Announced on the Monarch's website that Jason Garrity has pulled out.

Personally, I think 22 heats of speedway for £15 is excellent value for money but no-one twists your arm to attend! If you don't want to be there that's your prerogative.

A "very silly post" it might be but an air fence wouldn't have been any use to Jozsef Tabaka.

I think EnglishRoundabout is correct. Looking at the forecasts (rain every hour from now until 1700 Monday) it seems the sensible thing to do. Tuesday doesn't look promising either. I've just made the decision not to travel from Edinburgh and will cancel my hotel in a minute.

Track looked ok to me. Heat 1 was 55 seconds - just 1.5 outside the track record but times did increase as the meeting went on. I believe Alan Bridgett was at the track from around 10 until 3pm.

As you will see from the photograph in the link, Robert Branford, in yellow, is clearly not in control of his bike. http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/news/article.asp?id=1418

Sequence photographs of the incident and eye-witness reports from officials suggest that Robert Branford got out of shape entering the first bend.

Perhaps you would care to explain why you have chosen to use the word 'enemy'. It's strong and antagonistic in a sport where, historically, supporters of different teams are famed for getting along. .

1. Craig Cook 2. Derek Sneddon 3. Theo Pijper 4. Max Fricke 5. Sam Masters 6. Jozsef Tabaka 7. That would be my riding order.

1. 1st race to be run at the advertised start time. 2. All 4 back should be just that. Not via the pits.

John Campbell has resigned as a joint promoter. The other promoter is Alex Harkess. It has to be presumed Mr Campbell is still a director of Edinburgh Speedway (1986) Ltd along with 5 other directors. This announcement, whilst sad, does not indicate the demise of the Edinburgh Monarchs.
