not sure if its by choice. It could be that the thought is to build a lead to defend and put pressure on the opposition. Could just be logistics of dates and race nights. Newcastle are gonna struggle to promote the 2nd leg of the semi - imagine that from the angle of the final on a cold wet end of October night and being 20+ points down from a first leg away.

Shame for us Witches fans that were hoping to see Danny at Foxhall in the final albeit against us. Well done to the Monarchs - see you on Thursday!

Well done to the Rebels - good luck in the final. So near and yet so far for the Witches. Probably a much better effort than many expected tonight. Best wishes to Gino and Pontus.

doing something different if plan A isnt working /thinking about the best way to attack things rather than reverting to type. Best of luck boys. Just have no regrets.

and when would that ever happen in Speedway? wink

expect them all to be there and scrapping for every point then!It will be a major achievement to get the result needed but so long as the boys give it their all I ask no more. Up the Witches!

that would have to be some session - a whole pool of water and still unable to re-hydrate!

how much of the cash from a speedway actually makes it to a bank account?

good to see although at first glance I thought it mustve been a picture from Wimbourne Road! wink

Or rain and no dates before a realistic cut off - its happened before!

That's a shame - despite the score I may have been tempted by this one.

I had a quick look on the Scunny website but couldn't find any mention.

Edinburgh to win by at least 20.

I think that would be potential suicide if anything remotely like the current EL set up remains.

I agree it was certainly an error of judgement for Rohan to have made those comments early in the season. I think he was probably feeling a bit down at having missed out on an Elite place and perhaps doubting himself because of it. The saying is that honesty is the best policy. Well that doesn't seem to be the case here!! Had he have said he was having some struggles and was confident he would get it right soon and then gone on to have the season he has it is likely all would be a lot rosier with peoples opinions of him. The point that he has achieved it not at number 1 could be valid but then look at his scores in his meetings since and he has done just as well.Perhaps being a number one is the 'motivation' he needs to kick on. The quirk of Speedway is that any rider that improves is automatically at risk for the next year due to the points limit and questions over further improvement. Conversely have a poor year and you can become a 'hot property' and be in demand as many will know you can do better.

One last chance for redemption then BM!

I will reserve comment until afer Sonerset and the KOCup final.

Dont expect anyone to give the Witches a hope. Somerset should walk it but until it over theres always that chance!

Fair enough BM - updates stated EF while leading.

Its just gone a bit downhill within the last half hour!

sounds like a frustating nights watching for you Baldyman.Very disappointed that we fell just short. Rohan EF in 13 cost us a point although I dont think that wouldve been enough anyway given the race point position. Dont think anyone will give us a prayer at Somerset. Definitely the Rebels to lose now! Witches progress now would take a miracle of huge proportions.

ageeed - which is why its not just a case of the Witches turning up and walking away with the points needed. We really will have to work hard for it and will throughly deserve it IF we pull it off. Good luck to Morten coming back tonight. Think we need two big scorers and then a sold back up to do it. Something like 11,10,6,6,4,4,4 will do nicely.

but in Howe Auty and Jorgensen they have 3 that could go through the card and win the meeting if the Witches are not set up and on the pace grom the outset.Id be very happy for the Witches to go into heat 15 still in with a shout. That would be some effort in itself and there of course anything could happen.

it may seem like that but there been a few times weve had about 7 points after 5 heats at Scunny! I really dont expect that to happen tomorrow but.....

Come on boys you can do this! Need a solid start to build on. First priority is not to be out if it after the first 5 heats. Up the Witches.
