It will depend on what he can arrange in the way of teams abroad. Can't live on the number of EL fixtures as per yesterday's newspaper article - http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/speedway/craig-cook-facing-dilemma-over-monarchs-future-1-3922415 .

He's not decided yet.

Of course he is. So very obvious.

Just the same as Edinburgh then.

As a minimum let's wait until our boys have finished for the season - Smiler, Sedgy, Erik & Cleggy still in action!!

Pity Luke Bowen is tantalisingly out of reach on 4.09!! Must be something in the Panthers rule cook book that would make him fit!!

I would expect Cleggy to be nailed on as one of the first Monarchs signings on a 3.48.

Richard Hall? Deary me I hoped I had seen the back of him.

Wasn't even Phil Lanning who wrote it. Sounds like you are running out of steam now Gazc. Best get back to bbc Alba - there's a game on!

They are happy with the drop off of 4 points because they then have another 4 points to strengthen up with. The assessed average situation is a farce. What is a 7 should stay a 7 until it is exceeded.

It would be disrespectful. We are all totally happy with the 7 we have and don't like the thought of having to replace any of them. (Especially if it's because of some tin pot, badly thought out, 3 point draft enforcement.)

And bringing it back to reality................. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/edinburgh-monarchs-clinch-premier-league-6668236

The key is casual attendees as you say. No-one is seriously saying (are they?!!) that supporters on one team would have to choose whether to watch their team or another on offer.

"Please Miss - he started it."

Such a shame that a thread about the greatest 2 evenings in Scottish speedway history has ended up with such petty arguments about which I doubt anyone knows the whole story. The BSPA MC will make the final decision I expect not the promotions. The thread has become as tedious as most Berwick ones and that is saying something! So to end with - well done Monarchs / hard luck Tigers. And let battle commence again in March.

At least 4 of them would be on the injured list for a while.

Yep sounds good.

Who told you this?

Don't monarchs get second dibs after Poole because we have ruled the bspa for so long?

Fair call. Shame there has been so little about the matches.

Team and a half that one!

So you're the one with the half and half scarf then George.

You ever seen Rangers and Celtic play at home on the same day?

Seriously Gazc? It's just a total anti all things Edinburgh post. Even I am better balanced towards Glasgow than that.

Doesn't read very neutral to me.
