Paulco 7,120 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) So after the hilarity of England's World Cup exit , we can get back to the speedway again . And it's a wee toughie this Sunday . The only side to face the smug steamroller and not lose , the Witches of Ippo . Led by the now lesser Worrall and ably backed up by messers Tungate and Risager . How their American will do on our track is anybodies guess , but their lower order of Heeps , Ellis and Hawkins could be troublesome . We will be heartened by last week's performance and have Edinburgh's Aaron Fox as this week's guest reserve ( he's only Samantha when riding for the smugs ) This will be the third meeting in three days for both teams , so i hope these line-ups make it to the tapes . Glasgow 1 Kevin Wolbert 2 Christian Henry 3 Anders Thomsen 4 Theo Pijper 5 Rusty Harrison 6 Kasper Lykke 7 Aaron Fox Ipswich 1 Richie Worrall 2 Cameron Heeps 3 Morten Risager 4 Gino Manzares 5 Rohan Tungate 6 Adam Ellis 7 Richie Hawkins Hard meeting to predict . Ipswich came up here last year and battered us , but we were an embarrassment last year and we have shown some improvement . But the Witches are in form at the minute and this one could go either way Edited June 20, 2014 by Paulco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Blue 616 Posted June 21, 2014 Well we did appear to be coming into some sort of form before our visit to Scunny but our legendary inconsistency doesn't bode well for the weekend visits to Worky and yourselves ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted June 21, 2014 Who knows what the Witches might do? Anything from a 20 point defeat to a 20 point win is possible from this team at present. Eenie meenie minie mo - draw!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's any consolation we are just as inconsistent were just not as good at it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted June 21, 2014 Like all other witches fans, I could easily see a win here, or another battering, much like last season's visits to dp, one hammering and one win How did we go at Glasgow last season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won pretty easily last season but we were pretty awful last year for all off the season will be pretty tight tomorrow to close to call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunday 25th August 2013 Glasgow 36 - Grieves 11 Jacobs 6+3 Bager 6 Lemon (g) 6 North 5+1 Ringwood 2 Thomsen 0 Ipswich 56 - Barker 13 Heeps 10+4 Lanham 10 Tungate 9+1 Ellis 6 Hawkins 5+2 Risager 3 So as you can see , a bit of a slaughter . But that was then , this is now . Tomorrow's forecast is favourable and i think this has all the makings of a very tight , entertaining encounter . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that was then , this is now . Tomorrow's forecast is favourable and i think this has all the makings of a very tight , entertaining encounter . If our "number 1" matches Barkers 13 tomorrow I'll run a lap of Foxhall pre meeting Thursday in my birthday suit! You won't see paid 14 from Heeps this year either it's really sad to see the lad struggle so badly after having such a promising year last year. I do think we'll win tomorrow, and that's because I think our reserve pairing is a lot stronger than Glasgow's and that will see us through. Possibly.

TheScotsman 2,484 Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks Paulco. Interesting to see Hawkins can make it to Scotland - must just be the east(ish) side he can't get to!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,120 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks Paulco. Interesting to see Hawkins can make it to Scotland - must just be the east(ish) side he can't get to!! I watched him ride Armadale ( or try too ) for Somerset a few years back . His bike looked to be far too powerful for the track as when he got to the bends it was Bambi on ice stuff . Maybe it's just Armadaleitus with him . Plus in his career he's ridden for Berwick , Workington , Somerset and Sheffield - not a small track rider Edited June 21, 2014 by Paulco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted June 21, 2014 Heads up for Chris Louis. Chris, save yourself some travel costs tomorrow and only send up half your team. It's all you'll need! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is knowing which half to send - they can all score 2 or 10 on any given night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
