Not sure how you are going to force British reserves to sign for Scottish teams. It's hard enough getting any Brits to do the travelling on a regular basis.

Well I voted for Sedgy and I don't think that was wide of the mark at all. I dunno what his final figure will be but he started on a sub-5 point average in the reserve berth and despite riding in the difficult number 2 slot behind Cookie (well he actually finished ahead of him a lot of the time!!) he still ended up with over 7 and a quarter. He would have been a heat leader everywhere bar Ippo, Newcy and Somerzet with that average. And he must have knocked up around 70 bonus points on top which would have taken him up way into the 8 plus averages.

Looks like your vote for Biggest Improver 2014 was about right!!

He must be as ready as Lambert was this season.

Morris & Aspgren should be kept on.

Two times - nice to hear it. I also seem to have in my head a picture of Adam Ellis sitting it out in the LC Final at Ippo!! That was awarded as a 5-1 to the Monarchs as well - probably happened same bend / same lap as yesterday. But hey it was only heat 12 so is that better? So the refs must love us. Or playing possum is becoming more of a regular occurrence nowadays. If so then the refs have to stamp it out and what better way than by awarding the race.

Think it was the red body colours that confused you and of course a panther is very similar to a tiger!!

You living in the land of make believe then? What's your problem?

Sorry Gazc I think you got the spelling wrong but I've fixed it for you.

Brummie - you are probably the only one on the whole thread who thinks you should reward cheating with another bite at the cherry. In my book you should reward the team that was on the receiving end of the cheats. I hope Asprin was fined heavily - I have heard that fines are not announced in case it encourages fans to have a whip round. I wouldn't like to see him riding for any of my teams in the future.

Guy Martin? My hero!!

Garrity will be relieved.

Sounds like it was a very poor show from Aspgren in heat 15. Becoming all too common nowadays. Shame - it spoils what was a great night's entertainment.

Happy retirement to the Deek man. Always a wholehearted trier popping up with some great rides. And fantastic at generating team spirit. Must not be lost to the sport. I had the pleasure if watching him knock up 16(?) points in a match at Ippo last season. Sensational!

I haven't seen the final figures but Cookie has knocked up a huge number of bonus points for a number 1 - more than one a match. Because he has been happy to let his partners Sedgy and Smiler take wins while he keeps the rabble behind. Certainly can't say the same for Steady. So with bonus, I would expect Cookie to be comfortably number 1 in the League. But at the end of the day Monarchs have had the near perfect season because they have been a TEAM not a group of individuals. Every one of them has chipped in with points at critical times. Can we be allowed to be smug all winter please?

It's all a matter of ifs buts and maybes. But both teams have had great seasons. Just a pity that injuries kicked in for both sides, the same as they hit us in the final last year.

Never been more cheerful! Just not a fan of jokers especially in two leg matches!

Summers scored twice as many as Allen got at Edinburgh in the League meeting (he got 3 from 4). And r/r for Brady got 8+1, as opposed to the 1+1 from 3 that the real Brady scored.

So the joker points were the difference! Our 6 vs Somerset 5. What a joke!

Such a pity Sky won't get off their backsides and show the PL playoff final. That said, I still don't think it should decide the League winners. But we are where we are.

Will need to invest in the DVD. Sounds like it was a hell of a meeting.

Ya beauties!!

Only if you keep that standard up.

That's one of your better ones!

We get stronger as the meeting goes on. So not likely to panic. Can see Cookie going through the card tonight. Will that please you?
