    she did look ok but the track was very slick very smooth the times were slower than when Dan Bewley had the track record for the colts in 2017. she rode middle of track most of the time. 

    listen there will never be a woman speedway world champion in a million years, not even a transgender man/ woman, not unless zmarzlic comes clean, :rofl:

    Fortunately there aren't many like you out there. What an embarrassment.

    Personally £23 sounds bit steep to me. I'd have thought they'd try & keep it lower (£20) to pack the place out, anywho thinks it's worth £23, could still donate the extra £3?

    Also are the riders racing for free / expenses only? I always thought they did, but I remember reading an interview with Simon Lambert last year, where he suggested it was like getting paid practice?

    So when I see comments like "it's for a good cause" to make people who who are questioning the price look bad, I think if it's for a good cause why are the riders getting paid? Plus the Ben Fund always used to get the fines issued from the BSPL (or was it the SCB) which apparently stopped a year or two back. Why would they take money away from such a good cause? That seems far worse than a fan suggesting £23 is too much!

    If people have issues over an additional £3 then they really shouldn't be spending £20 on going to speedway anyway as there are real life priorities to be taken care of. I would hope nobody would spend money on any sporting event over food, heating, bills and essential clothing.

    "we", as in myself and any other Monarchs / speedway fans who may agree with me.

    You appear to not be in agreement with my thoughts. That's not a problem. Fair play and all that.

    It may well be that I am the only Monarchs / speedway fan to whom it matters. Not really something we could prove either way. You're more than welcome to undertake a fan survey in an attempt to find out?

     

    I'm well aware what my name is m'dear. The difference being, this is an online forum for, amongst others, terracing nobodies such as myself. Nothing official about it.

    By comparison:

    British Speedway website - he's referred to as Josh.

    In the Monarchs programme, it's Josh.

    Monarchs website - it's Josh everywhere I've looked, apart from in the live updates for some reason. Official channels should stick to official names at all times and on a consistent basis.

    I've always been annoyed at the use of inaccurate ID. It goes back a number of years. For example, several tracks have printed / announced riders by referring to them as:

    Dalle Andersson (instead of Daniel)

    Thomas Jonasson (missing the vital H in the middle)

    Rusty Harrison (instead of Russell)

    Willie Lawson (instead of William)

    Paco Castagna (instead of Michele)

    The list is endless.

    A poor show.

    His instagram account is Joshie, as is his merchandise.

    At least. 16 points down after 6 heats (assuming heat 6 was completed in the order the riders were), with only Hume (guest - not riding tomorrow) beating an opponent. And that includes the controversial Roynon exclusion. 
     

    Sign of the times, but, I’d settle for just a close/competitive match, even if we lose. Probably end up 35-55 or so. 

    It won't be close. We can't gate and we can't pass on a track that has struggled to cater for passing this season.

    We get to the rerun of the abandoned meeting from three weeks ago when that unlucky photographer got injured by a flying bike. Hopefully he is now well on the way to recovery. 

    Poole at the time we’re well on the way to the points but things are never the same on a rerun and Pirates have to be right on it to make sure the important three points come south. The pirates are full strength with Joe Thompson now in the team replacing Adam Roynon, who was also injured by a flying bike in the same meeting!

    Perhaps Edinburgh fans can give us an update on the Monarchs team lineup. Is Craig Cook back or a guest?

    Tapes up at 7pm with Birmingham following this meeting. 

     

    You were on your way to 60 points that night. You won't score less than 54 this time.
