Mr Blobby

It’s really simple and in the name. It’s for the press and for the riders to practice. It’s not aimed at fans.

Weirdly enough the academy were the only place to offer him a spot I believe.

Based on what? Good experienced rider who will help progress the younger guys in the team. What every team needs. Double his average and lap most of the riders. We are talking about Adam roynon here and not Tai Woffinden.

From what I believe when enquired about Roynon they were told he’d be on his 6.00 assessed as was given for Plymouth. As he hadn’t done enough to get a proper average he stays on his assessed one given. Academy just following what the BSPA have decided.

Dayle wood not Doyle.

For any pirates fans interested Adam Roynon has signed up with the Edinburgh Academy for the 2023 season.

Thank you. I’d like to the thank Glasgow speedway for this award.

League sponsorship paying off well already, good to see. Bit of the cash put in given back with a payday from this.

Mickie Simpson and Alex spooner the next 2 for the academy. Welcome to the monarchs. https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2023-01-29/simpson-and-spooner-sign-up-for-monarchs-academy?fbclid=IwAR1Ms2Qc5KnhwCvfnVWUKTD6548kkJgVBNOvJRbJFUE6m_Mf_BOYE-hq0G0

Good way of paying less tax via “sponsorship”. However benefits the sport in some way and a bit less goes to those pesky royals which is a winner. however I do see the point of it wouldn’t happen in any other sport in the world where a club owner sponsors the league. However it’s speedway so sporting integrity doesn’t exist does it.

So the company doesn’t lose any money then as it goes right back into the hands of the same people. Doesn’t sound fishy at all.

Lyden first named, welcome back.

Not track food but Kevin Wolbert once told me about how good the burgers at the airport were.

So to conclude all 3 have now done 2 full seasons in the championship. Cook is the lowest average of the 3 but is the best of the 3. Makes completely logical sense if you’ve got blue and white specs with scull and crossbones on them I suppose.

Think the academy will surprise a few.

Always be pressure from the owners and management to win things.

I know who you’re referring to and he’s not the most expensive maybe on par with the those two though.

Think the whole point of moving away from the devils and to the monarchs academy is so it all links with the first team being the Edinburgh monarchs. Bit like a football system where you have the academies who will then move up to the development sides and then eventually the first team. Similar here with the new system the club have put in place where we have the academy the now monarchs academy NDL level and then the Edinburgh monarchs. Nice stepping stones for the kids to look and aim for.

Don’t think embleton is doing any NDL this year but could be wrong.

Shame about josh as work commitments meaning he’s having to move away from the side for the time being with them being a Friday night. Hopefully see him return in the near future.

Really like the new way the club have gone showing great initiative once again. Gives a good clear pathway for the younger generation from the academy to the NJL to the NDL and then onto the monarchs. shame about josh not being able to commit due to work hopefully see him back sooner rather than later. https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2023-01-17/edinburgh-monarchs-academy-enter-national-development-league?fbclid=IwAR2qgEW8UbmfCSytI488SulkxOIM_c6_1tmOs6Vw4kJJI0-H4QiFqVJBmtE

There’s also a good few that have said no cause of the travel.

Just not plenty of riders willing to travel for one.

What ones of the 7/8 point average riders are being taken by commonwealth riders? Only reason they’re being used is cause there isn’t enough capable heat leaders about.
