Monarchs2468

All very true and well articulated. But the track was always going to be this way so if Glasgow didn't set up for better gating then I really don't understand why. Or maybe they were just outgated a little bit on the night? On the flip side these Glasgow boys can be wild at Ashfield and if you tell me Flint and Nagel are in double figures I wouldn't be surprised at all. A joy to watch at times.

Travel. It'll be very good racing.

The meeting wasn't great, but it was pretty much as expected. Poole and their track will not be the demise of speedway, nor will the additional ticket cost, nor will something someone said that you disagreed with. There are a few on here who have posted after every race, posting every thought, every negative they can muster. What a life.

Capacity would likely be the issue for a SGP (I'm not sure what it stands at the moment) but the track itself is fantastic and regularly produces high quality racing. For that reason alone I hope its awarded some more SGP Challenge qualifiers/final, it deserves it.

It was the same for the SWC 2023. Both semis and the race-off had a handful of passes between them. Possibly preservation of the track for the final? Fortunately the final was superb.

Thank you, much appreciated

Do you know if the Gorzow/Ryb winner would be home or away in the first leg of the play down?

Night night time for me but just to answer any enquiries there was a rather unsavory reaction to Leicester winning the title in 2019 at Ashfield. Yes, a pint was thrown. No, Glasgow didn't win the league. @Gazc Very professional.

Apart from when a pint was thrown at a rider. You remember that night?

Both the No.2's tonight were superb. Track was good too with lines for passing inside and out. I just wish Heat 13 had an extra lap as Howarth was looking so determined for that 2nd place.

Yes, mostly. They had taken over hospitality for the evening. I hope they come again next season.

Shout out to the Plymouth fans who attended tonight. It was great to see their colours and flags. They also gave their team great backing throughout.

Great to see a fair few Redcar fans travel up last night. Also great to see Tate on form again, cracking performance.

See you tomorrow buddy. May the floods not overtake us all.

You've used this line before. I find using a calendar is very helpful. You are welcome.

I left the club and felt rain on my tshirt. I instructed my Uber to take me all the way home. Sadly, we are now having to swim segments of Manchester. You were right all along.

You clearly said no water was being used in the intervals.

I'm outside the social club next door. Not raining. You were loving your forecast for tomorrow despite lessons not being learned from today.

Water definitely was being used.

Is it? I'm right next to the stadium and it's dry. It may well rain tomorrow, you'll be absolutely delighted.

Everyone who attended goes home delighted with the speedway today. Shame you missed out.

How refreshing to see Kye gating well again tonight, along with passing from the back. Also very pleasing to see Jonatan's confidence visibly go up in each race. Well done Monarchs, a nice surprise tonight. Also good too see Jacob doing well tonight. Always liked him as a Monarch. Hopefully Tate can get back to full confidence/fitness soon.

That would be great. What are your ideas?

Totally agree. Hopefully some riders become/are available and willing. Things can change throughout the season so who knows.

I could be wrong, and please correct me if I am, but the ethos of the Monarchs has always been to build a competitive team but also one that may take time to grow into a season. As you say, nothing wrong with that. We gambled this year in quite an exciting way and it hasn't paid off this time. It's such a shame because with Oskar, Victor and Justin it would have made for a competitive season.
