The devil is always in the detail. They finished level on points with Ipswich but I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t have been the case had Ipswich not had a midseason wobble when they went without their two most important riders at the time at 1 and 6 (Doyle and Thompson). They lost a fair few meetings in their absence that I’m sure they wouldn’t have done otherwise. They were racking up cricket scores early doors until the injury curse struck again.

Neville was a much better rider than Joe or Jason Got me thinking about brothers in speedway Simon much better than Julian Wigg Scott much better that Shaun Nicholls All the Collins much better than Stephen I guess the Morans and the Karlssons were close ability wise Edited 2 hours ago by Gavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvin was far better than Neville, just like Dan is far better than Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is on a cheap android so only one step up from a spud Then taken in a pitch black room from about 5 metres away off a 100 inch screen with pictures via a projected mirrored to WiFi connected signal Finally it needed to be zoomed and cropped to meet forum limitations All in all I'm happy with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a good marketing opportunity for any local undertakers who could have been bothered to attend tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was good tonight, Ipswich turned out and Leicester filled it up, more witches flags I’d say. One thing we can all agree on, there was no N Monkeys around which was nice 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn’t dismiss riders who are still teenagers (how do you encourage youth?) but there has to come a point when you say a rider has had enough racing experience to conclude that further improvement is unlikely.

Heard someone as we left the stadium boast about at least 2,000… I’d be surprised if Foxhall isn’t double that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Irving Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Surprised at Hawkins going for Doyle over Brennan in 15. Tom took a while to get his set up right but once he did, he was absolutely rapid in his final two rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt PK was the better of the Karlssons, but acknowledge both were damn good! Advantage Witches for sure but heat 15 is a reminder how it can go wrong, they should be taking a bigger lead to Foxhall. No room to be complacenet on Thursday. Well done the Witches reserves too - whilst Emil gave a great performance as did TomB - Dan and Jason did a complete job over their rival reserves tonight.

Aries Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Thought there was some decent racing at times 🤷🏼♂️ ok wasn’t a thriller, but there was some good races in there. Wasn’t as good as the Sheffield meeting in the semi, but thought it was better than both semi’s at Foxhall and the NSS. Fingers crossed Adam isn’t too beat up. Been in the wars a bit.
