Goodiepatchie Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'm assuming this won't be re-run now What a season we've had our fair share of rain offs no counted but must be nearly twenty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 a damp squib of a season has petered out in a fitting way . No doubt we'll get fined for not completing our fixtures . Still onwards and upwards , 2015 will be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 a damp squib of a season has petered out in a fitting way . No doubt we'll get fined for not completing our fixtures . Still onwards and upwards , 2015 will be better We need to learn lessons from this season regarding fixtures. We will no doubt be forced to not run on the weekend of at least 1 shared event and the British GP therefore we should ensure every Sunday during the key summer period of July and August has a fixture, something that hasn't happened over recent years. I also believe we should make more use of be our alternate raceday ie Monday or Thursday when we are away to other Sunday tracks, GP, PLRC etc. Â The fans have also demonstrated they have zero appetite for matches with the Monarchs. Time to bin the Spring Trophy, Scottish Cup and any other reason for running against them. I'm all for an opening season challenge before the real season begins so let's see if Worky or Redcar are up for it home and away and let's freshen things up by starting positively in 2015 and not just the usual time served opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league cup needs to be scrapped to start with , start the season with the KO cup add an extra two teams to the play offs if need be . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't disagree regarding the Monarchs would like to see a curtain opener something along the lines of the old 4TT Edinburgh Friday, Berwick Saturday, Ourself's Sunday and Newcastle Monday you can use your full septet over the 4 day's as you see fit this i feel would create more interest for the fan's and would be different to the usual Edinburgh opener.

Gazc Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Alot of money for the fans tho with 4 meeting in 4 days Probably but wouldn't imagine most would go to the 4 but it was just a thought different from the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with that..i used to love all matches with the Tiggers (and no just because 9 times out of 10 Monarchs have triumphed in recent years lol ),but to be brutally honest they've kind of lost their excitement factor.A 4 team tournament challenge would do it for me as i love those fixtures..i feel that would be a breath of fresh air rather than the stale offerings served up recently..sometimes you have to go back to the future as they say! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If it was organised well in advance, then I think it would be a great season opener. I'd save my pennies over the winter for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Problem is, clubs in question would have to fund three away meetings from one home gate. Â So it won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
