We hardly benefit from the current local derbies, no big loss in my opinion! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason for that is due to the infamous letter, nothing to do with being pumped as Paulco says above. I'm delighted that folk are saying the racing has been better this season, but for me and many others the sticking point is the management and nothing else. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems both promotions have moved on and seem to be working together ,pity some fan's can't do the same. Edited October 26, 2019 by Gazc 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cj69 333 Posted October 26, 2019 I used to attend Ashfield fairly regualry (about once a month) but since the change of race nights its been a little harder to manage a trip through. Sun afternoons suited whereas midweek and Fri night a no go. Shamed to say was only there once this year, although rain did ruin a couple plans. If (and a big if) you go up would be good to see new teams but midweek would affect crowd levels from away fans. I know people who still hold a grudge over the famous average fixing night all those years ago. It's amazes me people still use that as an excuse to not support their team against our closest rivals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 Posted October 26, 2019 I'm sure that the infamous letter just emphasised that they the owners were not going through to armadale. It did not say on no account should tigers fans go through. And even if it did we've still gone through in our hundreds despite it being a trick track. Can't help thinking some monarchs fans are just trying to use any excuse to justify there absence. Why not just be honest and say we don't want to see our team get gubbed. I obviously exclude from this the decent Edinburgh fans who'll support there team through thick and thin as we did in our poor years 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
