Pensioner.He’s there every meeting.

At least he's paid to get in, even though it is as a concession... probably topped that up paying for a pit pass... where can I get one of those from? 🤔

Has he?

Unfortunately the p1ss poor meetings are vastly outnumbering the good ones on BSN this year.  Edinburgh seems to be a poor destination for decent racing with the home advantage

Racing at Armadale has deteriorated over the last few seasons.IMO.Track prep seems to be very slick nowadays.Riders probably like it though.

Paid to watch this drivel on BSN, I’m glad I’m not an Edinburgh fan the track looks like gaters paradise , no passing and the stadium facilities look awful. From a Redcar perspective that was pathetic, at least I watched it at home and not paid to go up to Scotland for that one. Getting carried away by the Plymouth result where they had no king or barker and Harris had a mare. Time for Redcar to do something drastic to save the season bring back wright and a 3 pointer and drop Allen or Edwards and Lambert. Harsh but doing nothing i dint think we make play offs.

Tremendous level of sour grapes there, kudos 

To say there was no passing is nonsense 

Heat 4, Thomson gets third on the line almost second 

Heat 6 Grahn and Foord passed and repassed 

Heat 9 Paco on Allen 

Heat 10 Dan on Allen 

heat 14 Edwards on Cluff, Paco on Scott

Heat 15 all 4 riders changed position at one point or another 

With a few other exciting enough races thrown in with Klindt buzzing about Thompson in 13 amongst them 

I’m not saying Armadale is gonna be confused with Belle Vue or Bydgoszcz anytime soon but to say there was no passing is laughably wrong.

I’m sure majority of the forum have the same opinion of yourself. 
 

Anyway the speedway. Rather unexpected result, not sure if we were just really good or Redcar were really poor, bit of a mixture.

RIP the dale burger van.

Would need to be a low 2 pointer to fit Wright back in.

I've been back & forth on whether that double change strengthens the team.

But as a top rider can get 5 rides & a 2 pointer only needs 3 plus they'd still have one strong reserve, probably worth a try.

What's happened?

As predicted an easy home win against a lacklustre and inconsistent Bears side. Looks like the Monarchs are destined for a play off place and Bears have to settle for a possible BSN final but they need to ride better than tonight if they are to beat Berwick.

Big decision if they are to replace Klindt with Wright at some point.
