Paulco Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) So after the hilarity of England's World Cup exit , we can get back to the speedway again . And it's a wee toughie this Sunday . The only side to face the smug steamroller and not lose , the Witches of Ippo . Led by the now lesser Worrall and ably backed up by messers Tungate and Risager . How their American will do on our track is anybodies guess , but their lower order of Heeps , Ellis and Hawkins could be troublesome . We will be heartened by last week's performance and have Edinburgh's Aaron Fox as this week's guest reserve ( he's only Samantha when riding for the smugs ) This will be the third meeting in three days for both teams , so i hope these line-ups make it to the tapes . Glasgow 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 Christian Henry 3 Anders Thomsen 4 Theo Pijper 5 Rusty Harrison 6 Kasper Lykke 7 Aaron Fox Ipswich 1 Richie Worrall 2 Cameron Heeps 3 Morten Risager 4 Gino Manzares 5 Rohan Tungate 6 Adam Ellis 7 Richie Hawkins Hard meeting to predict . Ipswich came up here last year and battered us , but we were an embarrassment last year and we have shown some improvement . But the Witches are in form at the minute and this one could go either way Edited June 20, 2014 by Paulco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Well we did appear to be coming into some sort of form before our visit to Scunny but our legendary inconsistency doesn't bode well for the weekend visits to Worky and yourselves !

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Who knows what the Witches might do? Â Anything from a 20 point defeat to a 20 point win is possible from this team at present. Â Eenie meenie minie mo - draw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Like all other witches fans, I could easily see a win here, or another battering, much like last season's visits to dp, one hammering and one win How did we go at Glasgow last season?

Won pretty easily last season but we were pretty awful last year for all off the season will be pretty tight tomorrow to close to call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday 25th August 2013 Glasgow 36 - Grieves 11 Jacobs 6+3 Bager 6 Lemon (g) 6 North 5+1 Ringwood 2 Thomsen 0 Ipswich 56 - Barker 13 Heeps 10+4 Lanham 10 Tungate 9+1 Ellis 6 Hawkins 5+2 Risager 3 So as you can see , a bit of a slaughter . But that was then , this is now . Tomorrow's forecast is favourable and i think this has all the makings of a very tight , entertaining encounter .

If our "number 1" matches Barkers 13 tomorrow I'll run a lap of Foxhall pre meeting Thursday in my birthday suit! You won't see paid 14 from Heeps this year either it's really sad to see the lad struggle so badly after having such a promising year last year.  I do think we'll win tomorrow, and that's because I think our reserve pairing is a lot stronger than Glasgow's and that will see us through.  Possibly.

TheScotsman Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks Paulco. Â Interesting to see Hawkins can make it to Scotland - must just be the east(ish) side he can't get to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks Paulco. Â Interesting to see Hawkins can make it to Scotland - must just be the east(ish) side he can't get to!! I watched him ride Armadale ( or try too ) for Somerset a few years back . His bike looked to be far too powerful for the track as when he got to the bends it was Bambi on ice stuff . Maybe it's just Armadaleitus with him . Plus in his career he's ridden for Berwick , Workington , Somerset and Sheffield - not a small track rider Edited June 21, 2014 by Paulco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Heads up for Chris Louis. Â Chris, save yourself some travel costs tomorrow and only send up half your team. It's all you'll need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heeps was awesome at Glasgow last year, Risager less so. A good match in prospect and for the second Sunday in a row it should be dry. Kasper could be busy covering for the heat leaders! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 How things change. An hour ago I decided enough's enough, I'm not going tomorrow. Now? I want to go to see if the track doctor is p!ssed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 He must be having a laugh at our expense........ unless the Monarch's promotion are paying us to lower his average for next season ? If our No 1 doesn't score 10 or more in this meeting, I'll not be back at Ashfield while he's still in the team. Lemon no more. W002-bert now in my last chance saloon. Bring back George Stancl and Shane P. At least they tried their hearts out for the Tiggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Having been battered at Scunny and spectacularly grabbed a defeat from the jaws of victory at Worky I can only imagine that the Witches confidence will be pretty low for this encounter ! Â Had we won last night I would have given us a great chance for some points but I think we are ripe for the taking . Â We have massive potential but humongous great inconsistency which is our downfall at the moment ! Â Mid table mediocrity rules once again after everyone else catches up with their meetings in hand . Â I think I might be hugely disappointed yet again after tonight , im not optimistic .
