Glasgow Tigers v Edinburgh Monarchs CS Sun April 22nd 2018 at 3pm

Recommended Posts

A welcome return to Sunday afternoon action this weekend . A nice civilised lie in followed by a big cooked breakfast , read of the Sunday papers setting me up for a trip to Ashfield via the Horseshoe Bar ( which isn't anywhere near as packed as the Friday or Saturday teatime madness ). 

And with Spring gradually getting its act together , hopefully we get a pleasant , warm afternoon to enjoy the racing instead of the Arctic conditions we've struggled through during our two completed home fixtures to date .

And as it's our nearest and dearest visiting , a hard fought competitive fixture is a given . 

Hopefully both sides are still at full strength after Friday night , and a repeat of the 10 point victory margin gained in the Scottish Cup fixture should be well within our capabilities .

Well !!!..........what's happened?  No input from any of the usual commentators...........and even worse than that,  no Edinburgh thread for tonight's meeting. A bit worrying to say the least. Have people lost interest?

Several weeks of rain offs, poor weather and another set of Glasgow Edinburgh meetings not in the league. Yip!

Have to agree, looks as if promoters aren't taking this competition seriously otherwise we'd have dates for the Worky rain-offs. Whats the point in having spare dates in the fixture list if they are not used. can see the final being run in October!

Poland is the problem even in Championship when rearranging fixtures,even this weekend it appears Worrell and Wells are in Poland today and back tomorrow.

Edinburgh are trying to fill their next free date 18th May but nobody seems to want to fill it.

About time the rules were sorted out, forcing teams involved in a rain off to fill the next available date.

The away team should be given a couple of dates where they don't have a fixture or forfeit the match,that would soon sort things out if the riders are going to lose meetings.The riders don't care about the make up of their Team as long as they are earning money!!!

The weather forecast isnt looking too hot for this one. We need to be on it right from the start and expect EDI to be gunning for an away win. Williamson rides Ashfield very well and Ruml has already had a run out there. Pickering has had his moments previously though Jye Andersson may find the going difficult.

Though possibly not reaching the tropical highs of today's temperatures , it will still be pleasant enough to enjoy watching the Tigers' cement their superiority over our neighbours and put us in pole position in the group .

Hope the track staff have kept an eye on the weather forecast as it keeps changing. with the warm sunny weather yesterday the track will need watering and with a heavy shower forecast c lunchtime that should do the trick. met office saying it should be dry from 2-c5pm . So hopefully we'll be treated to a good aftenoons racing

Been raining in Paisley for a couple of hours now , but i'm not worried as its a nice bit of natural watering , as long as it stops soon . 

A few of us meeting in the Horseshoe at half 12 to raise a glass or two in memory of Falkirkbandit ( wee Marty ) . Rest in peace wee man , we had some great times on speedway trips
