Nice to see John Campbell conveniently forgetting Clegg's roller in ht2 when he is slamming the ref for King's in the final. Clegg's turned a 5-0 into a 3-3!

Manzares will not be allowed back due to Visa so we can discount him

Figured I would start this as I wanted to ask a question. Rye website says 7pm. Is that gates/parade/1st race? Witches missing Stefan due to U21 call up; guest TBC Rockets R/R for NBJ due to U21/injury

Anyone that attended able to give their view on the Covatti crash? Speedway updates and the Witches website seem to be pointing the finger at Ostergaard for "dangerous" riding.. Legit claim or residual feelings from the Tungate situation?

Has anyone been able to find any footage of this?

The problem is more general as we are dropping a lot of points at home; not just this match

Doesn't sound too pretty... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-33126297 Hope everyone is ok.

Changing my Russian picks to: Renat Gafurov Andrei Kudriashov

I won't be around later so will take a chance on these being correct

Mike Bacon Yes @ipswichspeedway fans super Witches poster in today's Ipswich Star paper @Stephen_Waller + Louis on Witches and the Elite League Anything interesting in the article? I am not in Ipswich (despite the name..) so don't get the Star

7pm on the website, is that gates open/parade/tapes up? Haven't been to an evening Rye House meet for a while

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anQqhI8t-pU&feature=youtu.be Witches "Taster" video, 4 return, 3 join, team is obviously set then..

Taken from the Somerset & Scunny websites. 25/09 – Ipswich Vs Scunny 02/10 – Ipswich Vs Somerset 03/10 – Ipswich @ Scunny 10/10 – Ipswich @ Somerset Witches currently says Somerset on the 25th.....? and nothing else.

More likely training/analysis; more and more common across sport in general and I have seen a few riders using GoPros. I think Gino had one on a few weeks back? Alternatively it can be used to point out refereeing discrepancies as seen in the "Bizarre Exclusions" thread on the general board.

There seemed to be a lot of "quick" gates last night; many of which were so good that I was surprised that they weren't called back. Refreshing to see the referee letting them get on with it, but doesn't say too much for consistency amongst officials as I am sure many would have called some of them back.

There's also a minor note added to the match preview on the website

Haven't been able to hear anything all season in the stands on the back straight... The speakers on the flagpoles need to be moved higher up to compensate for the now elevated viewing position. I emailed the promotion after the 2nd meeting and was advised that it is being looked at but nothing has happened as yet....

People often question what happened to the cash injection that Sky coverage was supposed to provide. A nice big Simpsons-esque. sun blocker sounds like a good idea...

How come?

Agreed, great community of speedway fans to be apart of also.

The only difference is that the US "extra" matches are not picked or done by geography but are based on a rotation over X amount of years so that you play all opponents over the course of the rotation; thus removing the bias that others are referring to here. Whether you end up playing easier teams or harder teams is then based on luck of the draw and is the same for all.

7th April then, per todays fixture release

Fixtures are on BSPA site, Panthers double header on Good Friday; looks like 2nd leg is away.
