Someone's gotta powder Rory's Goolies!! Darwin's very peaceful at the mo, Sandie!!

 

Is Rory still the Title-holder?

 

Nope James Wright (Belle Vue) is the holder.

 

I thought it was cancelled last year due to inclement weather? Mind you, I once missed a complete November, so my memory's not too crash-hot either!.

 

Yep it was cancelled and rerun in March this year.

The 2009 event was run in March 2010 with James Wright winning it.

 

I was going to reply to george.m but I don't believe in feeding trolls

Here are my predictions for the Edinburgh "Not So Open"

 

 

 

The centre field grass will be cut but not fully collected, making it look like a hay field.

 

That rules out David Howe then! rolleyes.gif

Lee Complin has been invited but is only one still to confirm acceptance.

 

The full list from the Official Edinburgh website

 

1 Erik Pudel (Germany), 2. James Wright (Belle Vue and England), 3. Andrew Tully (Edinburgh and Scotland), 4. Joe Screen (Glasgow and England), 5. Chris Slabon (Ipswich and Poland), 6. Kevin Wolbert (Edinburgh and Germany), 7. Rory Schlein (Peterborough and Australia), 8. Thomas H Jonasson (Swindon and Sweden), 9. Jason Lyons (Birmingham and Australia), 10 Kalle Katajisto (Edinburgh and Finland), 11 Matthew Wethers (Edinburgh and Australia), 12 Oliver Allen (Unattached and England), 13 Tobias Busch (Edinburgh and Germany), 14 Lee Complin (Berwick and England, subject to confirmation), 15 William Lawson (Belle Vue and Scotland), 16 Ryan Fisher (Edinburgh and USA).

 

Interesting addition is Oliver Allen, who along with William Lawson are currently unattached :rolleyes:

 

It actually looks like a good line-up (Much better than last 'this :P ' years!)

 

I saw Erik Pudel last year in Berlin when I went to see Wolfslake v MSC Brokstedt (Artur Mrotzka also rode that day :approve: )...

 

Wolfslake v MSC Heat

 

 

I still think Super Joe Screen will bring the Trophy back to Glasgow though B)

I think the field looks quite good personally, and there's a number of potential winners. Schlein and Wright will probably be up there again, and Olly Allen will be a good rider to see since it's been years since he's ridden Armadale. Of course Slabon is also riding well going by his Welsh Open win.

 

Fisher and Kalle could also be in with a shout, whilst Tully and Matty may well prove to be spoilers. Kevin could also win, if he regains his '09 Armadale form.

 

The quoted post is just another example of the sheer jealousy that the Tigers have towards Edinburgh, and in particular Flyin' Ryan. I'll treat it with the contempt it deserves, but ask one simple question in reply. Who's the current Ashfield Classic holder? ;)

 

JAMES WRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again the Fisher using his usual tactics to win :rolleyes:

 

Champion my arse :D

Naughty Youngy51, you have been told!icon_smile_tongue.gif

See - a simple mistake!

Maybe a less aggressive Mod note should have read - Please check for existing topic BEFORE starting duplicate ones!

Were you there? Somehow I doubt it.

 

I don't think Screen will win it, Brian. He's been up a couple of times for individual meetings, and scored well, but I don't see him threatening Roo-Boy who'll be the favourite. I haven't seen your new number one in the Premier yet though, so I guess I don't really know. Would take something special to win it in what is a competitive field, no doubt. Come along!

LMAO ... and just what are we jealous of?

 

We have Joe Screen, Travis McGowan and the emerging Josh G ... and you think we're jealous of Fisher? Aye right!!!! Didn't know the Edinburgh Comedy Festival had started already!!!

 

Glasgow fans jealous of a rider with his riding 'tactics' reputation ... I think not!!!! Don't make the mistake of judging me by your standards!

Jealous ... dream on! Edinburgh are not the speedway nirvana benchmark.

 

Screen's good, and was in his past a seriously exciting rider. There's no denying that.

 

McGowan's done a good job, but he's not exactly box office, is he? That's the difference between him and Fisher. Flyin' tries everything to pass, he's entertaining. Moose. just. isn't. Plus Fisher's average is higher too [check your Star this week if you don't believe me].

 

As for Grajczonek. Glad you're so happy with him. However, seeing as Edinburgh have Katajisto, I think we've got bragging rights on "emerging talent".

If Joe is in the mood, then he is easily one of the favourites for the title. :wink:

 

I am planning to travel through from Glasgow as one of the masses which will make up the 'Joe Screen's Black and White army' supporters club :approve: ...

 

...I just hope it doesn't get rained off, I don't think I could take it again :lol:
