Cj69 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Quite an entertaining meeting against a 3 man Glasgow team. Never thought we would lose throughout but Glasgow always kept plugging away including a disastrous TR ride (2 week in a row). Always like seeing Morris never gives up and had some cracking races same with Summers who pops up with a decent race (but usually throws a dud in there) and super dane at reserve who gated his way to an impresive 10+3 (with 2 wins). The rest well just made up the numbers iv never seen Lawson have a good meet (shud pop along to Glasgow more often ) Smith had one decent race and Berge never at the races but picked up some gift points. On to the Champs, Cookie and Masters as expected (thot one would get a max tho) but decent return. Wolbert and Sedgy decent back up. Riss trying wee bit to hard threw away easy points couple times (mainly ht14). Reserves were up and down showing good signs but some scary ones. Very happy to see a competitive Glasgow team even with a depleted team and already looking forward to the League meeting. On to Worky now where without Wolbert think we might struggle. Also add that with the threat of weather meet was over by 9pm, well done Ref/Riders and track staff. Edited April 24, 2015 by Cj69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The downside of using riders where you don't have priority. Can't arrange fixtures based on a 3 point reserve's availability. Better planning and it could have been arranged when Coventry aren't riding. Surely its in everyone's interests for both sides to be at full strength? Not just this fixture either, there are matches all over the place where a bit of common sense would mean no clashes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Enjoyable enough meeting , with Glasgow's mess up of a tactical ride offset by Edinburgh's unorthodox team riding in heat 14 . Cant complain about the end result , at least we took it to them right to the end . That's the Premier Trophy over , now for the league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) well thats how you fire through a meeting. Some cracking racing tonight between Masters and Cook.Also Morris was good as expected though as the guy is quality to watch round the dale Another T.R disaster at the dale this time the tiggers turn. In the end the score line flattered the tigers with Riss falling twice once when on 4-2 and the other on a 5-1 both ended up resulting in 3-3's. Also Sedgmen with and EF at the tapes in heat 8 witch he probably would of won. Edited April 24, 2015 by Mr Blobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Despite the near continuous drizzle, the track was superbly prepared with Cookie equalling his own track record in ht 1. The racing was top drawer with plenty passing.and the meeting completed by 9pm. Craig, Sam, Nick, and Aaron were the star turns, with ex Tiger favourite Wölbert ( ) also providing a match deciding 10 pts for the Monarchs cause. Lawson once again flattered to deceive, and I can see the highly impressive Nick Morris becoming the Tigers no. 1 very soon. Re heat 14, imo Branford kept going inside Riss too hard throughout the race with the inevitable consequence that Erik was left with nowhere to go on the 3rd bend of lap 3 when the pair were well ahead of Kozza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who's looked at the averages on the BSPA could also see Nick becoming number 1 very soon. Next Friday infact More worryingly for Edinburgh fans must be that the former PL #1 isn't even #1 at Edinburgh any more Edited April 25, 2015 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I' d rather a disaster with two riders wanting the best for their team rather than Branford "I turned as hard as I could" & Riss' effort. Also Richard getting brought back in 13 seems to of escaped your all seeing eye! On top of all that we had an NL guest who rode like 00Wolbert did for the majority of last year!! Think we done alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we done alright Lol, you did more than all right!! kept it interesting till the end. Lawson was on bend 2 when the tapes went up - lol!!! as for the t/r - refer to my earlier post, you were on a 1-7, eneded up a 3-5!.. now that would have put pressure on the Champions tomorrow - btw, this 3 points for any home win is crap - heat 15, if Glasgow had won a 4-2. surely a point loss for us and 1 for you was fairer? .

junior fan Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Great win by Rob in heat 14, trying to team ride doesn't always go to plan , but hey ho, neither does letting a rider through on a tactical. Lol Junior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that no-one in Edinburgh will be getting too stressed that Craig is moving out of the number 1 position whilst delivering a 10.43 average (with bonus) so far this season in the PLC...

TheScotsman Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 After last year's succession of drab one-sided local derbies, this was exactly what was required. Monarchs needed to win by more than 6 - check Tiggers needed to keep it close - check A track record (always a bonus) - check A meeting pushed through quickly - check No injuries - check Enough "what ifs" on both sides - check What's not to like? Sorry Govan (I mean Gavan) you can try to stir it but I doubt anyone will bite. You forgot to mention Sedgy blowing a motor in heat 8 when previously unbeaten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 What a brilliant meeting, I thought we would be lucky to see 10 heats with the constant drizzle but doc and his team got it perfect again. From cookie equalling the track record in heat one through to sam and nick having a great battle in ht15 a great night and those who chose to stay away were the real losers. Not as big a crowd as I was expecting and didn't appear too many tiger's fans which was disappointing. Both teams have some real quality this year, looking forward to some great battles over the season. Over the course of the two matches I think we probably threw away more points than Glasgow but it'll be too close to call, still might get both teams through in the league cup. Monarchs missing Kev tonight will make it tough but we should still have enough to keep it close enough to finish ahead of the tigers, would be good to clinch the one point to make it certain but that is a big ask. The comets still have an outside chance if they get a couple of big wins and 4 points at Berwick so not celebrating anything yet but a great job tonight from the monarchs.
