Purplepanthernotred 155 Posted May 16, 2022 Think it’ll be a couple of points either way on this one, possibly witches 46-44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ipswich should own this. Holder has a bruised toe , Ellis was in Poland scoring 2 for Team GB - all set up for the Witches to win by 8 or more. I will be asleep while that match is on (sounds like many other Witches fans already are asleep!), and will catch up with the TV coverage on Tuesday morning. It's from some Ippo supporters on this very site. Probably on this very thread If they win tonight they will thank me for opening one.....

Holder injured his left leg in GP at the weekend Promoters know there are other riders apart from Bomber don't they?! Anyway tire him out before Weds, he might need the night off!

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But will have his Glasgow team mate Hume (still in for Rowe?) there with advice on the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu219 92 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
