SCOTLAND1314 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Phew. Scottish speedway fans took a collective sigh of relief during the winter months and thankfully both clubs live to fight another day..... Edinburgh (I'd guess) 1. Craig Cook 2. Derek Sneddon 3. Theo Pijper 4. Max Fricke 5. Claus Vissing 6. Marcel Helfer 7. Joe Tabaka Glasgow Tigers (I'd guess) 1 Joe Screen 2 Joey Ringwood 3 James Grieves 4 Henning Bager 5 James Wright 6 Harley Horwood 7 Joe Jacobs The home promotion have pieced together a very exciting team on paper and its first appearance, at Berwick, has shown that it has the makings to be exciting on the track as well. Glasgow have brought back some old faces, a new experienced face and some young and aspiring talent. Here's hoping that both club's efforts will be rewarded in the coming weeks and months with improved attendances and lots of exciting speedway. I can't wait.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware that he'd never ridden the place before but he sure is exciting to watch.... so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A maximum ... jings that could come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Cheers. A maximum ... jings that could come in handy. Yeah he was superb . He guested for us in two meetings that weekend , top scored at Workington and max at Ashfield the following day . Though in the 2011 season he guested in place of Ben Barker against us down at Plymouth and only scored 4 . I know Plymouth's upturned saucer is even smaller than Armadale , but he does seem to have a preference for the larger tracks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be what the Monarchs need, a bit of help for Cookie away from home. I had a quick scan of Vissing's scores on small(ish) tight circuits and they aren't great but he does have a reasonable number of good scores e.g. when with Peterborough at Eastbourne....at Belle Vue and Wolverhampton with Birmingham. So it looks promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTLAND1314 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Courtesy of Edinburgh Monarchs website http://tickets.monarchs.biz/events/2013.asp Sounds like the promotion have been hard at work during the close season upgrading the Armadale experience. They received hundreds of replies to their end of season survey and it sounds as if they've acted on the responses. Roll on Friday....
