I'd rather have the first leg anyway . I would prefer us trying to defend a lead as opposed to try to claw back any deficit

And it has just been called off . Didn't need to wait for tomorrow

Ignore them , that joke is well past its sell by date

The two league matches are in July . Make them the BSF Cup final and we'll go to Poole on Wednesday in the league . Cause I dont see tomorrow happening

Not exactly having sleepless nights about him scoring a maximum against a KL side that would struggle to beat most championship sides and on a trick track

Lot of negative paranoia emanating from Dorset . Cant imagine why , you lost at an inform Oxford , big deal . You drew at Redcar , who beat us home and away in the KO Cup , though we were without Basso in the home leg . This has all the makings of a classic as long as the weather doesn't spoil it . I think we will win on Friday , but by enough ? Who knows

And to think the 2 home and 2 away fixture list was agreed until the very end of the promoters meeting

Survived the monsoon weather and was surprised how well the track stood up to the rain . Thinking this was going to be a one sided encounter , credit to the Monarchs in proving me wrong . Ultimately it was the brilliance of Basso and Harris that proved desisive , heat 13 in particular was incredible . Pride restored in the Monarchs camp after last Friday , the new Dane seemed to like the Ashfield circuit better than his own .

And all joking aside , that is the sad part . Craig was a terrific rider to watch round Ashfield , wonderfully entertaining . And a constant thorn in our side during his first stint in the blue and gold . No reason he can't be that rider again if he can put what the trouble is behind him

Aye seems Rory has caught the sore back virus

After opening our home league campaign with a comfortable win over the hapless Brummies , its the turn of the other diddy team to get battered this week . After pumping them in their own midden last week , its important we show them no mercy at the cauldron of speed tomorrow night and build up the points difference . We should be as we were last Friday , but who knows who will turn out for them . Will Pickering be fit ? Will Cook get permission from Nurse Ratchet to ride ? Or will it be two guests again ? With only Birmingham , Oxford and Berwick not in action choices are limited . If it is two guests my guess would be Schlein and Kerr , but who knows . With another scorchio week up here in Hotland, the track staff will have their work cut out to live up to.their impeccable standards.

C'mon Blobby , we're interested . The porn star had a typical porn star performance, couple of duff rides , a win then tangling with a Dane on the 4th bend . We're seen all that before . The new Dane will take time to get used to the track , but didn't really look anything special . Lasse likes to take a dive and the other reserve was predictably out of his depth . But what was Thomson's problem ? He was dreadful

Why ? Edinburgh are mince

Cracking meeting and a superb performance from our boys . Cant remember seeing a better meeting at Armadale . Harris , Brennan , Vissing were outstanding while Basso and Nowak were solid , Complin showed how much riding for Glasgow means to him and young Ace was so unlucky , leading heat 2 then picking up grip and coming off and that seem to affect the rest of his meeting . For Edinburgh , the guests did their job . Worrall looked very fast and Kerr tried hard for his points . Castagna had his one good race , Thomson was rubbish and Lasse whatshisface had a up and down meeting , laterly mostly down . Woods was out his depth . Biggest shock of the night , a fiver for a pint in the bar

Despite their recent home struggles , and having a patched septet tonight , you just know the Monarchs are going to be up for this tonight more than any other league match . So we'll have to get the best out of our 7 , no silly exclusions , if we are to prevail . We should have an excellent chance of winning, but I've been to Armadale too many times thinking that , only to be disappointed . Should be a cracker though

Think that had more to do with the division 2 sides being shafted , with the promised spreading of the top riders throughout the league failing to materialise . And Glasgow having to start the season with r/r for a non existent number 1 . And the less said about 96 the better . I got bored supporting the away team every week

While that might be true , watch the next two Fridays . We will have a couple of hundred on the 3rd and 4th bend on Friday night , the following Friday there might be 50 or so Monarchs fans at our place , depending on Friday's result . Days of fans travelling any distance for an away meeting are just about priced out of the equation . If we have any ambition to go with the money spent , its time we were riding against the likes of Belle Vue , Ipswich ,Kings Lynn etc

Captain Baconheid ( Fredde Schott) wasn't too shabby round there

Big night ahead for us as we attempt to restore our dignity after living with the humiliation as the only visiting Championship side to lose at Armadale this season . That blight on our reputation has to be eradicated if our title ambitions are to be taken seriously . Hopefully we can put the new look Monarchs to the sword . I see they have moved the Italian porn star's race from heat 14 to heat 8 , that should ease the impact if its a close meeting . Hopefully the new Dane is of the Peter Juul variety and having a collie dog and a 57 year old Aussie prospect at reserve has a negligible effect . So we go along the M8 with hope on Friday evening of maintaining our 100% start to the league campaign

That was an easy meeting to get over Tuesday's disappointment , but you have to fear for Birmingham

Sometimes you just have to accept you were beat by a better team on the night . Redcar were excellent and thoroughly deserved the win . Good luck in the rest of the competition

Cracking meeting against Ryan Douglas .Loving the progress Ace Pijper is making , roll on the final

Good , about time Britain grew a pair

Plus we were all pisssed by the end

That competition you are bumping your gums about , can even remember who won it , was supposed to finish with a three team tournament at Sheffield. So when that got changed the three teams had more important matters to settle at the end of the season . Anyway back to last night , that was a terrific meeting and maybe we did go over the top celebrating at the end , but winning away from home is always brilliant
