2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Gathercole is in for Cook My offer still stands! Gathercole had 2 meetings this year at Foxhall, scoring 7 from 5 and 6 from 4. Doesn't sound too bad but beat his team mate 7 times, Holder, Reade and Glanz. Has 1 good ride a meeting when he gates and beat Lanham and Heeps and then Tungate and Heeps. *Famous last words......* Edited October 4, 2012 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Gathercole is in for Cook Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like the Monarchs are in for a real doing tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Can't help but think that the KO cup semi is there for the taking for the Witches tonight... Surely Wölbert could've guested??? Can see a healthy 20pt lead for the BWitches tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie4388 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Whose to say Wolberts in the Country? With Kings Lynn having completed their fixtures he may have gone back to Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Would like to think a half decent lead could be achieved tonight but let's be honest the Witches have been a complete enigma this season ! So much promise but very little actually achieved . Could be a feisty affair after the recent meetings between the clubs so bring it on !

2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Need an "incident" early on that will get the crowd involved, just some handbags but would make for a better atmosphere. Bit like the Poole/Birks incident a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljack Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Edinburgh with Gathercole at no1 are there for the taking but what Witches team will turn up??? On paper an easy home win but we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Edinburgh with Gathercole at no1 are there for the taking but what Witches team will turn up??? On paper an easy home win but we will see they will need at least 12-15 points lead to take to Armadale.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 In the League match score was 48-41, but Jorgensen was guesting at #1 and scored 12. Dont think Gathercole will score that! Witches should be able to take a healthy lead but that depends on "Witch" team turns up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Can ask all they like, but won't he be riding for his current team Redcar? Thats a shame any bets on any riders coming of and not clearing the track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travertine Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 ......... Gathercole had 2 meetings this year at Foxhall, scoring 7 from 5 and 6 from 4. Doesn't sound too bad but beat his team mate 7 times, Holder, Reade and Glanz. Has 1 good ride a meeting when he gates and beat Lanham and Heeps and then Tungate and Heeps. *Famous last words......* No, You're safe ............. 7 from 4 this time, with Lanham and Tungate succumbing to his now customary one race win at Foxhall!

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The Witches always in control but also just looking like they could throw it all away at any moment!! Got to be happy with a 20 point lead but it could have been 30. It would take some kind of disaster to lose it from here. A number of riders struggled on the apex of turns 1&2 - right about where the raker chooses to scrape great clumps of shale off his boots!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young51 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Poor from the Monarchs tonight..very disappointing.A pretty strange choice of guest to be honest though thanks to Cory for his efforts of course:-)Such a shame Cookie was injured last sunday as he would have made a real difference im sure:-(Will Ipswich be naming Tom Daley in the line up for next weeks return at the Dale by the way? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner47 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Bends 1&2 appeared a bit unpredictable early on, but after that no problem. Cant be many tracks where you can pass inside and outside all night, good stuff!! Only Taylor had an off night, well done to the other 6, lets hope it's enough, it should be.

aljack Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 A good all-round performance from the Witches apart from Taylor who sadly seems to have lost it at the moment and looks destined to be discarded next season. As has been said the 2nd bend looks to have problems for alot of riders and needs sorting out as riders could get injured and god knows there's been enough of those this season. One very worrying aspect of last nights meeting for CL must be the very poor gate, this was the Witches most important meeting of the season and there looked to be no more than a few hundred there! So CLs talk of going back into the elite league in the future better come sooner rather than later otherwise the fan base will have nearly disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aljack Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I'd take Taylor Poole any day of the week I never said I wouldn't just said it looks like he will get discarded next season as someone has to, to make way for our genuine no1. There's talk of CL also signing Lanham, Matt, Heeps and Nielsen next season and surely Dak and Rohan are certainties so that only leaves club asset Morten and poor Taylor do it not to get discarded?

Bach would have been the first and he turned up with Tully in the pits, but Edinburgh had been told he was out of the country. In fact Corey did fine after a bad heat 1. He was pipped in his second race and should have been selected for heat 15. Tabaka's fall in heat 2 was crucial, he could hardly hang on after that. Edinburgh would have been looking for 20+ from their numbers 1 and 6 but only got 7. Wethers and Tully were good but the Ipswich fans who post on here are only interested in their own riders. The tie is far from over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
