eide67 199 Posted June 30, 2019 I think Edinburgh might just nick this today I will be going to support my team and as long as all those wearing blue and gold give 100% I will be happy, whatever the score. Hopefully see some good racing and the rain stays away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure Glasgow can survive without my £20. They’ve just paid for a tv advert so I think they’ll manage. Edited June 30, 2019 by Mr Blobby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StanTheMan 7 Posted June 30, 2019 4 hours ago, Mr Blobby said: Nobody willing to travel up to ride, obviously everyone seems to earn to much. Thanks to Nathan greaves for at least giving it ago. After the Edinburgh v Redcar meeting, Greaves said he was feeling rusty because he hadn't ridden for nigh on a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cj69 333 Posted June 30, 2019 Well we got 35 many more than expected so take my hat off to them. Glasgow no need to get out of 3rd gear. Good score from Andersson and Victor, expected wee bit more from Heeps and Greaves scored well. Another break for us next week's with a juniors meeting so hopefully got our riders back fit and a new reserve line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted June 30, 2019 Two race winners all meeting tells its own story for Edinburgh, another maximum for Cook and another very solid score from Kyle Bickley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Today is why we should never return to Sunday afternoon racing. Got showered in sh1te watching a shower of sh1te despite track grading and watering almost every 2 heats up to ht10. There is no way you can beat the wind and sun drying out the track during the day. It rides totally different to an evening start and we were out of sorts in the opening heats when we should have put this lot to the sword, 35 points is more than flattering for a struggling team who turned up with r/r for their No1. I dont know why we couldnt start at 7.30 as normal when its cooler, the track retains the moisture and its the school holidays so families arent put off. Arguably the best heats were when the watering stopped with Starke having a stormer in heats 14 & 15 and Connor Bailey getting under Coles in ht14 but the boredom of watching tractor racing in the early meeting killed the normal excitement of a derby for me. Thankfully back to Fridays for the next home meeting. Onward. Edited June 30, 2019 by MD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed endless tractor racing and clouds of dust , no more afternoon racing during the summer months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted June 30, 2019 Thought our boys put up a spirited performance, well six of them did. Shows how low our ambitions currently are when I am satisfied scoring 35 points at Glasgow. Thanks to Nathan Greaves for his efforts. Would hope that is the last time we see Lawson in an Edinburgh race jacket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted June 30, 2019 Young Kyle seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder at the moment, a wee word with him to wind his neck in a little from someone would help. Deliberately posting on an Edinburgh Facebook page to get reactions from supporters rather unprofessional. Now got himself banned from the page for doing so. Just get on with your speedway no need to go goading people for no reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
