Nutz Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Agreed... The league meetings between these two used to be THE match that both sets of supporters looked out for... Some of the fiercest and intense meetings have occurred when these two have clashed in the league... However, nowadays with 1/3rd of our season practically devoted to meeting our friends from the West, the gloss has well and truly been taken from these matches... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sunday would have been the Monarchs third visit to Ashfield in 8 weeks. I agree this used to be the fixture of choice but that's going back a few years now. I used to think there was nothing better than getting the speedway season under way with a trip to Armadale on a bitterly cold March evening to see the Tigers new recruits. That was then, now other than a glory hunting visit in 2011 I haven't been to Armadale since 2008. Too many matches between the sides is one reason and others which have been debated on here before. However I'm out of the mode of going there now, like many Monarchs fans are to Glasgow and don't see that changing. There is also the end of season meeting between the teams to make it four visits home and away. Add in that one are annual strugglers whilst the other are regularly table topping sides, it doesn't whet the appetite anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that a second league meeting (yep, we meet twice in the league this season!) between the two sides in the farcical fixture list this year and also a (albeit possibly remote) chance that should we both reach the KO Cup Semis, another H/A fixture of the Monarchs vs Tiggers would make it a minimum of 6 home/away meetings between the two clubs...

cyclone Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Weather forecast looks good for today. With Monarchs making the long trek back from darkest Sussex, and messrs Masters & Sedgemen having also travelling overnight on Wednesday from France, it is probably fortunate that our friends from the West do not appear to be formidable opposition. So long as the racing is up to the normal high standard at the Dale, the punters should be well entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it is a lovely morning , hope it stays that way - even within the Armadale micro climate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be going along to cheer on the boys anyway, need to get more than 38 points lol as no one has got more than 38 there so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers gate on a 5-1. Short lived. Back to the beer. 8. Went for a pee. 9. Another burger. 10. There's that girl in the dress again. Bit of sunshine always brings them out. Schwing! Schwing! 11. Fricking brilliant! Max Fricke is excluded. Worst we can do now is a 3-3. 12. Pen has an EF! Ink's run out. 13. What's this! In the middle of a speedway meeting ... a race breaks out! Wolbert leads for two laps. Then normal service is resumed. 14. Kit Kat. 15. Home ... and more beer! Rider of the meeting - Anders Most valuable rider - Dead heat between the burger van and the bar Most entertaining rider - The girl in the summer dress.
