I'm sure nicki pedersens gear will be quick enough I think it was rolling chassis' only that he got from Nicki. I think top 6 teams may be in no particular order: Scuthorpe, Newcastle, Workington, Ipswich, Peterborough & Berwick.

Whats the latest on a replacement for Armadale? Was in Edinburgh last weekend and went past Meadowbank and got me wondering about the proposed new stadium.

Witch one will he choose? (hopefully)

On Belle Vue thread they are saying(hopeing) he does for EL, so you would think if that was the case then he would qualify for PL reduction.

Enough of your teams please. Lanham has already tweeted thats he's looking for new team for 2014, Ellis is still on lookout for PL team for 2014 so forget about them 2, put money on Heeps & Tungate being Witches again and prob Risager as well.

Ben was a no show, didn't go down well with many there.

I think coverage of the recent British Final from Coventry will have some highlights on Sky at some point.

He's hopeing to ride on Thursday.

Didn't he also turndown the chance to ride in the opening 'Test Match' at Ipswich?

Hi Rob, Speedway from The Sun on Saturday by Russell Lanning. Ben Barker has denied provoking the "violent behaviour" that had fellow GB star Craig Cook chucked out of a meeting. Edinburgh No.1 Cookie threw a punch at Ipswich's Barker in the pits after they clashed on Thursday. Barker said "he passed me fair and square in the opening race. He claims I barged past him on the way back to the pits but I didn't." Cook said "I'd like to make an unreserved apology. I am not the sort of person who looks for conflict." Poole have signed double World Champion Greg Hancock.

One was Chris Mills.

Thought it had already been billed as Premier Test series with Barker, Cook, Doyle & Proctor listed on the original version of the advertising poster but the website has another version with riders names missing! http://www.ipswichwitches.co/index.php/home

Chris was studio guest on this morning's Stephen Foster BBC Radio Suffolk programme, interesting listening, talking about his career, the witches, fen tigers and the future for speedway. Listen again at www.bbc.co.uk/radiosuffolk/programmes/schedules/2013/05/06

We spoke to Peter Simmons after the announcement and he said the decision to call the meeting was made by the Ref (mick bates I think) after consulting with Leigh Lanham & David Howe.

If Matt isnt fit, i'd guess Sneddon or Wethers to guest.

well it has gone very quiet on these 7-12 play-off since it was annouced at the begining of the year but according to todays BSPA website looks like they are still going ahead. RYE House youngster Jason Garrity is planning a behind-closed-doors practice on Friday as he bids to make a quick return to racing. Garrity is hopeful of overcoming a painful hand injury and if practice is successful he will return for the club’s National League team the following evening. Promoter Len Silver said: “I am very hopeful of a successful test. It would also mean that he would be able to take his place in the Rockets’ team for the vital league match against Edinburgh the following week - an absolute MUST WIN event if we are to gain a place in the final Trophy series by not finishing bottom of the league.” Meanwhile Rockets’ No.1 Charlie Gjedde has reported recent improvement following his recent lay-off with concussion, and he could yet also return for the clash with the Monarchs. http://www.speedwayg...hp?extend.17737

Witches 1.Leigh 2.R/R (Dak at World Team u21 cup final) 3.Taylor 4.Morten 5.Rohan 6.Matt 7.Steffan Nielsen (guest) According to Pete Simmons' twitter

Im guessing that its because the Scunthorpe match was moved to July 11th & Glasgow match was moved to June 14th.

This Coming Friday, Saturday & Sunday sees the 2012 European Cycle Speedway Championships coming to Suffolk to be held at the Great Blakenham & Ipswich tracks.

Wonder if any of these will be at Somerset friday night? I know Kyle will probably miss it because of his injury now, but maybe Witches could pull of an aggregate victory depending on Somerset guests!
