Which is fair enough as he is Swedish and riding in his home country. Wouldn't you be offended if Kennett wasn't at a meeting as was riding "abroad"? No different to what Mellgren's Swedish team would think. I'd certainly be peeved if Worrall missed a weekend match for the Witches to ride in Poland. But would depend if this fixture was rearranged or not though. Think most are assuming that the Witches will win at a canter, all i'm hoping for is a meeting like last week, But would do well to beat it!

Didn't Owen ride last time the Rockets rode at Foxhall too? Yup thats a yes, just checked and he rode at 7 scoring 0 0 0

No Mellgren, Marc Owen guests, Witches to win by at least 7 now.....

As we all are expecting an easy win for the Witches i think we will struggle!

Will things actually change over the next 5 years or will we be saying exactly the same in 2019? Too many Big fishes in a small pond and too much self interest from promoters for there to be a change.

Haven't eaten at Foxhall since the burger i bought came out of a can!

Yes Ipswich were that good! On that performance would have given any team a tough time. Like I added to previous post, just seemed to be very determined like their lives depended on it. Don't know what has been said recently but has certainly worked! Ps that goes for Adam too. Looks a totally different rider last 2 weeks, gating well, fast and looks more confident!

Great meeting. Plenty of passes and not as one sided as score suggests. Since the lull and struggle against Glasgow the team have certainly pulled together and all of them are finding some form. Track looks best it's been with a few lines and riders seem to be helping each other on track too. Long may it continue. As for Berwick. Their riders were in the mix but Witches were more determined. Wethers, Bellego and Carr were struggling but the rest had their moments and on other nights would have scored more.

Will he be allowed to ride?

So apparently Richie is currently on the A14 heading to foxhall....

Sgp website says he was on 17th July. ...

Yup the only question that needs answering is: Did he sign in for practice? Anyone know?

Indentical twin Steve to the rescue?

so the plot thickens: Andy Jaye ‏@andyjaye 29m In other news, #teamGB & team @EurosportUKTV have made the flight...we're on our way to Poland. Nigel Pearson ‏@nigelpearson 30m Good afternoon from Stansted. Great Britain's #speedway side all set for Bydgoszcz. Wish them well for Saturday! Alun Rossiter#26 ‏@AJROSCO 9m @TWoffinden @BomberHarris37 @DannyKingRacing @Simon_Stead @richieworrall Dream big boys and #Believe TEAMGBSPEEDWAY Mike Bacon ‏@Mike_Bacon 9m @richieworrall Richie is riding for Witches tomorrow but not at Somerset on Friday @lewiblack is guesting at OTA So who's telling the truth.........?

Wouldn't surprise me if he not allowed to ride for the Witches. ........

Could have Masters on Thursday but will be at Edinburgh on Friday. Ipswich normally like to book a guest for double bookings, so could be difficult with Plymouth v Sheffield and Scunthorpe v Berwick riding on friday, Also Scottish Open at Edinburgh. Plus not helped with Worrall's 7.40 ave. Other way they could do it is to use R/R for Worall at 1 and a guest for Manzares. Lewis Blackbird would be a good option and used for both matches.

Heres the rules: 18.10 FACILITIES a ) Absent #1: G or RR b ) 1 Absent Rider (2 – 5): RR c ) More than 1 Absent Rider (1 - 5) 1 x RR facility and G for all others So if Richie and Gino are missing its a guest and r/r but either way round, if only Gino is missing its r/r.

Its the time when people like yourself (speedway lemmings) start to give it a miss, that promotions need to sit up and take notice. Speedway is currently only really attacting these sorts of fans(me included) and its when we pick and choose something must be seriously wrong! You must have been to over 75% of ALL Witches matches this year, so its not as though you are a fair weather fan. However as fans have been told before by the promotion "if you don't like it, don't turn up" Looks like you doing just that! Interesting to see how the attendence is effected next week as its the World Cup race off.....

Red Blue White Yellow

Gino tweeted last night after the world under 21. "Hope its not broken" Since been deleted though. .....

Depends on how many more meetings he is going to miss due when the French Fed call him back for Long track duty? No facility allowed so only a nl guest allowed but with Captain Hawkins at reserve this would possibly not be so bad?

But you are going to go anyway regardless of any discount. So why would they lose money? Its the "normal" supporter that this offer would help but those are the one s the promotion dont care about so why bother? For me i can get to the likes of Eastbourne, Coventry, Peterborough, Rye House, Mildenhall and Kings Lynn within 2 hours but have not been to an away match in years, Why? Value for money which currently speedway does not offer, time you take into account of fuel and entry. If a season ticket for Ipswich were to offer me discount to when the Witches rode at a track eg £10 then yes it would be much better proposition.

But why would you go when your team is NOT there?

Witches point tonight was down to the ref in the end after putting the red lights on as soon as Gino fell on bend 1 in 14. Was getting to his feet and other 3 were still going down back straight. However he had earlier excluded Gino for a 2nd unsatisfactory start. Both were identical incidents. 3 riders into bend 1 at same time means rider on outside falling. Hawkins given mom, oh for a reserve of his scoring ability. Don't know what's up with Ellis and Heeps but both more than struggling. Unfair riding. Took Worrall line away bends 3/4. Worrall did well to stay on. Tony Steele. Didn't think tapes were being held imo
