Wow didn't expect that. Really sorry for Max - had a few rough deals this season but for whatever reason doesn't seem to have kicked on or even maintained his level. Monarchs certainly making a load of changes this season having gone years without changing mid season ones.

Nicholls pushing for a place at ippo next season?

Wash your mouth out (or wash your fingers)! Was going to pop over for it but the wife's arranged for a load of norfockers to turn up this afternoon. So I'll miss the footie this afternoon too. Grim day.

At least you don't mean me!

Stroll in the Tyne for the weej.

With oyster card not riding he'll have to lean over the fence to pull covatti down.

Will Nicholls fence Ellis? Dunno if he's done it before!

Can see ippo winning this. Panters need a big score from Ben bonkers. Riss for double figures. Covatti will be glad someone is missing.

It was only Richie's second meeting and he's got dialled in quickly enough - 2 maximums so far.

Surely a couple of meetings is enough to learn the track? Or have a go after the meeting?

Damn - why no Campton?

And a dry evening too!

Won't happen again with Sturgeon's lot in charge.

Maximum for Mark.

Told you Mark was very good! Monarchs old boys 32 points for ippo - the rest 16!

Ask the nice Mr. Godfrey.

Well said Gazc.

I assume Heeps must be a golfing partner for CL or RH? And I assume Mountain doesn't play golf?

Hope you are not pinning too much hope on Kemp when he starts. Huge jump to the CL from NL. As you can see from Bickley's scores this season.

Dream on! He means Mark will be averaging about 8 next season. Super rider, great style, lovely bloke. Got you into the playoffs last season!

Mark would be a great signing. Really sorry we have dropped him. Think he was close to winning the Scottish open at the start of the season.

Is Ben Barker still wearing his Weej ones?

Mountain seems to go well at Armadale. Paid scores of 9, 8 & 6 in his last 3. Doesn't seem to fall off there either. Is it because it's always smooth compared to Fix Holes?

Stewart beat Nicholls last time he was there!

Could be more.
