Bash

The one decision the ref did get wrong was not excluding Newman in heat 12. He pulled a locker which forced his back wheel into hitting Jody Scott, not a case of first bend bunching.

Think this was the reason not on terrestial tv as I think they know the teams are so mismatched this year and wouldn't be good viewing to promote the sport. Not an unexpected result and don't expect to see many passes next week in the return leg watched by one man and his dog as it's a forgone conclusion. Belle Vue were always going to win it this year and only injuries would stop them, but they got a more than adequate replacement in Doyle for Bewley.

I'd rather have Musielak than what a lot of people on here are putting in Woryna. He is an accident waiting to happen on the tighter British tracks.

They had Lewis Kerr on standby if Nicholls didn't make it

He looked like he was being dragged by Paul Hurry to collect his medal after the rest of the team were taken on the truck, he was also the first to come back to the pits on his own.

We can always hope Drew has a meeting like he did at Poole tonight

Welcome Dan Bewley

Wonder if Stewart Dickson is already at Foxhall trying to hijack the tractor 😀

Think Lemo cost you that meeting by putting Cook in heat 13, when all he had done was get a lucky win in the rerun of heat 3 after Morris fell with Cook was at the back in the original staging. Should have put Kildemand in instead, or like someone else said used Kildemand earlier and put Blodorn in heat 13.

The preview on bspa site says if fit, so have you seen somewhere else that he is definitely back tonight?

There is nothing on the Ipswich preview but just read on the Sheffield website that he is injured

Why have we got a rising star in Will Cairns replacing Kevin Juhl Pedersen at 6, didn't exactly go that well when BV were here a few weeks ago.

Don't the stocks run on the tarmac track, so why would the speedway track have clay in it

Where did you hear that Siggy, always thought it was a strange choice for team manager, doesn't seem to be the motivator you need to get the team going. Maybe if Scotty does retire he could take it over next season.

Think we will do well to hit 40 tonight, with Palm-Toft nowhere near what Danny would score, Kevin Juul Pedersen never even been to Foxhall before and Jason struggling a bit at the moment. The other three will need to hit big double figure scores. I hope I'm wrong but just can't see a Witches victory, but I will be there to cheer them on
