Ipswich Vs Plymouth - Thursday 4th April


Recommended Posts

On the face of it two very similar sides and a toughtest for the Witches.

 

Key men I see as Morten and Kling. The winner of that personal head to head may well be the difference in the final score.

 

Witches to win by 6 - 10 points.

Preview for this meeting below:

 

Devils Are Next Targets For Witches

 

The Ipswich 'Sackers' Witches return to their normal Thursday race night this week and will face the Plymouth 'St Blazey MX, Drive Revive' Devils in a League Cup fixture. Plymouth have a new promotion and a new-look team this year. Ty Proctor replaces Ben Barker in the number one slot and the experienced Mark Lemon has joined them from Newcastle. They will be ably supported by skipper Cory Gathercole, Swede Ricky Kling and ex-witch Chris Schramm who always gives 110%.

After two tough meetings against Rye House over Easter weekend the Ipswich riders now have a few laps under their belts and number one Ben Barker will be extra keen to lead his team to victory over the team he rode for last year! Witches team manager Pete Simmons is expecting stronger opposition from the Devils this year but is targeting all three League Cups points to ensure his team progress in this competition.

Ipswich Speedway Supporters Club would like to remind under 16's that they can still join the Junior Witches for the early season discount price of £4 if they sign up on Thursday.

Not snowing here in Ipswich anymore and brightening up and no more snow or rain forecast after lunch. Suppose is because its Plymouth and will save coachloads of their supporters from the cold (and the witches ones too) ;)

Wish I was in the same part of Ipswich as you then, because at 13.24 it's still snowing where I live, and hasn't stopped since 8am this morning!!

Still snowing down here too....and blooming freezing!

 

In one way I am pleased it is off, I was not looking forward to being absolutely freezing again tonight, I'm only just getting over getting so cold last Friday!

Tonights meeting in cancelled due to the snow and possible freezing conditions this evening. sorry folks! :-(

 

Taking from Twitter.

 

BBC Suffolk are reporting that the meeting hasn't been cancelled, but rather postponed. It is intended that the meeting will take place at some time in future, although a restaging date has yet to be arranged.

 

I hope this helps.
