Hopefully same performance again tonight 😜🤣

Tate Zischke just been announced

See my above post, new brexit rules make it harder to bring equipment into the country so probably not worth it for many top riders

Coventry, Swindon, Arena, Peterborough to name a few.

All these teams wanting to come back. Which teams?

Bob Ellis. Been a terrific servant over so many years, but tonight was his last meeting https://ipswichwitches.co/tru7-group-witches-boss-hurry-beaten-by-the-better-side-as-aces-win-play-off-semi-final-opener-at-foxhall/ So we’ll definitely have someone new next year.

Surprised at the field, thought Woffy would've used his "celebrity status" to bring some top riders over, especially ones who don't race in GB to boost the crowd?

To be picky it's actually called the Premiership. Lapsed fans may still think of the Premier league as the second tier. Probably not a question for this post, but did they gain anything from naming the leagues after football? Really hope Speedway returns to Arlington, but won't get my hopes up. Be good if a Speedway fan won the lottery / Euromillions.

The meeting the other week against Sheffield was very good, some excellent racing with lots of passing. But most of the riders were having a whinge on both sides that the track was “tricky to ride” and they were struggling a bit with it. Tonight most of the riders were praising the track because it was smooth and easy to ride, but was serving up next to no entertainment to the supporters. Give me the track like it was against Sheffield and tell them to get on with it!

I believe we have had 14 meetings this season. Quite shocking when we used to have nearly 30. What I want to know is with all these defunct teams wanting to come back, where are we getting the riders from? And even if we get riders from abroad, how the hell are most clubs going to pay them on pitiful gates.

In May Rounf 6 Wroclaw beat Torun 53-38 with only Sayfutdinov 11 and Dudek 10 making double figures Lambert scoring 4 (admitedly in far better form now). Kurtz only managed 3(4) for Sparta. As others have said Wroclaw will need to score heavily early or this is likely to be as one sided as the Witches vs Aces meetin in the UK.

It certainly was from the terraces. Really concerning and more importantly where this sport is heading. A sport with no participants surely ceases to be a sport eventually. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe you said before that something like 90 odd British riders have been lost to the sport in the last decade? If that's the case then that far outweighs anything to do with silverware.

Good to hear Coleman addressing the supporters at the end as well. Again dangling the carrot of things being much better next year and exciting times ahead at Foxhall. He can certainly talk the talk, and he deserves the chance to walk the walk. Grateful that he stepped in personally and gave us speedway again this year.

We've had 1 decent meeting thus year, the rest have been appalling racing wise. Either too grippy or mega slick. Track guy, who does whatever he wants and not what he's told, has got to go pronto. Well done to the Aces as predicted far too strong for the witches.

Venues will be released this weekend !!

Can you divulge more ?? As for the result no surprise whatsoever and with the Aces reserves easily outscoring the Witches reserve pairing never in question. I would imagine the Foxhall faithful will only want to see Musielak, Brennan (2nd string) + King returning next season.

If I was Richard Coleman I would be really embarrassed after tonight,not only for teams performance but for the quality of the product on show, it was a tough watch

Tonights the reason when there should be I league in GB next season,while lowering the throughout the Teams you will able to have competitive meetings between Teams of equal standard.Would pay money to watch mismatch meetings for most of the season.

Well looks like Lawson, Zac and Cairns are saving themselves for the match that really matters tomorrow judging from tonights result.

Hopefully if the lights and electric get put in place, should be 7pk starts, so you could see the reds, go to the Waverley for food, then to the speedway 😄🏁

It depends who is listened to. Can have all the ambition and finance in the world but that won’t help you if you’ve no idea how to put a successful team together.

Think Tom is a perfect fit for King's Lynn tbh.
