cinderfella Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Isn't it interesting how all of a sudden The Witcheselect to use two guests (Scott Nicol & Ben Barker) for important matches now the play-offs beckon? Wonder what their fans think considering the number of times they've been short changed with r/r? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there been any (real) reason why your Management has not used guests? Money, unavailability or unwillingness by riders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie said on the Mike on Thursday that apart from Scott and one or two others, it appears the younger riders don't want to race every night of the week, hence getting guests was hard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinderfella Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yet they all complain about lack of racing time? It still amazes me how many guys who want to be professional riders turn down opperchancities to join teams because of travelling. We get it at Glasgow every years as do all the other Northern tracks I dare say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 This has the look of a cracking match Two great sides both with play off hopes intact (just!) Wish we could do a Massif road trip to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Looks to me the witches have 4 points in the bag with this one. The tigers look okay ish on paper, so will keep the witches honest. Anytime Scott and bomber race against each other it's always entertaining.

scoobydoo Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Scott Nicholls must be getting close to a 4 home and 4 away average for Ipswich now !!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just seen the full teams on official Facebook site and can't help thinking this match will be decided by the reserves. And with Nathan now at reserve and still sadly injured we have a guest rather than r/r which makes us a lot weaker. Tuesdays guest is gino manzares so no disrespect but it's putting a lot of pressure on young Jack. With nichols and Barker riding for them it makes them stronger and favourites to win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Garcia turning it on in recent weeks and Kemp seemingly a decent prospect we need JT to be in amongst it from ht2. God help us with Sarjeant in the 1-5. Perhaps we could arrange a mechanic for Manzares to get the best out of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost as if you’ve been keeping a close eye on the Witches, watching us go in to meetings understrength and rubbing your hands at the prospect of a comfortable evening dispatching a weakened side, and now you’re royally cheesed off that we’ve got the brass neck to turn up with a full septet! The side that will turn up will STILL be weaker than our own 7 without Danny King and Rory Schlein btw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Edinburgh's point at Workington last night makes the two Glasgow/ipswich meetings coming up crucial . In reality it looks like either the Tigers or the Witches will have to win both meetings to have a chance of making the play offs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Time for a plan between us to stop the trick trackers making it then. If they do I fear the worst . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Think Glasgow v Ipswich will be a epic battle. Witches need to gain 4 league points which is a massive ask but we have nicholls and barker guesting while the tigers have chosen Manzares which makes us slightly stronger imo. Think we will lose by 4 on the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
