That will be a whoosh then, it’s a bears fan being sarcastic / complimentary to Monarchs.

Says it all about the feelings of supporters where you have 191 following on updates and only one page of comments. The sport really has reached its nadir. Sad state of affairs but the following is so poor.

When your 1&5 score 12 points between them from 9 rides away from home, then there is only ever going to be one result.

Wallinger was only ever going to score if someone fell off, but the rest can hold their heads up and a thank you to Wethers for a good performance as a guest.

Hopefully, that has put to rest any thoughts of signing Worrall as a replacement for King.

After the two results last night this was only going to be a home win. The Ipswich team is not built for using RR for either their 4th or 5th in the averages as we needed at least one strong reserve to cover this.

What a brilliant night of racing. Heat 1 was possibly the best race I've seen at armadale and set the tone for the night. It also set the tone for the scoring with a last place for Rory. The monarchs looked the hungrier team throughout with only covatti really able to seriously trouble them. The tac sub and a few 3-3s kept the score interesting for a bit but never really in doubt and when our 2 swedes took a 5-1 over covatti in ht8 there was no coming back for the witches.

Ricky and Erik excellent and very well backed up by Joel, Victor, Mark and to a lesser extent josh who had a tough night. Max got a paid win in ht2 and was really unlucky with his race against wethers and machine problems cost him.

But it was a great night with passing in most races and really close hard racing. Just a shame the monarchs have 2 weeks off as the momentum of the last 2 nights could propel them into significant play off contenders. Although I'd settle for racing like that every week

Mountain seems to go well at Armadale. 

Paid scores of 9, 8 & 6 in his last 3.

Doesn't seem to fall off there either. 

Is it because it's always smooth compared to Fix Holes?

Fantastic nights racing, Ricky and Erik were outstanding, backed up well from Joel at reserve, Victor and josh a little below their usual standard. Mark took a couple of rides to get going max had a good heat 2 and looked reasonably quick then struggled after that. 

Anyway onto Cardiff then we’ll see what happens after that.

Not sure its correct however M Riss has dropped almost a point off greenssheet average(5.68/4.86) from the start of the season.

Ruml started off quite well but has not pushed on as we would have liked, unlike joel who is improving with every meeting im not sure ruml is. Think he just needs time but do we have that time if we are to put in a play-off challenge?

I'm just saying we struggle when the reserves have to cover RR this season, if we have a full team we should be okay but this season we haven't had that much with injuries.
