Fenway Bleachers 2,665 Posted October 26, 2014 During the league campaign TRs are allowed so that policy should also apply to the final. I am in a minority and like TRs as it challenges the team manager to using them to the max. If Morris had donned black and white in Heat 9 then the result may have been very different, but we will never know. From an Edinburgh point of view with Cookie at 1 and a TR available we are always in with a chance away from home if we fall 10 behind, and the opposition know it! Reserves are important but you can't beat a sledge hammer at No. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rustyre bel1 19 Posted October 26, 2014 Well done the Monarch's as they say the league table don't lie. Very proud of the Rebels, 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comet49 314 Posted October 26, 2014 Well done, good team selection recognising the talent Sedgman and S Worrall had, they made the difference. Looking forward to seeing the DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted October 26, 2014 And that yet again proves why the premier is head and shoulders above the elite league. Wish sky would take more note and show more meetings. Starman is a Poole fan people they often go missing when they lose! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted October 26, 2014 Must say fate is a wonderful thing, would stevie had been a monarch had richie not been supposedly going to poland every other week and taking a chance on sedgman, who alot wouldnt touch with a barge pole... Very fortunate with injurys and having the best rider in the league, they done it again. For all ive called them over the years, esp over the Wolbert carry on... They keep getting it right, hats off... Its no coincidence. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted October 26, 2014 Two poor guests when it mattered,the rebels management got that wrong and it cost them dearly Rebels management got it right based on form, if the riders don't turn up you have had it. Three points more over the two legs from our No1 guests would have sealed the deal. Summers should be especially ashamed he only beat Fox all night. No complaints though just galling that it has now happened twice to us in three years. On the plus side two trophies in the cabinet again , second in the table when most experts predicted us to struggle to get in the top six and also finished the season with the top team average. Well done all the riders and management at the OTA on another great season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenway Bleachers 2,665 Posted October 26, 2014 Yes Arson Best rider in the league even though his average has dropped by 1.2 due to all his bonus points with Sam and Sedgy. Simon Stead top of the averages it seems and top man (Aye right) Just don't tell Rosco cause he can recognize form remember. To be honest Cookie dipped a little by his high standards mid Summer but is back to his imperious bes again now. No better man to have in the big heats with pressure on, though Smiler Sam outstanding riding pillion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCOTLAND1314 121 Posted October 26, 2014 A dramatic night of speedway played out in front of a huge crowd. That was speedway at its box office best. I'm obviously delighted at my teams 2014 successes but I'd just like to acknowledge Big Martin (Rebel fan with big flag) that I (and a few friends) spoke with on Friday night at Somerset. Martin came into the Armadale bar after the meeting to shake my hand and congratulate the Monarchs on their win. Class act. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
