Paulco Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Second visit of one of our main title rivals , well they were before the Forces of Darkness put a curse on their unbeaten home record last night . Nevertheless they will arrive with a wounded cauldron and will want to rectify that home slip up . Last time we raced to a 10-2 lead after heat 2 , which proved crucial as the Witches came back at us and it was 49-43 at the end , Witches being only the second team to leave fortress Ashfield with a point . Once again they are led by Danny King and a couple of ex-Monarchs - Poo Boy and the gating tart that is Justin Sedgmen . Cameron Heeps can be troublesome round our place and Newman and the reserves can also weigh in with points . For us , our big three will have to bang in double figures , while we could be doing with Dan not sleeping at the tapes on one of his rides , as he usually does . Showers are forecast , so the hope is that they miss the track as this is a crucial encounter in the race for the play offs . I know the top 4 is pretty much settled , but we want to finish top so we can pick Edinburgh . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 No danger for the Tigers home record Dont expect even a point for the Witches this time round Home win by 52-40 at least 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 After last I would expect a good showing from the team..even if it's to prove to themselves they are better than that. Trouble is..we seem to have developed a weak spine. Justin at number2 for this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 If our top 2 ride the way they did against Edinburgh we've not got a cats chance in hell of getting anything out of the meeting, especially with you know who expected to ride at 4. Better not say more or I'll be accused of rider bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not one of his favourite tracks..his own words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not one of his favourite tracks..his own words. He's had some good meetings at Ashfield in the past , albeit against much weaker Tigers septets . He's a totally different rider round Ashfield when he gates , poodles around at the back when he doesn't . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 See another team getting shot of Sedgmen the latest being Rye House , nice to see the Witches showing some loyalty to him he must be feeling pretty down as the Edinburgh mob keep telling us he needs molly coddled to get the best out him. Looks like the Witches are stuck with the underperformer for the duration , on the plus side he will be on a nice average for Scotland's second team next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see what he brings tomorrow, the track will be slicker to cope with the heavy rain which will suit him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just surprised the Witches have stuck with him , gates and he is ok if he doesn't then you can forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 You just imagine how surprised some of us ipswich fans are then. One thing ipswich are though is loyal to riders. Which sometimes is a good thing, but in most cases not a good thing. How seriously do they want to win??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I'm just surprised the Witches have stuck with him , gates and he is ok if he doesn't then you can forget it.trouble is there has been an increasing number of races where even if he gates he isnt ok especially away from home....

MD Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Thats four home meetings I think we now need to re-schedule which we cant fit in. Having been off for the Cardiff GP, we arent running again this weekend coming as its the Fours at PB. There seems to be very little cooperation between most clubs in re-arranging fixtures and we are yet again paying the price for having blank fixtures in the pre-July period where no one would come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on there MD, I've been whinging for years there should be a fixtures coordinator, but they know best, strange how we get to this situation every season though. They'll probably wait until September then realise something doesn't add up. I would mention how many meetings Workington have still got to sort out, but their website doesn't help that much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
