sommelier 1,118 Posted March 17, 2015 no he hasn't done lately, can't say I saw him at all last season like the colours better than last year. Interestingly all the covers bar Nico had 1 or 2 on so no giving away riding order yet lol Ok Badge, thanks for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcat 21 Posted March 18, 2015 What's happened to some of the regular Ipswich contributors on this forum in recent times? I know Badge still hovers and posts every now and again but nowhere near enough as she used to, and there are plenty of others. LW, Ipswich Jules, Bailey's hat, MissingOut/Robyn, Boxer, Broomstick, tomcat, Presenter, even Lovey/Had Enough has disappeared again. A few only used to post sporadically but a few were regular posters but we haven't heard from any of them in yonks! Would be interesting to know whether it's a case of losing interest in the sport, losing patience with the forum nowadays or simply being far to busy these days to contribute. Most importantly, hope you're all still alive and well! Hi Bloomy, I'm still about, just lost interest in speedway at Foxhall, due mainly to the cold reception I and my family received upon our return from living in Northern Ireland. I still have a read on here from time to time and catch meetings on Sky and EuroSport, but I am ultra busy, having qualified as a Suffolk County FA referee in 2013, at the ripe old age of 49. In fact I am about to embark on my third successive weekend of 4 full games, two each day, plus I have been selected for various prestigious games, like a County FA Sunday Cup Semi Final this past Sunday and tonight, Wednesday, I have a League Representative game under lights at Walsham Le Willow FC's ground. I also managed four successive promotions in a season and a half, now being a Level 6 referee and enjoying every minute. Next Season I am attempting my Level 5, which will mean that I can then referee at SIL Senior Level on a Saturday and also referee up to the Ryman and Isthmean(sp) League level too. I hope that the Witches have a safe and successful season and they win some silverware in 2015. Also Best Wishes to ALL Witches fans and speedway fans in general. Have a good one guys and gals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spiegal 294 Posted March 19, 2015 Sadly a nasty painful; 1st turn gutser for Ritchie Hawkins at Foxhall tonight. Not a good start for the lad, said to be a couple broken ribs..very painful. Nice re-union of all the old boys from 1970/80's....good to catch up with Shrimp Davey, a young looking Kevin jolly, Colin Cook, Tim Hunt, Ron Bagley, Preben Erickson, Alajn Sage, Carl Baldwin, Ted Howgego,Mick & Andy Hines....a wonderful turnout to mark Billy Sanders tribute. A fine night of great memories and laughter...and teh many years we were one big family....10 years of wonderful fun, time doesn't erase teh memory. Thank you Chris & Julie Louis..JL and Peter Thorpe....such a happy evening with such sad memories of Bill. James Easter 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 19, 2015 Ritchie has indeed broken a rib or two. Likely to be out for a couple of weeks - but you never know with these speedway boys!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 19, 2015 Blimey that's roynon and Hawkins failing to make a lap before getting injured with broken ribs. Did anyone actually see what happened? All I saw was him and his bike flying through the air Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted March 19, 2015 Was I the only one who thought the other Witches were not exactly busting a gut after Richies crash? Maybe Chris had a quiet word knowing he had lost the skipper didn't really want anyone else in the wars. Main plus for me tonight was Cam Blimey that's roynon and Hawkins failing to make a lap before getting injured with broken ribs. Did anyone actually see what happened? All I saw was him and his bike flying through the airright in front of me but not sure had to be a chain or a seized engine as he stopped dead and flew through the air Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 19, 2015 It looked like a couple of ex witches not busting a gut either. I thought cam was okay, and nico looks like he should definitely beat other reserves rohan also practicing his tape breaking technique before the season gets going. I'm sure fuel taps Bro will know if anything went wrong with Ritchie bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 19, 2015 It looked like it, took a few fence panels down, luckily he got off it just in time or could really have been nasty. Do you know if he is okay ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
