 5 Covatti 6 Castagna 7 Ritchings / Hume Try something... Anything....

Half the team are poor.. But only Paco and Morten doing their jobs

Headache for CL if Hume does well....?

Yes we do... Edinburgh brought forward a week to 19th . but none on 26th

How is Karger anywhere near the PL?

Exactly how I felt... Bored. In fact for the last 5 heats the speedway interrupted the conversations! Hume was practising after... Maybe a change coming?

So what happened tonight then.... Dodododododododo (EastEnders style) A Witches win? Yes... Just, but 10 up after 10 then only 1 race winner Sarjaent not jumping the start? No he didn't... Rider of night? A crowd that's entertained? Nope... Nothing new there Paco full max? Unfortunately not but rode well early on Ritchings effort paying off? In the mix but 1+1 from 3 Kerr scoring points in 1st 2 heats? Yes for 1st. No for 2nd. Risager's new ability to overtake? He did it again. Covatti not falling off? Stayed on tonight but only just King back to his Foxhall best? Sadly not, but did score after falling off and remounted to beat Karger. All will be revealed tonight 7.45pm in the next episode of Ipswich Witches - the struggle Don't be late.... Bring a mate! Nah don't bother, they wonder what you have out them through!
