Lots in Australia...

Lots of extras sitting near you last time though... seems it's the place to be! Any requests for the pick and mix?

But why only in heat 15 does a rider start 15m back in the original gate position?

Have to be there early to beat the crowds!

Sarjeant back to number 2, Douglas in at 4. Redcar have their highest Ave at 1 then next highest at 2 etc all the way to number 7 being lowest Ave! So no Bruv or Macca this Saturday... anyone else missing from the register?

Kerr 6.92 so Not much available... Belle Vue v Lakeside (EL) Leicester v Swindon (EL) Ipswich v Redcar (PL) Rye House v Berwick (PL) Workington v Plymouth (PL) That leaves.... Peterborough Glasgow Somerset Sheffield Newcastle Edinburgh Scunthorpe Douglas, Davies, Allen, Howarth only riders with 6 aves

King.... Our number 1 so will not be replaced as no 9 point men about. Covatti and Risager... have improved their aves Kerr and Sarjeant.... have decreased their aves Castagna and Greenwood.... are 3 pointers. So who goes if changes are made? But hands must be tied with no ready-made replacements about... Sedgman and Morris could ride pl but both ride on Thursdays. Whilst Cook and B Kurtz already been snapped up from last years PL. What's Rene Bach doing now? Thing is good riders come to Ipswich and go bad over the course of a season! Especially no1s .... look at Doolan , Worrall, Barker and Tungate. Even happening to King now.... What's that all about!?

IPSWICH 42.01 41.35 -0.66 Danny King 9.54 9.27 -0.27 James Sarjeant 4.88 4.58 -0.3 Lewis Kerr 6.85 6.59 -0.26 Morten Risager 6.86 7.04 0.18 Nico Covatti 7.55 7.74 0.19 Paco Castagna 3.33 3.13 -0.2 Ritchings/ Greenwood 3.00 3 0 You can see from the above stats who is not doing their jobs, only 2 riders have improved their aves, but most are riding to "about" their aves! Yes Castagna has been poor but hes a 3 point man scoring 3 points! Same can be said for Sarjeant and Kerr, just think we were expecting them to up their aves by a point! Currently there is 1.15 to play with but who are available? Bridger has an ave over 6.00 at the season start so rules him out, Kenneth Bjerre on a EL ave of 5.87, Michelsen/ Milik on 5.67. Or P Karlsson on 5.51? Could go for Rob Mear from Lakeside. From the PL Ty Proctor on 6.68 looks a like for like swap for Kerr, permit permitting.... Ashley Morris the same for Sarjeant... Whats Lewis Blackbird upto?

Rule book says it's not permitted.... but doesn't say of any punishment?

James Sarjeant touched the tapes at Foxhall v Sheffield and went off 15m even though Risager or a reserve should have replaced him. No comment from Witches as to why they got it wrong! (Rule is 15.14.3)

Let the riders see the track....

321? isnt that Sarjeant's starting technique? Green light and 3 2 1 go!

He is the weakest link..... goodbye!? The Crystal Maze used to ask "start the fans,please".... speedways more like, "wheres the fans please?"

Indeed it did... But only because I couldn't be bothered anymore, just like the general speedway trend! More than welcome to take it over... That's if I can remember the password and login!

Your birth year?

So if the girth is no problem.. Is it the length?

Working on my android box....

Paco!

Don't forget motogp and England v Turkey at football.... Plus Krakow v lodz 4pm Torun v Wroclaw 6.30pm Zielona Gora v Gorzow

Poor support from the terraces not gonna help... if only they had something to create an atmosphere with!

Great excuse... I can come too!

You forgot the sweets and the Witches warcry... See you all next week.... Oh no, OK then Thursday week... Oh no there isnt any in half term either! Saturday it is then around 7.30, Plenty of action, time to get dirty!* * note- just like the track. Dirt not included PS ... Baldyman you were always gonna give a bad "review" as someone nicked ya normal seat!

Whooohooo a win! Just.. thanks to a Danny King flyer in heat 15... the comeback is on!

Will be leaving soon to the new improved Ipswich Witches.... heres to the great meeting with lots of action and a positive result for the Witches!
