Mr Blobby

Well that was a lot easier than expected 30 point win but will be a different story tomorrow though. Solid performance only one last place all night and that because Max fell off in the first bend in heat 15! Track staff done well to get the meeting on. Track was a bit tricky to start with but got better as the meeting went on. Cook - fast as ever apart from when he got beat by Vissing he was all over the place in that race Aaron - looked like the couple of days at Cookies done him the world of good made some decent starts and scored in all his races unlucky when he wsa on a 5-1 and made a mess of the bend Max - was fantastic tonight very sharp out of the starts tonight (veryunlike him) unlucky not to get his paid maximum when he lost a chain in the forst bend and done a wee 360. Derek - solid as ever Sam - Didn't have the best of nights but still scored solid points Justin - Looked very fast tonight. was impressed with him again tonight Worrall - gates like his brother these days and very quick again Doolan - Had better nights round the dale Bellego - honking Kus - even worse Matty - done as expected Vissing - Made a couple of gates and had a good win over Cookie even though craig through away the lead not once but twice by trying to fence himself Carr - struggled Jensen - rode round the air fence all night to no avail

Could be a wet one tomorrow folks with a good amount of rain fallen over the week and it's supossed to rain over night as well until around 10/11 o'clock in the morning. Hopefully the track staff though can work their magic and produce a decent racing surface. If any one is interested Edinburgh have started doing a podcast on Saturday Mornings about the previous nights racing and Wednesdays as well about the meetings coming up. Good listen IMO. http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/podcasts/

It's the 1st of April or is that lost on you? Or are you just trying to be funny

Do you know if there is any updates for this and what time it starts at?

This weeks visitors at the dale will be the strength in depth bandits. With ex monarchs Wethers, Vissing and Carr riding for the visitors. Should be another good meeting but the home side should come out on top. Line ups for Friday: Edinburgh Craig Cook Aaron Fox Max Fricke Derek Sneddon Sam Masters Justin Sedgmen Steve Worrall Berwick Kevin Doolan David Bellego Matej Kus Matty Wethers Claus Vissing Liam Carr Steen Jensen

will be an interesting match. the bandits strength in depth against Edinburghs big scoring heat leaders. Fancy the Berwick to to win but not by a lot. All will depend on how the reserves will score IMO

Think it is pooles old one but not to sure.

Aaron has been strugling with bike problems over the two matches but he is going to cookies during the week for a few days to hopefully get it all sorted.

Love the blue airfence. Needs a wee bit of yellow added to it though

Didn't expect us to wim today but i suppose some things never change another monarchs win at ashfeild! Wolbert - poor Berge - got better as the meeting went on Harrison - rolled back the years today. with some great riding Lemon - Average Pijper - didn't have his best meeting Lykke - done what he was signed to do Thomsen - can't gate t save himself but trys like a bear and rides the fence. very entertaining Mighty monarch/team smug Cook - untouchable Fox - looked good in his first one until went to wide and got passed then after had bike problems (again) for the rest of the meeting Max - looked quick tonight and even made a couple of gates Deek - had a stinker. mainly down to having bike problems all afternoon Masters - very good back up to Cookie this afternoon looked quick in all his races and great first turn in 15 Sedgmen - looked a bit down on pace today apart from the race he won Worrall - fantastic didn't look like getting beat today very quick out of the starts. Unlucky to lose out on his maximum to thomsen on the ling but was a great pass by the dane. Could be the trump card for us this year if he keeps going like that. But on a sour note he wrecked his bike after the race when he crashed into the fence. Was actual some good racing today (i know shock) Harrisons pass around the outside on bends 3/4 on Max and Justin was superb Max looked to his left and didn't realise Rusty was on his outside and by the time he did it was to late. then thomsen on Sedgmen same bend last lap to take third riding around the fence another great ride. the race with Worrall and thomsen was another great race thomsen hunting worrall down for 4 laps then getting him on the run to the line to take the win. Very enjoyable afternoon at ashfeild hopefully more of the same on our next visit.

Well Kurtz should be 7 but he isn't. But Plymouth are shocking so it's no real suprise they are getting hammered

Tiggers to actual win a match but to lose on Agg. I presume there will be no changes and everyone will get their programmed rides

Can a mod please delete thread

very true!

Forgot to say last night well done to the promotion on getting through the meeting a great pace. referee closed the meeting at 8.58pm last night only if all meetings could run at that pace.

Oh yes sun offs forgot about those!

Hoping to make the trip through on Sunday hopefully with it being in the afternoon it won't be as cold! do you know in ashfield has it own "micro-climate" or not?

Good meeting to start the season track seemed very grip at the start with everyone drifting out to the fence. Once it slickened of a bit the racing got better. Didn't look like we were going to win by 12 at all until we got going in the second half of the meeting, in saying that could have been more if it wasn't for foxs exaust falling off when in 3rd and sedgmens primary chain snapping while in second giffting the tiggers a 1-5. Cook - as expected breezed through the meeting Fox - struggled with bike problems all night looked better in last two rides especially in his last until his exaust decided to depart from the bike Max - still can't gate but was quick when got going Deek - fortgot how to gate in his first two rides then got back to his usual self in last 2 Sam - very impressed with him for his first meeting can only get better Justin - not going to be at reserve very long and quick all night unlucky in hos third with an EF Worrall - looks like he loves a dive bomb up the inside into turn 3 and was very good and fast in his last 2 tiggers Wells - impresive looked quick all night Lemon - soli as expected theo - wasn't at the races tonight but still scored a solid 7 Berge - first to test the air fence out struggled a bit but can only get better for young man Rusty - done his usual good couple of races a last and a fall the reserves lykke was steady all night same as thomsen looked quick in his last trying to pass deek

Thanks for your feedback! Note to self take bagpuss's advice.

meant 13 and 14! my bad

Either way he has bought a lot of new gear so he can do both leagues to then to find out a day before P&P his services are no longer required! now he has all this gear that he no longer needs and probably lost a lot of money because of it.

If i was proctor i would be sending them the Bill for the new rebels suit he bought plus all the extra equipment he bought as well for PL!

The way Glasgow have set there team up for Friday is a bit strange leaving themselves a bit weak in heats 13 and 14. and 15. Should be about 25 odd up by the time these heats come along it won't really matter!

He wasn't that bad on Saturday looked like he could still do a decent job for someone. Kept up with Max when he was out
