Bridger to date hasnt appeared to have the application to match his talent. This year it does seem he has found more focus and improved vastly on the types of tracks outside his comfort zone. I think he can feel a bit hard done by to have been overlooked.

Looks like it was moved to start the LCSF thread.

As all you guys are too modest to do so I will do it for you - Diamonds by 20+

Better make sure we win good and proper then!

I think it will be tight - if there is not much in it early on then it will be tense. If we start strong and build a lead then the double bubble kicks in and that may well make it tight again and therefore tense. I dont expect there to be more than 4 points in it at the end on agg so will plump for a last heat decider with the Witches edging it.

Very happy with that result - all to play for and anyones guess as to who will go through. The most important result may be how serious Bens injury is though - fingers crossed. With regard to the riding order I have said before that perhaps Rohan should be at 5 .

and maybe Michael from Middlesborough!! Wink!

Its the only one now - the others are locked away in the mods toy box!!

5 mins on the naughty step for you and all the rest of us it seems!

Im hoping the Witches can stay within 8 to set up a humdinger of a second leg. I think both these sides will have a major say in the shake up for the big prize at the end of the season so it should be cracking tie. Up the Witches!!

See nothing to worry about - a stroll in the (Brough) Park now!

Very happy with a point and to be so close with my prediction. Anyone got the detail of Summers 'silencer issue' - is it something that just affects the last heat or could it expand to the whole meeting? Best wishes to Dyer - sounds like it was some effort for him to get through 3 heats (and do so well)before having to call it a day.

Im all for caution and respect for the opposition etc etc but many Diamonds fans seem happy with 35 points! Thats caution on the scale of an orphaned puppy left on the doorstep of the local Korean takeaway!

Very low key Diamonds fans on this thread considering most neutrals would predict a win for them by 10+.

Only if he drinks Pepsi.

Hoping the Witches can continue their run of points from every away PL fixture this year. I think it will be tight - so tight infact that I'll go for a draw.

At Cannock Chase watching Blondie tonight so I have been ' hanging on the telephone' WOOP! WOOP!

Ipswich team manager Pete Simmons has targeted a point from thus one - most Witches fans will be disappointed if its not 3 or even 4. Hope its a good un and Im going for the Witches to win by 8.

Ive heardChris consistently refuses to have his head shaved for charity.......to avoid revealing his 666 birthmark!!

Just been able to see this meeting on dvd. A really competitive ckash with a draw a fair result. With regard to the 2 major incidents Mortens pass was far and clean IMO. I dont see that he was rushing in too fast - just a classic block pass. Ritchie was perhaps a bit naughty but I doubt any referee would exclude. Ritchie was always in front and there was little or no contact (accepting that was due to Lewis sensibly backing off) Hopefully there will be chance to see some more of these two sides in opposition in the LC or play off finals.

My guess re Ritchie would be that he had pre standing commitments (the very reason he was reluctant to put pen to paper full time). Id imagine last night was part of the compromise agreed when he signed for the season.

The scoreline would normally make you think this was a bit of a procession but it was far from it. An excellent nights racing with the highlights of superb last bend outside passes by Morten and Leigh.How long have we waited for a home full max from our No1? Finally the wait is over. A max for Rohan and a paid max for Cam too so all in all a good job done.

Thanks for that - didnt think to look anywhere other than the forthcoming fuxtures on the right!Good to see although as usual nothing in the main news section. The only worrying part is that my thinking was the same as theBSPA! Thank you - it seems the Monarchs news machine is way ahead of everywhere else.Why would that be!? Wink!

Are there two websites? Just clicked in and still stated as PL fixture on mine!!

Still no news of any dates. The PL home and away fixtures for Witches/Monarchs are set for July. Should these be switched to act as the semi finals or the result count for both perhaps?
