Had Enough 233 Posted August 13, 2013 After seeing off north-eastern table-toppers Redcar Bears in fine style on Saturday, the Sackers Witches turn their attention to the north-west and another play-off place rival, in the shape of the Thomas Armstrong Comets from Workington: http://www.ipswichwitches.co/index.php/news-centre/698-comets-expected-on-thursday Both teams should be at full-strength, although Ashley Morris will undergo a fitness test on his injured wrist - a NL guest will be used if Morris is unable to ride. Can track expert Rene Bach lead the Comets to important PL points? Richard Lawson has shown improved scoring at Foxhall this season, and Kyle Howarth is in good form. Much will hinge on the contributions of Tero Aarnio, Rusty Harrison and former Witch, Chris Mills. Whoop! Whoop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Django 159 Posted August 13, 2013 Is that confirmed as the official Workington order? If so I think it will work much better, Rene with Rusty and Kyle with Tero, think will create a bit more harmony in the team again and hopefully will get the ball rolling again for us. Having said that I think we will struggle to hit 40 points on Thurs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted August 13, 2013 49 - 41 will do for me but hope for better. The Comets are capable of running us close and a big win first time round in the KO Cup doesnt mean anything - as we proved! Woop Woop! A big score would be nice to lay down a marker for the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

comet49 314 Posted August 13, 2013 I hope we get 40 or Ipswich don't get 55. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted August 13, 2013 As long as the ref keeps an eye on Bachs constant gate jumping we should win this comfortably enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,855 Posted August 13, 2013 All depends on who the ref is and what rules he/she sees fit i suppose. ^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted August 13, 2013 Could be alot closer than most think , the Comets are more than capable of performing at Foxhall . But hey what do I know ? I've been way off with most of my predictions this year ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Lucan 375 Posted August 13, 2013 Some of our blokes are struggling away from home lately so if we can keep this under 60 I think we will have done well? Need all the Ht leaders to show up at this party if we expect to get any points and then support from the ranks for the rest, we have ridden well at Ipswich before now so here's hoping we can do so again, fingers crossed!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topaz325 1,855 Posted August 13, 2013 I thought there was only one rule, which is riders must be stationary at the line when green light is on Seems to depend on who the ref is though and how they interpret the rules of false starts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
