cinderfella 865 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cinderfella 865 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted September 1, 2018 Scott Nicholls must be getting close to a 4 home and 4 away average for Ipswich now !!!! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
