Pob Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) A must win match for the Witches any thing less than taking 3 points and stopping the Tigers from picking up a losing point and it's no play offs for the 2nd year running . Witches should be a full strength for this vital meeting , as for the Tigers not sure . Garrity missed the Tigers away loss to Glasgow Sunday 4th Sep with a hand injury he aggravated on the Friday night while riding for his EL club Coventry at Bell Vue . Weather forecast for this coming week looking good . Edited September 5, 2016 by Pob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 So long as we get 50+ I'll be happy. Just as important to be consistent and get 50+ at Redcar. No point getting 60 at home and then 40 away..... Both will be tough - whatever will be will be as they say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) It's all rather quiet on this thread. Given how easy it was for Glasgow to beat Sheffield and the Witches recent home form I'd like to think it would be a nice little comfortable home win, but also with the recent inactivity for some of the riders you never know. I'm going for a mid 50's pts Witches win with Danny continuing his unbeaten Foxhall run depending of course on young Mr Garrity's form and participation. Steady hasn't exactly been in rip roaring form of late either. We will see come Thursday evening, perhaps the thread will liven up closer to the meeting?

Reviresco Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Interview with Chris Louis on BBC Radio Suffolk's Drive Time show hosted by Foz, mainly about the air fence loan to the Devils (starts at about 35:42): http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0452h8l (Is it me, or is it not Tuesday today? I am sure that they both agreed that the Witches were racing at home against the Tigers tomorrow (Wednesday) night...? Ahhhh, maybe the idea was to play this on the show tomorrow night. Checks calendar, checks date on phone and laptop... phew, it isn't me, is it?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I have lost a lot of puff recently. Though the BSF Massif Facebook site has taken up a bit of my time as has planning my Big Birthday Bash.

Reviresco Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Forecast looks very good for tomorrow now. I am off to Birmingham soon to watch Danyon in the Brummies first leg of the NLKOC v Kent and Danny Ayers (and James Shanes) so if anyone can come up with a "MAssif" theme, please feel free to post on here or on the Facebook page, otherwise it is Anthony's Minions suggestion.....

Pob Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 No theme needed we will just concentrate on what we are good at (mind you that's very debatable !!!) making some noise and showing our support for the Witches in this must win fixture. Come on you Witches fans bring the noise lets get the crowd going and fire up our riders . They have been brilliant at home lately (when was the last home meeting ? ) lets get behind them and make sure the Tigers are tamed .

Pob Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Taken form the Witches website The ‘Tru7.com’ Witches are back in action at Foxhall on Thursday as they take on the Sheffield Tigers in a vital Premier League clash (7.30pm). The Witches have not been in action for three weeks since their annihilation of Workington at Foxhall with the away meeting at Redcar rained-off. Since then the play-off picture has become a little clearer as it looks like a shootout for the final two places between Sheffield, Peterborough, Workington and the Witches. A win for the Witches is imperative if they wish to keep their play-off hopes alive with the added importance of making sure the Tigers pick up nothing at Foxhall. The home side are at full strength for the clash. A win for the away side would all but confirm their spot in the end of season shoot-out but they will have to do better than their previous visit to Suffolk earlier in the season as they were defeated 51-39 in the League Cup. The Yorkshire side are led by local legend Simon Stead with Jason Garrity and Kyle Howarth providing support although there are injury doubts over Garrity and teammate Dimitri Berge ahead of Thursday's meeting. British under-21 champion Josh Bates will also be in action for the away side on what promises to be a thrilling night of action. Team Manager Ritchie Hawkins says the break for the team has been frustrating but believes the riders will be ready for Thursday's test. "We got on a good run before the break at home, so to have a three week break wasn't ideal but that is the way of the world at the moment," said Hawkins. "Luckily most of the boys have been racing in a lot of meetings and have been busy riding so they haven't had much of a break like we have as a team. "It's quite simple what we need; we need two wins this week and we need to win by more than six against Sheffield to stop them getting a point, anything less is not good enough." Hawkins says the team are in good enough form to grab the chance with both hands and make the play-offs with the pressure on the opposition to maintain their place in the top six. "It's time for them to stand up and be counted, they've got the opportunity to make the play-offs and we are in the form of a good play-off team so the opportunity is there for us to grab. We know what we have got to do we've just got to go out there and do it. "Sheffield and Peterborough are the two teams we can catch mathematically and they have both dropped down the table a bit so the pressure is on them to keep those spots. In contrast we were written off a long time ago by many . "The form we have been in at home I would expect us to beat anyone and we need to win by more than six it's quite simple. I'd expect us to beat them with a full strength team so we need to get that done and then move onto Redcar." Ipswich 'Tru7.com' Witches: 1. Danny King © 9.38 2. James Sarjeant 5.45 3.

Pob Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Anyou news if Garrity is going to be fit first this ? Edited September 7, 2016 by Pob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 From the Sheffield web site:- Dimitri (Berge) is still struggling with a leg injury but he’s going to be OK to ride, and Josh (Bates) is coming off his antibiotics now and is feeling much better. We’re still not sure whether Jason (Garrity) will be fit or not, but we’ll go there and give it our best to try and get a result. Ipswich are a strong side so it’s going to be difficult, but if everyone does their job then we’re capable of a good result. Heat-leader Jason Garrity remains a doubt with a hand injury which caused him to miss Sunday’s trip to Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
