Good decision!

What average would PC come in on?

Put your reel away Shadders!! Monarchs will be on their 4th meeting in 4 days, the first 3 on big fast tracks. Stevie will be on his 5th in 5 days!!

It's fishing of sorts!!

It was ...... Aspgren Worrall Hawkins B Kurtz 58.1

Cookie's coat must be on the shoogly peg. And so do I - ever since the Old Meadowbank & Coatbridge days. Hell I even changed jobs to move to London when they sold the licence to Wembley in 1970!! Can't say I've noticed anyone disappearing.

How many did Rye get at Somerset the other week?

Better wait till Berwick go to Somerset - Kus will be out of reserve then!

Good win for Rye. Didn't expect that. Heaven knows why peterborough dumped Greenwood - was impressive every time I saw him.

Well done Somerset. Hoped for a better Monarchs performance but didn't expect one given our weakness at reserve. Somerset are a steamroller at home and we seem to have had some bike issues to go with a couple of injuries. Crazy schedule that we are on at the moment but hey ho it's on to Sheffo we go.

Somerset must be favourites. Maybe we should prepare the track like an Ippo one for them?

Not any better I wouldn't say. Might be slightly better on the bigger track.

Indeed. It would make sense to just give them the 9 points and save everyone the bother of long distance travel not to mention the vagaries of the weather.

Nathan Greaves in for Aaron Fox. Don't see him scoring any, but unfortunately it's hard to imagine Derek Sneddon doing anything other than beating Greaves. Not sure a 5 man team can get close to a point at the OTA.

Amazing. And fantastic news. Wasn't too impressed by Sky showing a replay of it. I don't think Nigel liked it either.

Are rebels gating tarts then?

No problem! Hope it's a good meeting.

I was balancing out post #3 http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=77356&p=2493768

And Bates seems to have gone backwards since his Monarchs guesting days!! And as for Richie Hawkins............... he takes fright at the border!!

And Doyle has lost to Josh Bates ar Armadale, as seen here last season - http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/emtv/player2.asp?cat=Racing_2013&id=100086

Text of speech is here - http://www.politicshome.com/uk/article/102818/boris_johnsons_eu_speech_at_bloomberg.html Got to love him!!

So Easty can grade after every race - do their meetings take any longer than the general average for 15 heats? I assume not. And if the tractor grades the start area, presumably there is no need for any gardening? All sounds good to me. I've no problem in watching riders going through their adjusting and their general fiddling with clutches, goggles, gloves, helmets, etc. Always enjoyed watching Chris Louis' antics. I just think that should be all they are allowed to do and it should be done outside the start area. All this getting off the bike to kick a bit of dirt around - what the heck!!

Easy 3 points for Ippo.

home win with a good bit to spare

The ref should be able to stop that.
