Just seen that of Facebook what a great offer for the fans .

Ok probably slightly dumb of me to think this but didn't realize each track has there own way of a parade for the riders , then again each track is different in its own way . Maybe we are lucky down at Ipswich and we have the Stock car track on the outside of the speedway track and this is used for the parade before the meeting , the away team ride round the stock car track giving a few waves to the crowd then followed by the home team before each team lines up on the center green to be introduced to the crowd one by one that is when the wind is blowing in the right direction and you can understand what the presenter is saying over the mic .

But what would we do with ourselves if we didn't spend all that time waiting for wives, girlfriends to change their minds ? We may be a simple breed but at least it keeps us on our toes !

Ipswich 'Sackers' Witches 1. Danny King 9.26, 2. Gino Manzares 5.62, 3. Nico Covatti 5.05, 4. R/R (Cameron Heeps - broken wrist), 5. Rohan Tungate 8.51, 6. Stefan Nielsen 3.61, 7. Ritchie Hawkins © 4.95 Team manager: Phil Hilton Berwick ‘K Dixon Building Services’ Bandits 1 Ben Barker 8.04, 2 Hynek Stichauer 4.56, 3 Kevin Doolan © 6.89, 4 Thomas Jorgensen 7.35, 5 Claus Vissing 7.24, 6 Dan HAlsey (G), 7 Richard Hall ® 4.28 Team manager: John Anderson You would like to think they would win by more than 4 , same old story Heeps missing makes us stronger at home with the way his scores have been at foxhall this year but Gino on just coming back from injury might need a few meetings to get up to speed . Think Witches will win by 10 to take the tie overall

Seems like ages since had any speedway at Foxhall . With only a 4 point lead being brought to foxhall by the Bandits surely the Witches should have enough firepower at home to win the Home Leg and overall to go through to the next round .

Anyone at the track who can tell us how its holding up just in case this rain does stop ?

Steady constant rain now in the area think we are just waiting for the call off now

Wasn't the Rye House call off blamed that there was too much water already on the track from rain the days leading up to it ? Same on their Facebook page

Seems to be stop start where i am wouldn't like to call this one at the moment . I would take it the riders and supporters would be well on the way now anyway .

Down in Claydon other side of town but yes few drops appearing now

Just seen exactly the same as Super Blue looking like a rather wet Thurs

When's Gino due to be back ?

No Coventry or Bell Vue matches that night so hopefully full team that is if all our riders are fit to race .

Happy with that result

Hit the nail on the head Tigers were very good value for the win .

Think the forums would have gone into meltdown if it had been up , not alot of happy Witches fans yesterday afternoon . Alot of comments of the match update site about the team , management and mostly about the referee and some very strange decisions.

What the hell are we gonna do from Monday when we can't call on Covatti as a reserve to come in and bail us out .

With Danny's average from May 1st being 9.26 i take it gives us alot more scope of the guest we can use when Danny is not available to ride for us ? If i'm reading the averages right if we had to use a guest to cover Danny we could use anyone in the league apart from Stead who as we all know is currently injured ,

Do you think there is any chance in the future with Ritchie and Gino swapping . Some big scores for Ritchie while Gino still finding his feet again or is the points average too much to turn around ?

Ah good point baldyman didn't think of that , and most probable the Devils will be back on form at their own track just to make things even harder .

Edberg mmmm did look way our of his depth and Branford yes agree with you on that one he did try hard for his points . Jakobsen liked the look of the lad , was quick and for the 1st time at Foxhall a very good show . Wasn't the greatest of meetings in my eyes looked like quite a few riders took a while to get dialed into the track and that includes a couple of the home boys . Think Kennetts gate in heat 13 shocked the hell out of King , the tapes went up and he was gone Danny got no where near him . Another strong performance from our reserves again . Think Branford is a Edinburgh reserve and Rye House National rider

Well can't fault them for being prepared hell of a long way to go only to get turned around . Forecast has looked crap all week long and might mean we have Danny King available for when its re planned for .

Bloody hell they didn't waste any time calling this off , ok forecast does look crap but it has been known to be wrong

Another max for Covatti would be nice

Used to work in a warehouse that stored Red bull same stuff different name on it in my eyes all tastes like crap if you ask me , but what i'm trying to say is what we were told by the people we stored it for if a can had even the slightest little mark or dent in it we were to throw it away . Strange maybe but we were told that inside the can was a film covering the can and if this film was broken the liquid in time would start the break down the metal can , and people still drink this stuff . No wonder people get things like heartburn from drinking these kind of drinks i wont touch them myself
