Agree about his racing style, but with any change of track I can't see a 'significant' improvement in his average of 8.34!!

Put a Skull & Crossbones on him.......then see him go up to 10pts!

For those Poole fans who didn’t make the press conference after the meeting, here it is in all its glory.

Thanks Steve!  Would have loved to stay and watch it but a bit late with a 10yo and live 30 mins drive from the stadium as it is!

We did find the champs bar and had a few pints and some good chat with the locals.  In fact it was me who shout "Yes you did" when Stevie Worrall talked about winning the Cup in 2014 with the Monarchs, in fact he won the treble that year.

It's always good at Poole with some good racing unfortunately mostly Monarchs getting passed.  Our heat leaders appeared to have ran out of steam a bit at the end of the season, that's the first time all year we've lost a 5-1 in heat 13 and 15.  In the league match it was 3-3 and then 1-5 so we were capable of better.  Best team over the 2 legs won and deservedly so.  It is great to see large crowds at the speedway at Poole just a shame with all the matches getting crammed in we couldn't get decent travelling support for either leg or even a more deserving size of home support at the Edinburgh leg.   We were intending staying for the Friday evening match as well but were back up the road early after the postponements.

For the Monarchs it has been a decent season with some really good moments and some fgreat performances but a winter to think of what might have been and roll on 2022.

Thanks for that Scotchopper. Steve and I would have come and said hello if we had known who you were. Thanks for the kind words. At least you were gracious in defeat and an honest assessment of the two legs overall.

It's a pity that a certain Mr Jan Andersen couldn't bring himself to be more pleasant.

Hope to get up to Armadsle next season as Steve and I were on the Northern tour in the summer when we had that horrendous weather.

See you hopefully next season.
