teaboy279 1,038 Posted August 21, 2021 Just thought I d share what I posted on Facebook this morning about last night. Massive shout out to the Edinburgh Monachs, staff, fans and management. Never has a speedway club been so welcoming, with everyone thanking us for coming, doing anything they can to make us welcome. Stadium owner insisting we stay until close and filling us up with homemade cake. locals plying us with beer, and then doing running races around the track with thier young fans at 11pm.... And even after the taxi never came back to collect me and Kieran, the guy locking up the stadium took pity on us and drove us to the hotel. If carlsberg did speedway. ..... These guys are right up their with the IOW Warriors Way. 18 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justathought 374 Posted August 21, 2021 That's great to hear. At the end of the day, that's what Speedway is all about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though we don’t own the stadium the owner loves having the speedway. Good guy all be a bit of his head always a highlight after the meeting when the guys and girls from hospitality bring down the left over food, even though it doesn’t help the waistline. Cakes are magic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is one of the most heart warming posts I have ever read on this forum. Surely it is this that sets Speedway apart from all other sports. Can you imagine this happening at a Soccer match ? I wish I could have been with Teaboy and the other Kent fans up at Armadale, I feel as if I have missed a most important meeting of fans. Thanks to Teaboy and Endeavour for sharing it with the rest of us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
