Ipswich Witches V Sheffield Tigers Monday 4th May


Recommended Posts

It's a good job the forum was down during this match - God only knows what sort of comments would've been on here ..............

 

Think the forums would have gone into meltdown if it had been up , not alot of happy Witches fans yesterday afternoon .

 

Alot of comments of the match update site about the team , management and mostly about the referee and some very strange decisions.

Well deserved win for the Tigers - more commited and the right attitude.

 

The ref was truly awful but even his performance couldnt paper over the cracks!!

Your not wrong there Travertine. I was trying to login from the stands after heat 14 when defeat was finally confirmed after a poor days racing. What happens next? The speakers boom out with Robbie Williams 'Let me entertain you' . Good stuff from Nico though.

Just as the day couldn't get much worse there is an annoucement that somebody had managed to leave a dump so mighty that they had destroyed the plumbing in all the lavs apart from those between the stands.

Can you give a idea of what was said at the after meet forum Baldyman - I had an 11 year old son who was impatient to get home and wasnt in the mind to argue with him!!

Fantastic win for Sheffield yesterday glad I decided to go, after the hammering we took at Somerset I wasn't really expecting a point never mind 3! Yes Ipswich had their problems and bad decisions against them but you have to take advantage of this if and when the opportunity comes around.

 

Luckily for us it was to be the case, helped by some fast gating and determination. After the last 2 seasons this year is a massive improvement, massively disappointed that Steady and Bellego are missing but think they have been covered well so far.

 

7 points from 3 away matches is more than we managed all last season so can't complain.

 

On a separate note I have read some negative posts regarding Ty Proctor which I think are a little bit unfair. Upto the Ipswich home match he was on a 9+ average and 9th in the Speedway star averages! Not bad when his official average is around 6.50. His away form apart from at Somerset has been very good just needs to master Owlerton. Andre has also been going about his business quietly and riding very well too.

 

Going forward I think changing the riding order may benefit us! At home i would be tempted to for

It's a good job this forum was off line as I'd have probably have got myself banned for bad language towards the referee !

 

It was however a shocking performance by the majority of the Witches and Sheffield were fully deserving of their victory .

 

It wasn't helped by alot of movement at the starts , the ref should have recalled several of the early heats and although there's no such rule as first bend bunching a bit of common sense should have prevailed when riders fell after said contact , and the decision to exclude Rohan when Morris locked up in front of him brought the refs incompetence to new depths !

 

I was beginning to think Barbara Horley had taken her wig off and become Mick Bates the decisions were that bad !

 

At the forum afterwards there was much discussion about not being mentally tough enough yesterday and the obvious disappointment of losing , the poor track conditions and also questions were asked about Ritchies problems and Cam's form being so hit and miss at Foxhall .

also Ritchie has a different engine coming from Chris for our next meeting. The riders were also asked why the whole day they couldn't get out the starts and where the starts prepared any different. I didn't know this but apparently Chris is the main man for the prep now. He said he didn't get it right because it was under water on the Sunday and the track walk before the meeting didn't help with getting the water into it. I also had a good chat with Ritchie after he came over and shook my hand off his own back which was nice of him. what I nice bloke he is. We had a chat about his equipment and what's happening with it and a chat about the new team manager and a few other things.

 

Firstly well done Sheffield.

 

Our problems stem from Cam and Rohan struggling at home and Richie struggling everywhere[/quote

 

Cameron has been pretty good away though. And rohan hasn't. Normally rohan is good at home and Cameron isn't so good.
