Toss up between Panthers & Witches to finish 2nd behind Tigers... Doyle, King & Batchelor > MPT, Harris & Nicholls was easy.

Witches will be battling to finish in front of the stars ,battle for the spoon ,hope it’s early days,one rider won’t win the cup

It’s still early days but Thursdays match at Lynn is an important one for the Witches.

I see that a Trainee Referee ran the meeting, who was supposed to take charge?

I'm not sure any speedway meeting is particularly important let alone an early season league Cup warm up....

Lol, that probably explains why you haven’t won anything for decades.

Indeed, one Div 2 trophy in 24 years, that’s impressive.

And the fours,,,, but yes it's a pretty pathetic tally over the last 22 years

Hasn’t always been the case, but in recent seasons we can’t use lack of resources for failing either. We’re backed well by Guy Nicholls, we apparently paid a kings ransom to Crump, have stumped up the cash for Doyle this year and by all accounts blew Belle Vue out of the water to pinch Batch at the 11th hour. Not sure there’s a better backed club in the top flight at the moment. If we continue the trophy drought, then Louis has to take the blame because he’s the one who builds the teams it’s as simple as that really. 
 

Haven’t landed a major trophy on his watch to date in either league, poor record.

Did anyone ever think that would work out ? Probably one of the most bizzare decisions he has ever made...

Nope, certainly not on the average he was coming in on that’s for certain. Just ran out of ideas in the end and they were alerted to his availability when it looked like he was going to Peterborough.

I actually think he would've fitted in perfectly with Dad's Army
