Glasgow V Edinburgh The Final 16th/17th October @7.30pm/7.00pm


Recommended Posts

That has got to be the worst we have ridden since the Glasgow match at home. We are lucky we are only 7 down as we got let of big time IMO.

 

The atmosphere was quality in a packed house witch was great to see also. Hopefully Summers isn't to badly hurt as it was a nasty one he took. Branford also hopefully he can take his place for tomorrow.

 

Could do with a few more lights for the track as it wasn't lit very well at all.

 

As for the Facennas letter that was getting handed out at the end. Laughable, they applied for Friday night and because they are within 30 miles of each other we can object to that and we rightly did as it could effect our income with fans that travel to both venues. Then they come out with all this rubbish that they don't believe that and we are deliberately trying to hinder their financial income, restrict their fan base and limit their ability to sign top riders. then then went onto say that will no longer attend Armadale as they do not want to help fund Edinburgh with one penny of their own money (Aye very good you don't even to pay anyway.) as they feel as if we are effecting their income and growth.

 

After reading that letter and the other pety things they have done tonight they have gone down in my estimations even with all the good work they have done.

Lambert ineligible due to pbro being in playoffs?

He had left P'boro by the time they got to the Play off's and was with Rye House by then but i doubt he will be the guest anyway.

 

I think we may opt for Theo in place off Kauko & R/R for Aaron with everyone eligible to take a ride.

Not really wanting to get involved with all the Politics going on i just want to watch good speedway with two good team's like tonight.

 

It is all if's & but's regarding Aaron and how much we would have won by but after the crash i would have settled for seven point's there & then.

Thanks,doesn't sound like he will be fit for tomorrow .

No already confirmed his season is over albeit with only one match left sad way to end for Aaron as he has been superb all season.

Maybe the Monarchs will have to change their name to the Armadale Monarchs to stop any confusion about the distance between tracks.might baffle the Judge !!!!!!!!!!'

Agreed just had to get that off my chest. Thought your boys pulled together well after the Summers crash as i thought we would go on to win the meeting at that point personally. But after that we were rubbish and you rightly deserve your lead.

Speedway shooting itself in both feet again - this time in front of a bumper crowd.

No excuse for not having extra medical cover at such a meeting.

Will Embra have two ambulances tonight?

 

The letter is basically saying Glasgow fans should boycott Edinburgh. Is that right?

Where does it say that? That's you're interpretation.

For what valid reason would Embra not want Glasgow to run on Friday's?

The good thing about it George if you can call it that is we didn't have that long to wait for the Ambulance it is Possil on a Friday night they have there own special Ambulance Rank just in case ;)

I'm not boycotting Armadale, althugh can't be there tomorrow. However - get real - there is only one annoyance involved, the same annoyance who I hear bad stuff about week in week out, and it's neither of the Facennas. I used to go to Edinburgh speedway regular so have NOTHING against them at all - quite the opposite. I'd hate Edinburgh or Berwick to go under. But negative tactics rather than getting your own house in order is not the way for a championship winning side (last year) to go....... No wonder the Facennas are annoyed. It's like St Mirren saying Airdrie can't play on a Saturday afternoon in case it affects their attendences.

 

As I said before - someone in the East with a bit of nous needs to get involved in Edinburgh - the potential is there and the suppport is there. The away support tonight was MAGNIFICENT.

 

Not having a pot to piss in, but a winning side is not a long term strategy.


Sorry I had to get that off my chest - I shouldn't get involved in the politics. Here's to a cracking meeting tomorrow that must surely finish a bit earlier.

At the start of the season, and I'll stand corrected on this, but were the Embra promotion not saying if 2015 was another loss making season they would close?

 

As they have indicated they will object to Glasgow Friday nights, I assume they're running 2016.

If so, I assume they have broken even in 2015 from all income streams.

Or were the Embra fans being misled in the first place?
