OK the kids race was good but apart from that I'd have to ask you to name them although to be fair the dust didn't help so might have missed some of thrilling action

Well I did say this would be close and to be fair to Edinburgh josh pickering gifted us points in heats 2 and 14 and we still couldn't take advantage. I know theres reasons but 2.5 hours for a match, covered in dust and you wonder how many will come back. Only decent race heat 10 with Harris riding well. So surprised at criticism of him on Facebook and forum. Paid 8 from 3 then crashed due to the track and came out in 15 cos Worrall wouldn't. The manager needs to realise their is more to the job than celebrating wins. Needs to earn respect from fans and riders, not easy

No chance of many monarchs fans coming through which is a shame as they will do well today. There 2 reserves will outscore James and Jack and Wells and the risss have all scored well. So a lot tighter than blobby is suggesting and being an afternoon match who knows what will happen, think Workington

Have to agree with you and id settle for 8 as I think it will be more. Chris having blown one engine to bits has wrecked another bike riding for rye house . so goodness knows what he'll be riding maybe one of the bikes that kept failing early in the season? Paul back from injury and having to ride a tight technical track not the best type of track to make a comeback and Jack brilliant prospect but it takes years to learn Armadale and some never do. so relying on lewis, Richie and Claus and james whose last away match saw him score 0 at Redcar when riding at reserves - even Alfie bowtell got one for Lakeside at Redcar yesterday (no disrespect Alfie). So if 4 riders can't gat a win at Redcar, cant see how 3 can at Armadlae. Throw in the return of Coty Garcia and that makes the monarchs even stronger. Just hope i'm wrong though a big win for the monarchs could see more than 20 Edinburgh fans come through on Sunday which would be good.

Can you not cope with more than one post. The dents were in your riders steel shoes allegedly, according to taylorj

The dents were caused by your interesting team riding. And since you are admitting you won because the track was dry and bumpy we can expect the same at worky. A dry bumpy track and mason back, I'm tempted

No problems with engines on Friday and Harris did OK in grand prix qualifier. Not sure who is doing the dvds this year. There have been some clips on the official website but not heard any news on dvds being available for sale

So is Berwick to Mildenhall and that didn't stop him

You should have accepted our offer to ride a few weeks ago. Told you we had bike problems and with BWD in your team you would have done us over like you did at our place and you would have qualified. With MC coming back and us starting to get the bikes sorted and Paul hopefully back fit and well I can see us doing something at worky. Don't worry I won't say told you so

So another rider would have to leave, the swede? And theyd have to find a 2(?)pointer. Luke ruddock looks a prospect and not far to travel

Luke Harris doesnt ride for Glasgow

Still talking nonsense. You said he was travelling to Poland. Now your saying he was listed. It must be great being a Edinburgh fan where every rider listed actually appears

Totally agree that your post is nonsense Hes not riding for Pila - check there web site

Looks as if its a marketing agency called Too Gallus and presumably there not doing it for nothing. Wonder what they'll come up with to positively hype rider replacement and guests. Tomorrow could give us a clue with r/r/ for Paul Starke and Charles Wright guesting for Chris Harris

Does anyone have any idea who is responsible for the Official Tigers Facebook previews of matches? This week's a cracker

And I BET you know which one (does that help TWK?)

Thoughts with Mitchell Davey and his family after the horrific crash last night. Seemed a right decent lad when he rode in Scotland for both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Bet you are

Don't know why you're asking the question, bet you know the answer

Yes shambolic but I'm not sure why your suggesting the referee had some part in this. Jack Thomas came out in correct blue helmet colour well on time and lined up at right gate, gate 2. Sarjeant came out late also with blue helmet colour. Someone runs across centre green, don't know who but wearing tigers colours so presumably a pit member of some sort and rips off jacks helmet cover and replaces it with a red one. al this with the clock ticking down to zero. Thomas wearing the red colour then gets told to move to gate 4 and sarjeant goes into gate 2. by now the 2minute clock has expired and the ref has no option to disqualify both as they had wrong helmet colours and in the wrong gate position. A pity jack is just a young lad as a more experienced rider would have told the guy changing his colour where to go. And to compound the farce Jack is the one that gets taken out of the race. So sarjeant makes mistake , pit staf make mistake in changing Jack's cover then team manager basically shafts jack. I hope the promotion/team manger/sarjeant or whoever compensates Jack because at least he would have earned something from the race by getting the third place point!

Enjoyed tonight. Took a few heats for us to get going but after that we looked good. Harris and Worrall seemed to have shaken off there bike problems and for Sheffield Wright was excellent. Main talking point heat 14, what was that all about?

So how did it go and was the crowd better due to this extra attraction. Genuine question nothing more....

Whats that got to do with this thread. Start a new topic or post it in Glasgow 2018

Awe that's nice. Bet he's a bigger fan of those that pay his wages

in addition to the ones I suggested? Ok, how about having a 3 week break in your initial fixture list; who thinks that is a good way to attract and retain a crowd . as another poster pointed out you will be playing catch up and could even be out of the competition before you've really got started, which is sad cos on paper you are better than Berwick and Edinburgh and with our tentative start to the season you would likely beat us on Saturday. But hey I'm not really bothered when the match takes place but when it does I hope you get the crowd you deserve
