Super Blue

But will Ben actually win a heat 1 at home ?

BBC radio Suffolk predicting localised torrential thunderstorms ! Such fun . Lets hope Foxhall ( famous for its own micro climate ) avoids any of these today !

Its always got to be a joke system when the Witches , winners 2 years ago didn't have a high enough combined average to defend it last year ! Qualifying is the only way to go with this , the pairs and any competition that requires that you have to have high averaged riders to compete !

Are you getting these from actual stats or is it just an opinion ? I find it hard to believe that not one Mildenhall rider figures in the top 10 !

Just checked about 4 different weather forecasts and they all pretty much predict varying amounts of rain at varying times for tomorrow . Im going to try and believe the best one that says a couple of showers during the day . Well that's my optimistic side anyway !

At last a thread actually about a speedway meeting ! I'll go for a Witches win but not not a massive one , as said the Rockets usually pull something out of the bag at Foxhall .

Cracking advert for PL racing ! Good meeting , passing , it had everything you could want . Well done to both teams .

Last year the Monarchs waited till the death before arranging a date with the Witches , some hidden agenda perhaps ? At Ipswich we ended up missing out on our traditional season closing meeting partly due to the weather but also the inability to get match dates confirmed ! Hope it doesn't happen again this year .

Im afraid I have to agree with part of what the Presenter had to say . Personally , I've never particularly rated Pete Simmons as a motivator and some of his decisions or should I say lack of them regarding obvious switches that need to be made are quite bemusing . How much of the weekends results are down to CL's pep talks etc we will of course never know but after the pretty apathetic performance on thursday it's nice to see that the team does have a little fire in it ! Yup , Adam Roynon would be a good choice but I fear he's off to Dry House .

Ref my earlier prediction , humble pie tastes remarkably like Dominos pizza , well it does tonight anyway !

Let's hope Barker can find some home form , win a heat1 and get a max there !

Ugh , updates site gone down , what's happening , anyone ?

Hope I do look stupid with my prediction !

Not a cat's chance Baldy !

Ah , but not necessarily a heat advantage . That would be asking too much !

Well , I see a Workington like defeat here . Probably have used both tacticals by about heat 8 and end up getting thoroughly hammered ! I'd like to say prove me wrong but it's never going to happen !

Bens been a disappointment to me this season as well , an outright no1 with his average who hasn't won heat 1 yet to me is a serious let down ! He is still exciting to watch though .

I would take him at Ipswich as well but can anyone see Chris Louis making a positive move like this would be ? Not a chance !

After last night's inept performance by the Witches against Newcastle I have no idea how anyone can predict an away win for this one ! Big home win IMO .

No and as soon as pretty much anyone puts on the Witches no1 race jacket it screws them up big time . Ah well , mid table mediocre rules !

Well how rubbishe was that ? The track seemed really tricky early on . We had the really exciting news that Hawkins is staying for the rest of the season ( huh hmm , not ! ) Fair play to Newcastle though , they are a strong team and plugged away all night to get the result . Tungate , the only rider to perform and he blew it big time by screwing up Barkers outside run in ht15 ! Barker , can't win a first heat to save his life and can't gate to boot ! Every else mediocre or poor to say the least ! A couple of good passes in heats 13 and 14 aside I felt it was a pretty inept and gutless effort by most of the team ! Just goes to show how poor we really are as most of the best teams in the league will pretty much go unbeaten at home all season . Reality kicks in that mid table is the best we can hope for . Obviously the forum doesn't like the word I used in the first line so please substitute anything rhyming with flight to replace rubbishe !!!

Having now printed out my scoresheet for this one and looked through the heats I've come to the conclusion that Witches will need to be on top form to get anything out of the meeting . Newcastle look strong throughout with several riders that like Foxhall or have done in the past . I definitely see it being a close meeting or we end up getting battered , I don't see a big Witches win at all . I obviously hope im wrong and will happily eat a large slice of humble pie if I am !

Will certainly be quite a challenge for the Witches to remain unbeaten at home with this one . I'd take any kind of win right now !

Alex Davies is really showing how good he is tonight !
