Mr Blobby Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) After lasts weeks fabulous match which will be very hard to top we have the in form rockets at the Dale. With Josh Bates replacing the injured Mitchell Davey for the rest of the season and Rye House having Jason Garrity back (all going well in his practice tomorrow) it looks a rather tasty match. Teams for Friday: Edinburgh Craig Cook Max Fricke Theo Pijper Joe Tabaka Claus Vissing Josh Bates Derek Sneddon Rye House Oliver Allen Pontus Aspgren Jason Bunyan Tyson Nelson Anders Mellgren Kasper Lykke Jason Garrity Edited August 23, 2013 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Gonna miss this one sadly. Can't get time off work and they've finally clamped down on my speedway "sickies". It's taken them 6 years to notice, ahh well. Can't see anything but a comfortable home win. Hopefully we come through unscathed for the following nights meeting at Berwick, which I can attend with a quick dash up the ECML Track should be a little wet from the forecast late afternoon/early evening rain, although you never know what your gonna get with the Armadale micro climate.

Mr Blobby Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anybody know how Garrity's pracitce went tonight? If so is he fit enough to ride or will it be a guest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Anybody know how Garrity's pracitce went tonight? If so is he fit enough to ride or will it be a guest? According to accounts he threw down his crutches, jumped on his bike and came onto the track popping wheelies. Did a couple of laps before retiring to the bar, still on crutches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Very very tricky match in prospect... Rye House are in form and go very well at the Dale. Potential banana skin (as is the last league match against the Twitchers) but full house is needed tonight. If Garrity rides - which it seems he will, he may well be a handful at reserve with good performances behind him at the Dale. Same performance as against the Rebels last week needed... No slip-ups...

Mr Blobby Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) So accordIng to the monarchs website garrity isn't fit enough to ride so they are now looking for a guest to replace him.

Shadders Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) So accordIng to the monarchs website garrity isn't fit enough to ride so they are now looking for a guest to replace him. He reported that he was in sum (his spelling) pain this morning. Time to stop all this nonsense and admit that he's not going to be fit enough to race for a while yet.

cyclone Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 i thought josh bates was riding for the rockets as he was booked 2 weeks ago,if thats the case monarchs should be looking for resereve or have i got it wrong Was reported that Bates was released from Rockets booking earlier in the week as Garrity, whom he would have replaced, was expected to ride at the Dale. Can Ben Morley now replace JG ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Ben Morley now replace JG ? Every week for the past month or so we've been told that "Jason will be back next week" and every week I've said there's no way he will be. The break in his leg apparantly isn't healing properly. Somebody needs to crack some heads together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Ben Morley now replace JG ? For whatever reason, Ben doesn't do northern away matches. James Sarjeant is the usual choice. Coincidentally, Ben has tweeted within the last hour "Guest bookings??"

Fozzie4388 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Sounds like they gave Ryan Blacklock a ring but he's at work so couldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len has usually gone for Northern based riders when up there, I'm guessing to save on travel costs. Ben Hopwood is the usual go to for Northern tracks since Sarjeant signed for Leicester.

Triple.H. Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Didnt Ben Hopwood get injured on tuesday night. James McBain perhaps apologies if thats not the correct name but it rings a bell from last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Jones Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Len has usually gone for Northern based riders when up there, I'm guessing to save on travel costs. You're probably right. Ben managed to find his way to Redcar last night to get two paid seconds from four for Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Jones Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not the Rockets finest hour and a half, but at least not the worst performance of the night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
