Really - I think pigeon food had soared in price recently

I suppose you need to take my comments in the knowledge I have never been a Crump fan - indeed he once scored an 18 point max guesting for the Witches and I didnt cheer at all Even in his prime I wouldn't have been too fussed about him becoming a Witch such is my indifference to him - I just have just never warmed to him (admittedly this is partly due to him being the arch rival No1 who scored countless points against us) Now that's not to say I didnt or dont appreciate his talent. Infact despite my general view I would class him in the top 5-10 riders of all time However after 8 years retired following what was significant injury I dont see that he will be anywhere near the level some are predicting He looked decent in the WA matches and will through his natural talent and undoubted professionalism hold his own in this years PL but somewhere around 6 points will be it IMO His influence on others could be a great positive for the team and cant be underestimated. His commentary and punditry is excellent and insightful. His experience and knowledge is 2nd to none His signing is probably bigger for the league as a whole than it is for the Witches in particular and will generate significant interest which is much needed It will be strange and initially difficult for me to cheer him but at the end of the day he is now a Witch and therefore he will get my unreserved support. You never know I may even learn to like him

IMO Crump has 8 meetings - if he is not cutting by then he has to be replaced I'm not convinced he will get above 6 and also not convinced we will make the change even if he doesnt

I'm absolutely delighted to see Drew wear the Witch that's the silver lining for me

Good night everyone - dont Tai yourselves up in knots fretting over which Dude will fill the last spot. Dont be grumpy if its Crumpy and dont smile too much if its the Grin And Geoff you know what they Za gar forth and multiply Once a Witch always a Witch - bring it on whomever it may be

Would be a huge risk and as much as I like to get one over the Pussycats I think they would have the last laugh on this one if we did Unfortunately seems to be the case with Holder who no doubt is/was first choice

Edited for accuracy

In which case he should be an 11 now I say that partly in jest but there were rumours only a couple of years ago that Ipswich asked what Chris Louis would be reassessed to and received the answer that he wouldn't

The best ones to watch

That bloke in YB looked a bit handy

He did enough to be considered. Not sure its allowed to rude in all 3 leagues anymore though Considering he moved straight into the main body of the team and managed to stay there ahead of the lauded non Brits I'd say he did OK Looked really good in Oz over the winter too. I feel he he kick on and compete if given the chance

Completely shocked - RIP Danny

Didnt Kolodezji lodge in Ipswich when he last rode in the UK..

Perhaps it's not ideal but it's hardly a great issue really. A team will come to the tapes in late March in splendid Witches/Tru colours and do us proud - that's what matter surely......

Sometimes you need to respect the confidences of the other party providing information OK you could say dont post anything in that case but where would the forum be then? If only the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth was posted on here we may well still find ourselves on page1

But Drew's not a No1 either

You were being far too kind then

The club , the team or the fixtures??

All good fun this isnt it

Nah - Zagar

Not only on track experience but also a good life lesson being away from home and taking care of themselves and their equipment No doubt there has also been plenty of 'holiday' time too but valuable none the less

Sounds discriminatory to me...

You would think he would be hot property then....

Time to move on though - the past is the past
