Laguta £50Less Vaculik £50Less Woffinden £100 More Good to see this back again.

Taylor is producing some cracking shots and has the support of many riders. Some of these older photographers just don't like a young gun stepping on their patch.

After tonights showing. You shud be disapointed if don't hit 60.

That was a let off. Bandits done very well with 4 man team.

Shud be a straight forward win with our top 5 capable at home of scoring well. Berwick have been a little bit of a bogey team and can thrown in a good meeting at the Dale, hopefully they will have one of their off nights. If we can hit 50 I will be happy. The reserve fixture we will be lucky to hit 30. Out of interest when does Lawson get a new average? Best shot of him if he doesn't have a marked improvement this weekend. I'd take jedd list who we might just be able to squeeze in if we replace lawson soon.

Don't see Glasgow being troubled much. Cookie will be untouchable with decent back up from vissing and jensen. Bickley will score well at reserve. For us Wells will have a decent return and Heeps is on good form. Pickering will be entertaining but unlikely to score more than 6/7. Rest I fear will be also rans. Been wrong before so will watch the updates with interest.

Not sure how this meeting will go. Edin not exactly starting meetings well and could see Tigers open up a lead after the first few races. All tigers riders can ride the Dale well and Bickley could out score both our reserves if he takes liking to the track. Wells and Sedgy need to be on it from Heat 1 and Andersson needs to chip in bit more. Would hope for a win by at least 10 but would not be shocked by a glasgow win. Hopefully this meeting is attended in good spirits, last few years have put me off attending these meetings as the idiot count from both clubs seems to rise.

Not a bad meeting good weather and close score until Edin pulled away in second half. Starting to hope Pickering misses the gate every race so exciting to watch. Newcastle carrying too many passengers with Lambert, Phillips and Bjerre (after his 1st ride was poor). Worrall also going missing at the end. All the monarchs had their moments but need to start a meeting stronger. Finally glad season is underway hopefully same weather every week .

Cracking vid from Glasgow. Doings things right to promote the sport. Been some cheesy vids but this is a decent one.

Unforeseen LOL.

Does anyone have a list with all the teams and riders averages? Was sure the front page did at some point. Cheers

I like the idea. Fair play for trying something new.

Luke Chessell signs.

And also Ricky Wells and Joel Andersson.

Cookie signs

Joe Lawlor signed.

Would clegg want to come back?

That would be a great signing.

Josh Pickering signs

Edinburgh was part of it too (with permission from promotion) . Was Justin Sedgmen not involved in the organising during the Australian 'off' season?

Justin Sedgmen back at Monarchs.

Team building will be tough with only a 38 point limit. So who stays and who goes? Would keep... Pickering, Lawson, Wells and Andersdon. (doubt we could fit both swedes with Wells in team). Bye bye to Riss (will ride abroad and prem) , Palovaara (avg to high to have both swedes) , Worrall (decent avg but will have offers elsewhere and get more consistency with Wells).  So got to find 3 more riders hopefully a new young brit on a 2. Kemp would be nice but be a few clubs be after him and maybe too far north for him (or east). Not sure on assessed rider rules but Luke Becker would be a good addition based on some of his scores last year. Quite enjoy this silly season when the team building starts. Then just another 4ish avg rider to find (Garcia?). Easy this team building malarkey

Didn't see that other one apologies. This cab slowly get forgotten about.

Might aswell kick this off since we now know the points limit. Team building will be tough with only a 38 point limit. So who stays and who goes? Would keep... Pickering, Lawson, Wells and Andersdon.
