Sorry to go off topic here but this is the first page that I have been able to access. Could one of the Mods please sort out the Forum, on the majority of pages I only get a "DRIVER ERROR" message. Thanks.
You're not the only one thinking that. Rider walking out, rider pulling out with an illness (dodgy burger?), rumours about Rusty being finished for the season.No atmosphere about the place.
I think the problem was more to do with the name "Monarchs". If a neutral name such as "Scottish Bravehearts" was used things might have been different. Obviously Edinburgh wanted to keep their name for continuity.
A couple of team threads suggest using Glasgow 2014 team members. Perhaps other promotions could loan riders to Glasgow for next season to allow them to drop their averages for a 2016 return to the parent club.
