Thanks to everyone who made it an enjoyable evening at Foxhall . Okay the meeting was a bit gate and go , but it was always relatively close and that kept it interesting . I'd have taken a point before the meeting , but I thought the chances of that had gone after heat 13 , but heat 15 was the best race of the evening and silenced the massif round about me . And Mr Long , surely my accent isn't too difficult to understand Very big thanks to Super Blue for the lift back to the B and B , and to all the lads ( and lassie ) who came in the bar for a drink after the meeting . Another cracking visit to Ipswich done and dusted .

Aye shame it's a severely depleted Wolves , that's doubling up and riding in multi leagues for you .

I will , sorry you wont be there petal Always that wee twinge of sadness when I go to Ipswich , Badge

I'll see what I can do All go tomorrow and the next couple of days . Working till 6 tomorrow then meeting Willie in the Horseshoe Bar in Glasgow at 8 . Few bevvys there , then the sleeper bus down to London . Thurs - 10 o clock train from Liverpool Street to Ipswich . Taxi from station to Abbey Guest house , throw bags in and taxi to Golf Inn . Few refreshments before walking down to track . Friday - 9 o clock train to Liverpool Street , underground to Paddington , train to Highbridge for Somerset v Wolves . Saturday - 16-15 flight from Bristol back to Glasgow and taxi back to the Horseshoe .

Any requests for a food parcel from the homeland ?

Me and Willie take it easy on the beer while cheering on the Tigers ......................................well I do lol

Yes of course , but we had a good laugh in the bar after the meeting , hoping for another good natured session

Taking this in on my wee mini tour , will miss my visit to Somerset with Glasgow this year , so this is an opportunity for my Oak Tree Arena fix .

Hope not , I've yet to see us lose at Foxhall . We need Richie to come up with the type of performance he did last year , and Richard and Aaron to back him up . Dan to carry on where he left off on Saturday and Tom and Jack to get amongst their reserves . Easy to say haha . Anyway looking forward to the after meeting drinks with the Massif , win , lose or draw . Hope we get a cracker of a meeting .

Don't think there's ever been a Monarchs away defeat in the last 10 years where the track wasn't to blame , so I wouldn't pay to much attention to any of that . Track was perfect last night .

I've seen a 3-0 heat , but never witnessed a 0-0 thankfully

Don't know about a wake up call , but the prospect of Davey and Clegg at reserve shortly must be of some concern . Had you not had a reserve scoring 14 last night , you'd be looking at a record defeat .

KO Cup matches never have in recent seasons . Not even official matches according to the BSPA and Berwick 5 years ago .

Nah she's too busy trying to get an independence referendum again

Aye ok there's always an exception to the rule And the way things are at Ibrox , i'd happily take the not so slim Jim that came back from Sunderland and Nottingham Forest

Anyone who's visited Kirkcaldy ice rink for an ice hockey match will struggle to have a soft spot for anything that comes out of that particular town .

Not what Berwick need at all . Shame the track seems to have been bad last night , only a couple of weeks ago it produced a great meeting against Glasgow . Hard to see where Berwick go from here , obviously riders attitudes instigated the necessary changes , but the balance of the side looks all wrong . When you have a tail as long as that you really need your three top men scoring close to 40 points , no easy task . I hope things work out for them , last thing the sport needs is to lose another track , but home defeat after home defeat brings it's own dangers financially , hope they can turn things around soon .

Hope to meet you at Ippo on Thursday

Have to commend Elliot the updater , noticed when I got home he was actually doing about 4 meetings at the one time , that's amazing and must have been manic .

That's the one thing Armadale has better than Glasgow , a proper bar where supporters can enjoy a drink and chat with the opposition fans about speedway . That Tigers den thing is a café with folk coming and going and you cant get comfortable there . The memorabilia in the Armadale bar is impressive , apart from one certain item haha

Thought heat 15 was going to last all night

The injury rider replacement rule is one of the more sensible rules introduced . Takes a bit of pressure off the reserves . Felt for young Jack tonight , he looked so down sitting on the back of the victory truck . It's a tough learning curve for him , hopefully he doesn't put too much pressure on himself .

It was a wow sort of performance by young Dan . Hopefully he can push on from this now Nice to meet Mr Speedball tonight , hope you enjoyed your visit and safe journey home . Good luck to Kings Lynn for the rest of the season

That was sweet . That was as dominant a performance in the derby as I can remember . We were well up for it , and they hadn't an answer . Had it not been for the hard working Mark Riss it would have been really embarrassing . By all accounts Edinburgh's gating at home last night was awful , tonight it wasn't even that good as we were bike lengths clear in many of the races . Worrall , Lawson , Summers and particularly Bewley were immense , we could even lose the luckless Lunna early on and still canter to victory . Only M Riss and Wells offered any resistance , the rest were dreadful . I've been guilty of criticising the track so far this season as it has been a one line track , tonight it was much better .

Why is this relevant to tonight's meeting ?
