Mr Blobby

Not blaming Doc in the slightest.It's not his fault that we have had two weeks of good weather that has taken all the moisture out of the track causing it to be so slick.

Well done to Newcastle with your team of gaters you where allways going to win this one tonight on the bare, slick and dusty track which was virtually impossible to pass on with the Lindgren cook race as a prime example. Was standing on the 3rd bend tonight near the newcastle fans and there was two newcastle fans standing at the front who where an Embarrassment to Newcastle speedway by the way the behaved tonight IMO. Just a wee note for any Glasgow fans who are interested Patrik Nagy had 2 outings after the meeting tonight and clocked time of 60 point something in both of his rides. (i think). Never predicting us to win at home by 10 again! thats two weeks in a row now and we have lost both.

This week the mighty monarchs take on the the Newcastle diamonds in the first leg of the KO cup quarter finals with the return leg on Sunday. Josh Bates guests again for the injured Mitchell Davey again and Theo moves up to the number 5 position with Claus moving down to number 3. Newcastle will be lining up with the inform Ritchie Worrall who scored an 18 point max for Kings lynn on Wednesday and of course Mr Tully who is a bit of a master at the Dale after 6 years as a monarch. Monarchs to win this one by 10. The line ups for Friday: Edinburgh 'Scotwaste' Monarchs Craig Cook Derek Sneddon © Claus Vissing Joe Tabaka Theo Pijper Josh Bates (G) Max Fricke Newcastle 'Sapphire Engineering' Diamonds Stuart Robson Andrew Tully Christian Henry Ludvig Lindgren Ritchie Worrall Steve Worrall Lewis Kerr

Amazing result by the mighty monarchs!!!! :party: :party: Cookie best rider in the premier league different class in heat 15. Deek, Claus and Theo solid. Tabaka quality tonight was in the thick of the action all night with some great passes. Special mention again to young Max Fricke take a bow son you were brilliant tonight, such a old head on young shoulders. One of the best prospects since rory schlein that i seen at Edinburgh. He is going to go a long way in the sport Onto the incidents in my opinion the ref got the the first one right josh clipped deek's front wheel with his dirt reflector which put him off balance and caused him to fall. The second one could of went either way josh looked to move out and tabaka looked to go down the inside and they just collided but with Tabaka slightly behind i can see why the ref Excluded wee Joe. Great advert for PL racing far better than the rubbish that has been served up i the EL this year anyway.

I can see why we said no to this Thursday as Craig and Theo carrying knocks, Vissing out of form and Mitchell out injured plus 2 bigger meetings over the weekend. Also it is quite short notice to ride a semi final considering you have been asked to ride a date 3 or 4 days after being asked IMO. This is if there is any truth in us saying no to this date or this date being proposed at all.

There are 3 teams out there that have a better chance of wining the league than Redcar IMO.

First off all would like to congratulate redcar on their victory tonight against a miss firing monarchs side. You could say Redcar came to the dale at the right time with Davey injured and R/R for Theo but hey ho thats the way it goes. Looked like the boys in blue & gold had the match wrapped up being 12 points up after 10 heats then came along the the T.R where we lost an 8 -1 form then on it all went a bit wrong. The track played a big part in the monarchs downfall tonight as it was very slick and dusty due to the weather where there was only one pass all night (which was cook in heat 1). Gating was crucial tonight and the bears made the starts when it mattered. Only getting 7 points from R/R was a big let down when Theo would have scored double figures. But the main reason that we lost tonight was Mr Vissing what he was up to tonight was a mystery. Was on a comfortable 5 - 1 in heat 4 until he decided he was going to try and go round Max and fell off resulting in a 3 - 3 instead of a 5 - 1. His next 4 rides he looked looked liked he had never seen the place before why he got given heat 15 is a bit of a strange one as he had scored one point up to then. Special mention to Max Fricke he was fantastic to watch tonight fast, smooth and stylish and well deserved his 12+1 form his 5 rides.

This week the patched up Monarchs welcome a high flying Redcar team to Armadale with former monarchs Aaron Summers, mickey Dyer and Max Dilger. Both teams will line up with their in form men in Joe Tabaka and Mickey Dyer moving into the main body of the team and Max Fricke and Carl Wilkinson moving down into the reserve berths. The monarchs will also have R/R in operation for Theo Pijper, who is on long track duty, which will be a huge miss for the boys in blue & gold as he has been good for double figures at home all season. With Mitchell Davey also missing due a broken wrist they will call upon young James Sarjeant as a guest. Hard one to predict this but can still see the monarchs taking all 3 points and winning by 10 on the night.

Don't really see how where you are based has got to do with the Calibre of rider you sign. Mainly it is going to be down to what your club can afford to pay out on a rider without bursting the bank.

I know, I know His name has been brought up about a thousand times and it probably won't be the llast time his name is mentioned. Charles Wright? Been scoring decent points in the NL and i know he isn't the best rider but he is good for 3 - 5 points a meeting which is what you want from a reserve.

If you want to buy an air horn your best bet is buying them inside the stadium (if they still sell them inside) or at the official SGP merchandise stall outside the stadium where all the riders vans and things are on the 1st bend because i know they ones won't get taken off you. Even though ours got checked as entering the stadium they then got checked again by a steward when looking for our seats inside the stadium. The air horns that we have been told not to buy are he ones at they dodging looking stalls dotted around outside the stadium as they are more than likely going to get taken off you being flammable.

Touched a nerve have I???

Biggest away win against the tiggers of all time and i missed it. Out of all the matches to miss and i missed this one.

Well done to the boys in blue & gold thrashing their nearest and dearest. I think glasgow need to make changes quick or you might as well give them the wooden spoon just now. To make matters worse for the tiggers captain Deek with a paid max at Ashfield. Talk about addding insult to injury.

Workington's guests have made them stronger all season.

Monarchs to win this won by 10 - 15 points. Can see Tabaka and Davey being the match winner for the boys in blue & gold out scoring the scorpions pairing by at least 10 points.

Well done to Newcastle another good night of PL racing on sky. Kennett is supposed to be an elite league heat leader and he is riding like a premier league second string. Hope starke gets a hefty fine no need for that kind of behaviour in speedway.

I don't see how this is the BSPA fault. Is it not sky who pick the matches they want to cover??

Newcastle look stronger with R/R for Tully as the seem to get double figures most places andy wouldn't score near as much. Not all about being on form just now any way play-offs are the place you need to be on form as a team if you want any chance of winning the league.

It was a little joke which obviously wasn't very funny or seen as very funny. The point I was tying to make was, I don't see why the promotion gave the announcement such a big build up when really it wasn't anything to get to get to excited about. But it is good to see a young Brit wanting to become an asset of a club up north rather than the other way around.

All the build up for that! jeez must not get very much excitement through your way when it comes to announcements. But good result for the lions. Could be a bad couple of weeks for the tiggers at home as the mighty monarchs are there next sunday.

Cook has said himself at the start of the season that he didn't want to ride in Europe this season and would be looking to ride in Europe next season instead of the Premier League.

Mitchell Davey is now an Edinburgh Asset. There is your announcement

MSC what on earth have you been reading??? Most things i have read we have been tipped for the top 6.

Get in!!!! Well done boys great 4 points against a solid Plymouth side. Cook sounded like he was on it again tonight good back up from Theo and Claus. Special mention to Max biggest score yet plus his first win in the blue & gold! Brilliant! :party:
