Probably on this very thread If they win tonight they will thank me for opening one..... I think Compost Corner was a feature on Tiswas . There was a bunch of us who followed the Witches home and away late 70s, early 80s - and many different names and nicknames were used for riders and teams. KL were called the Deadbeets (after the sugar beet factory behind the first/second bend was demolished). Those of us who watched speedway then saw the last heyday of the sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ironic that Holder is remembered at Ipswich for withdrawing with a bruised toe - seems that he doesn't like to race at Foxhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badge Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Really bad news that no Paul tonight, his points are vital, no idea how broc is riding at the moment and if he can even ride our track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Big blow losing Starke. Was the reserves that made me think we could sneak it. Not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeScreen Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Absence Starke is big problem for Witches. For me Tigers easy win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will have his Glasgow team mate Hume (still in for Rowe?) there with advice on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu219 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Missing Starke could mean the difference between winning and losing. He is our most underated rider by a country mile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first meeting was as an 8 year old in 72. Great atmosphere in those days. Propper local derby's. I even remember that there was a few police in the stadium for at least one Ippo vist. Maybe early to mid 80's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bash Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 When I was watching the GP Saturday and Holder was involved in a crash, I thought he would use it as an excuse to not turn up at Foxhall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sheffield to win this and I would've predicted them to take 3 league points even if Starke was riding. Both of Sheffield's reserves know Foxhall quite well, Ellis should be happy as a pig in sh!te around Foxhall considering his electric gating ability. Cook could also cause the Witches a few problems from the easy No.2 position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
