  1. This might be the worst idea yet You would be closing down all but your 8 clubs in the league instantly
  2. Would slot in pretty nicely behind Masters at Oxford as 2nd heat leader

  4. Can’t say I’m a massive fan of restricting team building beyond an overall limit but the one over 8 thing doesn’t really weaken the league or teams that much imo This year only 2 teams started with 2 8+ riders these being Berwick and Redcar. The name of the game has and always will be finding riders who can improve their average so restricting teams to 1 8+ rider doesn’t change that.
  5. Don’t forget the (and this isn’t Tigers related really but just because it was them) ’Glasgow are the real champions as they finished top of the regular league table’
  6. Complete one track line tonight if you don’t hit the dirt early and have the commitment to stay there you are going nowhere. Sadly (and hopefully I’m wrong) I don’t think that Hodder/MPT crash will be the last
  7. Dan has ridden 14 heats at Armadale this season and has 12 wins/paid wins and 2 second places good for a 11.43cma so while it may not weaken Glasgow depending on what Nicolai does there is no guest who strengthens them in regards Dan as even if Nicolai goes through the card, Dan may well have done the same. Wood is a definite upgrade on Perry I’d say and as for Lambert/Nagal who knows as Nagal may have scored ten or none as an Armadale debutant
  8. Is that the ‘we are the people’s champions’ or does that risk alienating half the fanbase 😉
  9. I think Hooky gave Tate his Armadale engine to use tonight as well and that certainly helped
  10. I’d be very surprised if Erik is being deemed as withholding his services, a doctors line won’t be hard to get when suffering from his symptoms
  11. A fine accusation you’ve made there any facts or figures to back it up or just having a wee howl at the moon to yourself?
  12. Paid 14 on his return for the Monarchs Academy at Redcar yesterday so looks like he is good to go

  14. Jeez yeah Jordy Nelson was a wide receiver for the Green Bay packers a few years ago, god knows how that was in my head, thankfully wasn’t me writing the release haha
  15. Welcome to the Blue and Gold Jordy Loftus https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2025-06-09/jordy-loftus-joins-monarchs
  16. The slight difference here being that when this fixture was announced none of the missing Oxford riders would have been expected to be missing. the SGP2 qualifier date has been moved twice, Gusts wasn’t in the team and realistically the expectation would not have been that Knudsen would be riding in the Polish top tier. The argument on whether once these were known could the fixture be rearranged is a more complex one but the issue with that being things like the cost of the things that putting a meeting on requires would all have been booked and paid for, sadly speedway clubs in this country can’t afford to take the hit on those. As it was Oxford we’re still competitive albeit without the backing to Masters required to ever really challenge. Would a full Oxford team have done much better? I’m not so sure, they got 15 from Gusts and McDermid’s replacements which would have taken a fair effort from two Armadale debutants, Scott was only beaten by Palovaara x2, Palm Toft and Thomson x2 so not sure Killeen would have done much more and the same for Knudsen as Morley was beaten by Palovaara x2, Sedgmen and Thomson
  17. Not a choice, Polish fixtures take priority on Fridays so as soon as his Polish club called him in that’s that annoyingly.
  18. How? Boughen wasn’t due in heat 14
  19. With the notice given, Oskars average and the fact in general may riders just don’t want guest bookings certainly not ones that involve a drive to Plymouth come up with a solution?
  20. But the riders didn’t stop immediately when they did as there were no flags raised from the infield, Hume doesn’t come off the gas till Thomson is past him look when he outs his hand up and while I wouldn’t die on the hill of it being the same with Sedgy and Cook, it looked the same as Cook had locked up slightly.
  21. Edinburgh can only use a 2pt championship rider or an NDL rider with no previous Championship average (or not over 2.00) for Max, Connor’s Championship average is 3.33
  22. What decision do you feel he got wrong? If you mean Heat 1 and putting the red light on after Sedgy moved, having watched the replay a few times he did Berwick a favour the Monarchs were on a 4-2 when the riders noticed the red light
  23. I think you are underestimating the Bandits slightly, Kemp Is flying and is a top 15 guy in the league now imo Wood will pinch points off more than Marson if we aren’t gating sharp against him and Hume knows his way round Armadale. So if Kildemand gets to grip early and Hagon/Smith chip in with a few it won’t take much for Berwick to be right in it
  24. The home team has to declare their line-up prior to the away team so either way for Friday at least Dickson could always line-up Kemp against Flint
