I’m sure the opportunity is there and he’ll be doing everything he can to impress, we know how gutted he was to not have a place this year. But, there’s still better options out there for me.

Think we were all in agreement before the season started that Jenkins wasn’t the right choice for the senior reserve position on his average with the way we built the side, but the way things have started this year, unfortunately this probably makes us stronger on Monday!

So roughly the same size as the old Foxhall track before the changes. Not quite the juggernaut everyone was describing 😂

Yes. Paul Hurry mentions it here https://ipswichwitches.co/hurry-no-let-up-for-witches-on-northampton-debut/

Every single non neutral on here who has a team to support despite what they’ll try and tell us. I take your point on the first issue though and I actually agree with you. I can only speak for myself here, but for me there’s definitely been something missing in these opening meetings. That star quality is missing. I always looked forward to the opening heat because Emil or Doyle were in it, same for every other heat they were in. That is now missing and the fact (with all due respect to him) Musielak is now the highlight and the races I now most look forward to speaks volumes from my perspective. As does the fact I plumped for a season ticket again this year, but still couldn’t be bothered to make the trip across town to go so paid another 15 quid to watch it at home instead! I regret now getting one but if it’s a similar style of line up next year I certainly won’t be getting another and will watch the odd stream instead.

I caught that too 😂 pretty sure those decisions were already made and like you say, he was just giving both riders some encouragement.

Really was pretty turgid stuff wasn’t it 🥴

Good to see Coleman there again fully hands on considering one particular naysayer said he’d be far too busy and wouldn’t be seen.

They’re all having a whinge about it being far too slick and they’re justified. Very little grip

Link on there for anyone who fancies watching some speedway tonight.

Just had a little look at that Witches TV and they’ve got the Kings Lynn meeting on there free to view. Have to say I’m impressed with the coverage, good camera angles.

He’ll get Thursday for sure so let’s see if there’s any improvement then.

I can’t see them axing him this quickly but we have to be honest it’s been a very disappointing start from him. Wouldn’t mind so much if we’re seeing the effort without getting the results, but where is the entertaining fence scraper busting a gut to reel people in? It’s bizarre how far away from that type of rider he’s looked.

The warning signs were there in the very first meeting at Foxhall. His gating is usually poor but he popped out in good positions a couple of times but was immediately looking behind him and riding in defensive mode and was inevitably passed. And this was at Foxhall!

I said earlier on in the thread that Nicholls probably wouldn’t score a point and was called out for being negative. But I’m afraid it was pretty obvious. It will be a similar scenario at Sheffield unfortunately.

Pretty sure he’s on about the type of track suiting his alleged riding style, not his actual record on it!

Bit crap isn’t he.

You’re taking the pi$$ here surely. Ipswich get double the crowd Belle Vue get and that’s being generous.

Can’t see a single Witch hitting double figures here. I fully expect to beat Belle Vue at Foxhall, but by less than we’ll lose tonight. They have a better side it’s as simple as that.

Lidsey is one of those riders isn’t he. He’s never going to be a serious player, but is handy to have in a third heatleader role.

That Northampton team is shocking. I read a few weeks back in the Star that they’ll need to keep an eye on performances and if need be, the other promotions may need to help them out. Well they need it already before a wheel is turned because this team is going to struggle winning a meeting at home let alone away!

Why they don’t go back to just calling it the European cup I’ll never know. Calling it the Champions League when a club finishing 5th enters it is daft.
