Wouldn't give the posters under this username the pleasure of abuse, mate. It's what they ultimately want with their constant baiting on the BSF. How these trolls remain on here is beyond me.

I thought we'd got your minions this season!

Whoosh,mate.Whoosh!

That's the thing, if we change now then we have the makings of a reasonable side and season.Wait, and it's 2013 all over again.

Put yourself in his shoes.With his potential he could go places. Would you want to be in a team next season where you're carrying experienced riders you'd rather be emulating and learning from? Lemon needs to do some serious thinking, or someone needs to do it for him. Jesus! I've just noticed Berge was on a TR in the same heat as Wolbert. What a kick in the Knackwurst!

Yes, we sure are going to get hammered. Well and truly hammered. In fact totally hammered. Well and truly slaughtered! Totally battered. Totally jaked. Smashed. Blootered Blazin' Rubber We're going to get hammered when we win! Stonner!

So there's no misunderstanding can I clarify my point on funding raising. I'm not suggesting there is a scam, What I am suggesting is at Edinburgh there are numerous people walking through the crowd collecting fuel fund monies and selling raffle tickets. At Glasgow I didn't see anyone on Sunday, and I stood at the same spot in front of the tapes for best part of 12 heats. At Edinburgh if 10p falls out your pocket, a fund raiser will catch it before it hits the ground! One of my points about the bar and the food is that for a new comer, they are not obvious, lack of sign posts and the announcer could do more (yes he did advise on at least one occasion) to make people aware that they're available and when to find them. BTW - On Sunday I bought a burger and it was pretty good .... but nae onions!

With the dust settling on the rider performances and time to consider some of the other points raised on this thread. I've been to both Glasgow and Edinburgh twice this season, so a few observations comparing presentation. And I've tried to see this through the eyes of someone new to speedway who went to both Easter weekend meetings. First impression - £2 for a programme from the rained off Workington meeting of 6th April! Did include a bonus racecard insert from the Berwick meeting. Poor start. A PA system that stuttered. Meeting presenter - Edinburgh have one. Glasgow - tells us who to cheer for and who won the race. (I'm new to speedway - WTF is the black and white helmet?) Start marshalls - Glasgow have (had) one throwing a wobbler in public. Plus a girl who looks like she's ... well, not sure she looked confident in what she was doing. Promotion officials - Edinburgh - smart, easily identifiable and accessible. Smiling, chatting with punters. Getting punter feedback. Walking about amongst them. Glasgow - Lord Lucan? Raffle - Edinburgh - Ahh! a chance to win some dosh from that woman selling the tickets. Glasgow - wouldn't succeed in a job interview with BetFred or Barnados. Hint to Glasgow - Fund raising guys. Fund raising! Money. Dosh. Spondulics. No begging bowl mid-season. Capiche? Where TF is it? Food - Edinburgh - On entry as you go in. Clean, quick service. Glasgow - somewhere up the back of the stand, OK if you know where it is. Service is s...l...o...w. Cleanliness? Think I'll wait till after the meeting and go to the greasy chippy across the road from the stadium. The one with the two cats in the window and the four trading standards and council food hygiene officers having a meeting with the smoking chef in the blood and food stained apron. Beer - Edinburgh - bar easily visible and accessible. Glasgow - Like the food, "do they serve bevvy?" Shall we go back next week? Well if we do - we won't buy an old programme (on second thoughts we'll use that Berwick racecard), we'll take our own food/drink and we'd better swot up beforehand on what these four riders are doing out there.

Elm House?

After giving Wolbert the benefit of the doubt during the meeting the yesterday, after seeing him on Friday ... what I couldn't get, was if he was having bike problems ... why didn't he jump on someone else's bike?

I'm no expert so didn't comment when others here mentioned the track. It certainly looked OK to me and 7 Monarchs, Dimitri and Rusty appeared to have no issues with it. Because it/them (there is more than one) is/are just trying to bait people on here. It isn't a gamble at all. The promotion has already invested heavily this season and fans have helped to finance an air fence. If the promotion don't invest more they stand to lose most of the previous finance. It's called ... business.

Too many hangers on?

Have we no tractor driver? Think one of the start guys packed in yesterday from what I could see/hear. Two's company, three's a crowd?

A few post meeting practice laps (including Wolbert - tells us what we need to know) here courtesy/credit of original poster on Facebook. Also a few heats, including Dimitri TR in heat 8. In all the post meeting emotion today, I'd forgotten to mention what a great prospect he looks. Also, forgot to say ... All due respect to the Monarchs .... they really do look a good side, fully deserved their win and fair dues to the promotion for the team assembled. https://www.facebook.com/groups/172700049508814/?ref=ts Hope posting this link doesn't break any forum rules .... not sure!

Far from it on Friday. See previously mentioned EM:TV Maybe, no likey Ashfield?

He was incredible on Friday.Heat 1 he was only 0.5 outside Cook's track record for the new measurements and that was on a wet track. In one of his latter heats heats whilst leading he flew into bend 1 / 2 so fast he almost overcooked it, but controlled it and got back on track. There was none of this trailing in at the back business, he was on the pace and trying in every heat. Even heat 15 when last he kept in touch. See for yourself - EM:TV on Monarchs website for heats 13 and 15.

The typos in in your last two posts are so appropriate Dekker!

You know a Glasgow team is REALLY bad when even the Monarchs on BSF aren't rubbing it in!

Suicide Solution by Ozzy Osbourne would have been more appropriate.

LOL On that basis, and today's lack of performance (by a few) I think I'll give that thread and next weeks meeting a miss and go for that appointment I've been putting off for ages .... Having hot pins put in my eyes and my teeth extracted without anaesthetic. Oh shoot! I cheered when he said that. I thought he said "we're going to retire"

So much for educashun.

Noted and saved in the folder, "when peed off with Mr Blobby use this".

The sooner Peterborough go EL the better!

Yes it was a strange decision on the promotions part.That's because someone else made the decision for them.

I'm now beginning to think you might be right MrB!
