MD Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Clegg's absence is of little difference. Wolbert on the other hand is, though for 21 points i severely doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalman Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Think the latter George with the Trophy all but secured but still expect a fair few travelling West more than the usual 3 men & a dog they stopped bringing the dog last time as it was a pound for it to get in. How can you see the faces from down there do you get an adult to put you on there shoulders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Oh dear - not good. Hope he's not seriously injured. Yes, I sincerely hope he's not badly injured............... but we'll certainly miss the warm welcome he'd have got from all his loyal Glasgow fans, still grateful for his supreme efforts for us last year.

Falcon Hammer Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Finally made it to Ashfield this season, after a rain-off & dodgy weather put me off a couple of weeks ago. Gorgeous day & what a wonderful stadium, presentation. Good luck to the Facennas, hope they can recoup their investment & more - wish speedway had more people like them Kind of Kevin Wolbert to miss this meeting (hope he has a quick recovery) - evens things up a bit now. Hoping for a last heat decider & may the best team win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekker Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well done Monarchs, surprised how easy it was in the first half before they took the foot off the gas. Nice to see such a large crowd for both legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Well done to the Monarchs. A very professional first leg, and even though they had the cup won after a few heats today, put on a good show throughout - they most certainly did not take their foot off the gas - too professional for that! Great atmosphere today, plenty of Monarchs there and despite the result being a conclusion, the noisy Tigers support gave much encouragement. Special mention to: Aaron Summers - Simply brilliant today, as you've been for many weeks. Mr Entertainer The remaining 6 Tigers riders - 100% effort throughout. The Facennas - Be encouraged by what you saw today off the track, the foundations are in place. All supporters - Great to see so many there supporting speedway, so vocal and good spirited . A great advert for our family support. Well done Edinburgh, thoroughly deserved - but keep the trophy polished for us next year! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 A respectable result for glasgow after the debacle on Friday, and what a great day out. Top class from all involved, big crowd, magic atmosphere, no bad accidents. Any newcomers would have loved it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Well Well Well. Trophy number one of three retained. Smashing afternoon in the Sun on the 4th bend the atmosphere was great as well. Still and will always be the big team. Proud to be monarch!

Gazc Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Concur with most off the above Edinburgh still the team to beat enjoyable day regardless but to suggest that the Monarchs took there foot off the gas is doing his team a dis-service thought we eventually came to the party but too little to late but encouraging signs for us for the future. Aaron surely must be the first name for next year's team has been solid all season Well done to the Monarchs and there healthy following . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Made my through west and not disappointed. Wasn't much passing (although certainly more than Fri). A meeting of two halves with Edin so dominant up to heat 8 when cup was won but Tigers showing a fighting spirit and giving the crowd something to cheer about. A really great crowd and great atmosphere really made it a cup feel. Same with every time iv been through this season Ashfield really impresses me and enjoy my visits. Have some constructive criticism that I hope will be improved for next season (that iv no doubt the owners plans for 2016 are well under way). Meetings still take ages to run, its always been a glasgow problem and yes today was a final but it really seemed to drag on just that extra wee bit with a few lengthy delays (not that it spoiled it too much). The program just seems to lack a modern feel and look about it. And being very picky here, viewing on the back straight wasnt the best but I blame that on the big crowd and me being a short arse. All that aside loved the meeting, loved Edin winning and loved a glasgow fightback to earn themselves a draw which was a far result imo (btw take a bow Summers superb meet from him). See you in the Play-Off Final hopefully 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 It's great that fans of opposingTeams can stand on the same terracing without trouble just banter,that's what makes speedway fans so good. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Richard Lawson suffering from fatigue? Due to the amount of meetings he's done this season Blowing an engine in Heat 1 didn't help and was alway's in the mix thereafter on his second bike just have to take it on the chin and say you were beaten by the better team rather than looking for something that isn't there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spt82 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Concur with most off the above Edinburgh still the team to beat enjoyable day regardless but to suggest that the Monarchs took there foot off the gas is doing his team a dis-service thought we eventually came to the party but too little to late but encouraging signs for us for the future. Aaron surely must be the first name for next year's team has been solid all season Well done to the Monarchs and there healthy following . Debatable as to wether Edinburgh took their foot off the gas or not, my theory would more likely be that the Glasgow riders were put under to much pressure by the management because they wanted it so badly, talks of extra incentives to win and so on, once heat 8 was done and the tie was over the Glasgow riders rode far better with the pressure off, when Sam was interviewed on Friday he said the team were just treating it like any other meeting, maybe that's something Glasgow will learn from.
