Lets hope the usual first meeting jinx we seem to cop most years hasnt struck again

Im hoping this is just down to it being a challenge slotted in as an extra after other plans were already in place If it becomes a more regular occurence it wont go down well and cant be defended in the way it can for these season opening practice matches

Thanks for the clarification -Disappointing whatever the reason Relatively impressed with the set up aside from the tractor which didnt seem man enough for the purpose

Ive not said he was

We did actually comment on that between ourselves

Bomber was simply terrific tonight for the Witches tonight at Leicester Thanks very much Buster

Yes thank you very much - he was rather good 2 sublime passes that you really wouldnt have thought possible

Decent solid performance tonight with promising rides from every rider Bomber was a class apart with a couple of sublime passes (even more commendable given the track) Impressed with Jake and Cam generally and Richard finished strongly Danny seemed a little subdued but thats not unexpected David had a tough start but had a encouraging race win Drew didnt look totally comfortable but scored well and great to see him with a Witch on his chest Only slight disappointment was the lack of any victory parade. Quite a number of Witches fans had travelled and deserved some acknowledgement Nice to start with a win and I can see this being a team worth watching Get yourself down to Foxhall good people and give it a look

Thanks for the victory parade

Good idea - You may knock some sense into it

I refer you to paragraph 2 then

When do the lights go on??

Drew is Ipswich born and bred and an Ipswich asset - Witches fans see him of one of us and would never be regarded as a guest Also its an inter league challenge where these types of tweaks are often made anyway to even things up

Drew Kemp guests for Ipswich on Saturday night

Its been a long long closed season for Ipswich fans Looking forward to a first visit to Leicester on a mini Massif road trip Up the Witches!

Now confirmed that Drew takes the place of KP in the challenge at Leicester http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.31340.1

Ah thats reminded me of the time where when trying to leave a busy stadium that Sal picked his line of traffic only to find others going past him either side Yes he literally couldnt pass a parked car

To be fair in type you cant tell if there was a breath in the middle to separate them

RIP John

Those colours still stand Yellow has been more noticable in recent times with the Tru link although it has often been a part anyway If you look all the individual sponsors on the Witches suits are in white so more consistentcy (KP aside )

Someone has to be bottom Of course a team towards the top will be more attractive than one lower down due to it being natural to want to link to success and greater TV exposure etc I stand by the claim that higher profile sponsors would expect that type of professional set up rather than a rag bag of different coloured suits and bibs with different sized and style detachable numbers etc

Yep - that would certainly help

Lets hope all 3 teams see regular features on Look East through the season that help boost the crowds and add to the atmosphere - make matches places that people get a buzz from and want to return for

And IMO this is the major point Yes it is extra expense and yes you dont win because of a fancy suit and covers BUT any future upturn in the sport will be down to attracting quality higher profile sponsors They would only want to showcase themselves is this kind of professional manner

Ipswich taking it one step further Not only matching race suit but fully co-ordinated bike covers also
