Mr Blobby

So much for having to have a NL rider at number 7 then.

He's done it in the past.

It's a Kinvig article, so it can't really be taken seriously. But I fully expect the usual suspects to come on and have a pop anyway.

Wolbert is riding in Germany tomorrow anyway.

Around 2 points to play with until the end of the month.

Well we certainly got out of jail big time tonight. Thank god Worrall wasn't there or the diamonds were leaving with 4 points. But well done to the boys on pulling through and getting the victory. Special mention to young Dan though great heat win in heat 4. Anyway onto next week for the the Fish testimonial hopefully he gets a great turnout.

Correct but joe won't be back over here anytime soon unfortunately.

Are we

The home men will be at full strength for this one. For the diamonds no stevie Worrall for them as he's on EL duty for Belle Vue and will be replaced by Theo Pijper. Should be at tight match as most matches against the Diamonds are but home win by 12. Teams for Friday Edinburgh 1. Sam Masters 2. Erik Riss 3. Kevin Wolbert 4. Jye Etheridge 5. Ryan Fisher 6. Max Clegg 7. Dan Bewley Newcastle 1. Robert Lambert 2. Victor Palovaara 3. Matej Kus 4. Ludvig Lindgren 5. Theo Pijper (G) 6. Lewis rose 7. Danny Phillips

I did indeed. the whole weekend was special. Can't quite put into words the scenes that occurred on Saturday night/Sunday down leith.

Agreed. Win the cup for the first time in 114 years and the first thing some think of do is try and fight the opposition, strange bunch.

At least one of your teams won at the weekend Gaz.

Odds on Hans making the start here

Disappointed that we didn't get the win, but a point will do i suppose. Just feel like we're one rider away from being a team that can win the league again.

Not a great deal of passing but close racing and all the young guys gave 100%. Track wasn't ideal to be fair, with the rain falling all meeting. Special mention to Dan Bewley tonight more of that in the blue & gold please.

Steady on boys. It's going to be our year heard it here first.

It's because it's not classed as a NL match. So the rules are different

Decent result for a team missing one of their best riders, a on the decline yank and a poor lower order. Luckily for witches Erik wasn't riding or we could of hit 50.

So something a bit different this week as we host a NL league meeting so to speak. With home starts Max Clegg and Jye Etheridge leading the way for the home boys and former Monarchs Mitchell Davey and William Lawson making their returns also, with 3 local lads making up the team. The colts will be Bringing up their normal NL side that will include Edinburgh man Dan Bewley at reserve. Unfortunately young Joe Lawlor who is 15 isn't allowed to take his place in the side and replaced by Cradley man Ben Basford. Teams for Friday Edinburgh Select 1. Max Clegg 2. Dale Lamb 3. Mitchell Davey 4. William Lawson 5. Jye Etheridge 6. Lewis Miller 7. Kev whelan Belle Vue Colts 1. Matt Williamson 2. David Holt 3. Rob Shuttleworth 4. Tom Wolley 5. Lee Payne 6. Ben Basford 7. Dan Bewley

Was going to witches by 10 but now Erik is out. Witches by 18.

So we take a 18 point lead down south with us tonight for the 2nd leg hopefully it should be enough to see us through to the next round.

Far more comfortable than expected. There was some great racing last night despite the score line. Should be enough to see us through IMO. Top 4 were great tonight and all banged in good scores. Jyes score doesn't really reflect on how well he actually rode. Great to see young Dan get a paid win the lad has really came on since we last seen him. Special mention to Max Clegg, now that was the max we are used to seeing coming from behind 3 times last night for a much deserved good score. Now all the down to Plymouth tonight to hopefully finish of the job.

Right own up who's slipping them a few quid to keep coming back.

Bewley will be at Armadale tonight so don't know what lewy is on about unless he means tomorrow.It will be R/R for Kyle Newman now for the Devils

Should of shown a derby at Ashfield last year would of been a far more competitive than this year as Glasgow will win convincingly. But that's what Nigel and kelvin want to see though.
