Super Blue

If only the gp ref had been in charge I'm sure it would have been all 4 back ( tongue in cheek )

A bit of a joke decision yes but allegedly Worky were given the option to restage and declined ! The Witches were about to use a tactical when the rain intervened and "could" have clawed a couple of points back , nobody knows how it would have been come ht12 . The really strong heats for the home side would have been 13 and 15 and I have no doubt would have won comfortably ! It's just the way it panned out I'm afraid .

Doesn't really matter how it's done , I'm sure Ipswich will lose out !

I'm sure whatever prehistoric rule the powers that be dig up or invent will no doubt coincide with what Worky want out of it ! It's been a nothing going right season for the Witches from the Anglian cup opener against Rye back in March so why would now be any different ? ( cynical side of me coming out again )

Rain dance coupled with Witches magicing ( made up word ) up some dodgy weather saved the day ! Would much rather take Worky on with a full team any day but will have to wait and see what occurs with any decisions that are made on monday .

Probably one less meeting at Foxhall after tonight's visit to Worky but I see your point .

There could be some interesting twists for the play off final if the IOW fail to overturn Mildenhalls advantage in the semi . Apparently Dudley want the first leg of the final at home leaving The Tigers with only the 31st Oct being available as a date for West Row . They obviously could not leave it till then so alternative tracks have been discussed with earlier dates . Foxhall perhaps ? I'm thinking the Heathens are going down this road as they want to have a lead in case the 2nd leg doesn't end up happening for whatever reason and they would win on 1st leg score ! ( and fully within their rights do so btw ) Just a theory and no doubt I will get slaughtered for my opinion !

Worky will be far too strong at home for the Witches tonight with our current team , I alas predict at least a 20pt turn round but of course I hope the lads will prove me wrong ! Please .

One would suggest that if the bspa have ruled that Josh was entitled to ride that he WAS redeclared and just maybe someone forgot to update the list ! Otherwise why would they have made that decision ?

It's all Dudleys fault ;-)

Thanks for clarifying . One would now say it's been 3 days since the event so why is there not an answer yet ? Another case of the authorities taking their time to make up rules and regulations to suit which side they got out of bed this morning perhaps ?

Surely if the rules state that no more changes to lineups can be made after said date unless rider is returning from injury this whole debate is irrelevant ? After all , Josh was just coming back into the team as he is entitled to do !

So with myself not being a rule boffin in any way shape or form does this mean it was fully in the rules to bring Josh back or not ?

Cracking result for the Tigers , would have been a bit closer had it not have been for the nasty crash Byron had ( hope he's ok and had has a speedy recovery ) Every team member did well and chipped in on the scoring ! It should now be in Mildenhalls hands now and if they give up a 28pt lead then they don't deserve the cup ! Well done today lads !

A good transvestite ??? I don't like him but that's a bit harsh !

Yup agree , Pedersen should definitely been excluded !

Get in there !!! Well done Chris and nice to see a new World champion !!!

I still don't understand why Pedersen laid his bike down in the semi when he had half a chance of winning the race , beats me why he did it ! Lucky to be in the rerun after giving Chris nowhere to go and falling off ! Took Lindback out as well , just dirty ! Shocking refereeing to allow him in the rerun .

ABP , ABP PLEASE ABP !!! That's , Anyone but Pedersen !!! His finger wagging when he is clearly at fault for a crash constantly winds everyone up and he doesn't like it when someone is hard on him ! COME ON CHRIS !!!

A good meeting with some decent racing ! More than happy with the 20pt lead although could have been more or less with the 2nd bend issues . As said by others this tie is far from over and if the Monarchs do overturn it they will have earned the place in the final the hard way ! On the crowd front , it was lower than I expected for a semi final ( Must be us southern softies don't like the cold at this time of year ! )

Would like to think a half decent lead could be achieved tonight but let's be honest the Witches have been a complete enigma this season ! So much promise but very little actually achieved . Could be a feisty affair after the recent meetings between the clubs so bring it on !

If these lineups are correct it should be an interesting meeting ! Hope Josh Bates has not come back to early as this is not the meeting to be a tester for him ! Maybe he's had some laps somewhere and feels good ? Looking forward to it already .

My personal opinion is it's an expensive sport to go and watch these days ! Realistically it works out about a pound a minute of racing and that puts it in the realms of being one of the most expensive sports around ! It's one of the reasons for falling attendances I'm sure and quite a heavily debated topic in various places on this forum . Opinions ???

According to Witches website Craig Cook is riding on thursday , is he or isn't he ?

A good couple of meetings , fantastic value for money and a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and evening ! Whoever Adam Ellis signs for they will do well to get him as I can see him doing what Cam did last year and end up going straight from reserve to possibly a no1 without a stop in the middle . On a slight downer as far as Mildenhall winning silverware is concerned , I believe the current reserve partnership could possibly end up costing them these trophies . Lets be honest the IOW team is not the strongest in the league and still Gareth and Ryan only managed 9pts between them in the 2 meetings combined . This really isn't enough to overcome the likes of Dudley over 2 legged competitions , I hope I'm wrong ! Don't suppose there's any chance of Adam Ellis guesting next Sunday ? Just a pipedream !
