Fromafar Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It doesn't take to much of an increase from each rider and the points total soon goes up if each rider finished on something roughly like this, Cook 10.60, Masters 8.10, Fricke 6.15, Sneddon 5.80, Sedgmen 5.70, Fox 4.50 and Worrall 4.70 = 45.55 that would be a higher total than we finished last season with, and I don't think I've been overly optimistic with those figures. Personally I'm happy enough with the team bring on 2014.

I think Fricke will be a star man this season,The thing I see about this Edinburgh Team is they have lost of home track specialists over the last couple of seasons which won't help but It would be foolish too dismiss them.

Monarchlad Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I think we are all saying the same, we are optimistic for the new season........I'll watch out for you Mr blobby on the 3rd bend, and we can keep the banter going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguest Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Aaron Fox is an exciting rider but will need to adapt to a totally different type of racing. I expect he'll hold his average with a spell at reserve. Sedgmen should be a trump card & Masters will want to kick on after last year. Â Exciting team and a lot of potential.

SteveEvans Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I must say the passions and rivalry from both Monarchs and Tigers fans on here is awesome - reminds me of Wolves Cradley and something quite special that the sport sometimes lacks these days. A Glasgow representative actually did make a tentative reach regarding Aaron Fox but nothing was pursued as the finer details were already being worked out with the Monarchs. That said over the years work between Team USA and both clubs will hopefully lead to more ScotYanks in the years to come. I'm hoping to fit in a visit early in the season and it would be nice to see all 3 tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjm Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Interesting team. Â Fricke is an undoubted talent who can (and IMO will) become a third heat leader. Â Sedgemen will be the surprise package of the season at Edinburgh. Â The biggest problem will be replacing the job Wethers and then Tabaka have done in recent years. I would doubt many 6/7 ish point average riders have won the number of crunch races either of they two have in recent years.

Gazc Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013  There is no such thing is banter on edinburgh pages strictly serious! How can you be serious after the team announcement last night . Wait until after the first month, and see how the new lads have started  I'm feeling positive about the team  Cookie can up his average by say. 0.50 ish Max will up his by 1.50 at least Derek is Derek!! But a good captain Aaron up by 5 at home overal 1.5 Sam again could be about 1.5/2.00 Steve up by possibly 3.00 Juston should be about 1.00/1.50 at least  So yep could be good.....in my opinion Just highlighting this brother stay off the wine gum's when your sniffing glue m8 as it leaves you open to ridicule but ii'l watch your back.

mc1874 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 God this page is getting a bit tiresome. Filled up with weegie trolls fishing for a bite. I suppose the only way is up after last year. So you believe you will come to Armadale an run all over us next season; ok then. With the exception of your league winning campaign when has that ever happened? I can count numerous times monarchs have come west and spanked you. Whats the phrase Glasgow tigers forever in our shadow. Â Try and get the page back to speedway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
