  1. No rain forecast on any weather report I can see. Good luck Witches time to put some silverware in the cabinet! Most of all hope for a big crowd, great atmosphere and some good racing.
  2. I understand it will bother some people, to me personally I couldnt care less who it is. Ideally Rory would be lining up on Thursday but hes injured and we need a guest. To me its 5 Witches and a.n other/guest used to do a job for our injured rider. For me its irrelevant who that is. Like I say I understand Ill be in the minority here.
  3. Nicholls isnt a contracted Peterborough rider though nor a Witches rider. Guests are a necessity unfortunately and both clubs have needed one. Does it really matter who that guest is? Not really. The Peterborough team does have a look of throwing in the towel a bit which is a shame. Is there seriously nobody half decent available they could have brought in? Not convinced an awful lot of effort was made tbh.
  4. So Nicholls guests FOR the Witches this time in place of Schlein. Get the Brasso out Chris!
  5. Holder was pretty good on his last Foxhall visit if I remember rightly? Bit optimistic for Rory to be fit for Thursday with a badly sprained ankle? Maybe if its well strapped he maybe ok well have to see. If hes out well need a good guest to cover his Foxhall scoring power. Or would it be a guest for Sedgman and R/R for Schlein? Edit: I have no idea why my apostrophes are not working! My iPhone emojis dont display either yet I can see them from others..
  6. Yet again when Lady Luck hasn’t been with us (story of our bloody season!) we’ve battled away right til the end. Full credit to the lads. I may be biased of course but those riders deserve something out of this season for their efforts all season.
  7. Second leg on Thursday at Foxhall. Ipswich set to include @RorySchlein3 and @KyleNewman91 both back from injury #boomping Tweet from Mike Bacon. That’s a nice bonus!
  8. We at Ipswich have the same dilemma. Weve been a Thursday night track ever since we were formed so a big decision by the promotion. Even though weve still had more Thursday meetings than any other day, weve had quite a number of home meetings this year on off nights and the attendance hasnt visibly suffered. The jungle drums has us moving back up though so time will tell. Will be interesting to see which way Sheffield decide to go too.
  9. Blessing in disguise as King is currently struggling with illness which in turn is affecting his performances as he acknowledged last night. Gives him another week to get fit and healthy.
  10. Or he couldn’t be arsed riding for the club from the day he signed, RESULTING in the supporters not wanting him to ride for us. If you look back at the time he signed, plenty (including myself) thought he was a decent replacement for Covatti. Oh how wrong we were! Only so many times you can watch a rider miss the gate and blatantly give up and coast for 4 laps before it starts to grate..
  11. Christ almighty! Time of the month dear? Of course its irrelevant unless youre trying to say that wearing individual leathers was a factor in Speedway booming in those days ? By the way havent you got some ironing to be getting on with? Yep definitely Andy.
  12. Whether Speedway was booming back then or not is totally irrelevant to what was being discussed.
  13. Deserved as well, he’s been brilliant. Heeps must have been a close second though as he’s really upped his game and had a brilliant year too.
  14. Schlein out for the rest of the season. Just one last kick in the nuts for the Witches before the winter. When its not your year, its not your year! Glad its almost over.
  15. Totally agree what’s the issue here? Hand over the money you received Ged to pay the fine. He’s not going to be out of pocket is he? Agree on the second point too, probably should have been more!
  16. Well done Sheffield the best team in the league and fully deserved.
  17. Quite right Badge was going to say something similar. They get plenty out on Twitter.
