It was the only sensible solution. Not ideal but need to get things finished

Do get your facts right - this is the KOC and all races in all rounds were completed.Face facts you just werent good enough!!

I agree that the track is the place to decide any tie.In this case though the only scoreline that wasnt an assumption was the aggregate at the point it was called off. If a restaging was possible then that would have been the right first call. It wasnt hence the decision made. My point was that it was assumed by many that the Comets would have outscored the Witches in those last heats(myself included) The same assumptions were there at heat 11 against the Diamonds but it didnt happen that way! Adds some spice to next years meeting so its not all bad!

The end of this meeting saw Worky going into the last few heats as favourites to win on agg. Just goes to show you cant assume how races might go and that it was right to call the result against the Witches as it stood.

Fingers crossed for some good weather to allow what could be a real cracker of a meeting to go ahead in conditions befitting a final. Two sides that were bulit very differently at the start of the season but now have a very similar look to them and are therefore very evenly matched. I think a lot will depend on which top2 perform better away from home or the top reserve having a stormer. Heres hoping that we see a Witches cup double after the next 8 days!!

Great news for all you Worky fans and speedway in general.

Witches v Somerset in 2nd leg of League Cup final this Thursday. The dates added to the list recently were Sat 27th and Weds 31st for final/rain off reserve date. It would make sense for it to be Sat 27th to leave Weds for a rain off of either final.

I tend to agree with all you are saying here but there is always that optimist in me to think it could still be possible?! It will take all 7 to do their bit and we cant afford the silly falls etc that we have so often seen this year. It aint over til its over!!

Impressive score from him tonight it seems. Can somebody who was there outline how he performed- was he good value for his points?

Unfortunately my 14 point prediction was right. Rebels big favourites now. Lets hope the secondleg can go ahead to get a real result whichever way it goes.

Pack away your rod and go home!!

Witches have 25th 27th and 31st on fixture calender but no scope for rained off final.

I was taking that as a given hence the need for a big win for the Witches at Sheffield. Rye 2x3 point home wins, 2 pts at Sheff and 1 at Ipswich = 9 pts Ipswich 3+2 at home, nothing at Rye plus Sheff away need 4 pts from big win = 9pts Then its down to race points.

I think the sensiblr thing would be for Rye to go through and scrap the trip to Sheffield. That said there was mention of a neutral venue for the Sheff match so you never know!

Tecnically if Ipswich win at Sheffield by about 30 they could go through on better race points difference!!

Has just been announced at Foxhall that new date being discussed and that it could be at a neutral venue!!

Perhaps Sheff results will be expunged and a simple aggregate used from Witches/Rye fixtures.If rain tonight Rye to be seeded through.

Only team to reach the final so that sounds reasonable

For once I can see the BSPA logic. The Witches had that blank Thursday where they couldnt ride at home (world stock car) so a trip to Sheff was possible.

I'll take that - with a real name of Richard you get used to the obvious option!!

Obviously a bit too clever for you with this one - you said if ..... then your name isnt.....Hence I had to give you a new one! Only joking - Im looking forward to the final whoever gets through. Both attractive opposition who have been good value entertainment at Foxhall. And for the record I agree the winners of your semi will be favourites.

Perhaps they could have let each side pick a heat in turn as to which ones were included - 9 each!!!

Bring it on Dogtanjan The Witches are ready and waiting!!

I think 3 different guests have come to Foxhall and got a max and a few more have come close so hopefully your choice will be the duff one to average it out!!

Rebels will be hot favourites even without Doyle (get well soon) Even if Fisher has an off night the lower end of the Rebels seem to be in good form. I expect a 14 win for the home team to send the Witches home with a lot to do in the 2nd leg. Would love to be wrong! Up the Witches!
