tocha Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am surprised that this fixture is still going ahead. Ipswich cannot now complete this 'competition' as Sheffield appear not to have a date free. Surely, it would have made more sense to have brought forward the 1st leg of the LC final against Somerset tonight leaving next Thursday free for the KOC final. The Witches would then still have the option of running the '16 lapper' on Weds 31st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Leaving Redcar or Berwick -- the northern winner will be revealed on Sunday after Glasgow's meeting -- high and dry with no-one to race in their final? Don't think so. Ipswich or Rye House will have one more northern trip, one more trophy final at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Sheff results will be expunged and a simple aggregate used from Witches/Rye fixtures.If rain tonight Rye to be seeded through.

spanner47 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Sheffield rode on an off night when it suited them earlier in the season, but understandably they dont want a (pointless) loss making meeting against us. Not too sure if Ippo really want this meeting either. The only possible beneift of getting through is, if Newcastle & Berwick get through in the respective cups, then we could have a jolly nice Weekend 27th/28th, that would certainly suit me. Looks like if we're going to get anymore rain, it's due around teatime. If it does go ahead, then lets hope the Lads dont do anything daft, and save themselves for the big Meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 How many times have we been against rye this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Can't help thinking that the lovely aljack has gone walkabout these days. Is that thanks to Witches possibly lifting three major trophies after all --- or has it thankfully been banned? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Does this mean Rye are through to PCT Final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Harris Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Didn't think the crowd was brilliant, maybe October is pushing it too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Does this mean Rye are through to PCT Final? Tecnically if Ipswich win at Sheffield by about 30 they could go through on better race points difference!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Tecnically if Ipswich win at Sheffield by about 30 they could go through on better race points difference!! But are they at Sheffield? And when -- Redcar can only stage Final on Thursday 25th, Berwick on Saturday 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sensiblr thing would be for Rye to go through and scrap the trip to Sheffield. That said there was mention of a neutral venue for the Sheff match so you never know!

Catch Me If You Can Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Tecnically if Ipswich win at Sheffield by about 30 they could go through on better race points difference!! Rye House host Sheffield this Saturday so really you would fancy them for 3 points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 The cynical amongst us would suggest the Witches threw this one away so they wouldn't be involved in any more meetings in the last 13 days of the season ! Concentrate on the other more meaningful cup competitions and forget about this one ? Your guess is as good as mine but after initially looking really good there was to me a visible element of a lethargic nature . Lets just hope they can get some fight and spirit going for the visit to Somerset tomorrow ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Rye House host Sheffield this Saturday so really you would fancy them for 3 points? I was taking that as a given hence the need for a big win for the Witches at Sheffield. Rye 2x3 point home wins, 2 pts at Sheff and 1 at Ipswich = 9 pts Ipswich 3+2 at home, nothing at Rye plus Sheff away need 4 pts from big win = 9pts Then its down to race points.

spanner47 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 The rumours were rife tonight about the Sheffield meeting. Most suggestions were that it could/would be ridden at Leicester or Scunny, then someone said came up with a good un, as Sheffield are at Rye on Saturday, why not have a double header. Either way Mr Machin will lose money, i suppose he'll pick the lesser of two evils (if he has to). Once again some good racing tonight, but as allready suggested, it did look as if we didn't really want to win, but that could be doing a disservice to Rye. Probably (and not unexpectedly) the smallest crowd of the season, but nowhere as poor as most had anticipated. The form of Taylor and Rohan is still a big worry with the two finals coming up, really puts the pressure on the four that are riding well.
