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


Recommended Posts

Yes indeed, well done to Edinburgh.

Best team over the season, and I really don't understand why we need playoffs when there is no promotion system.

What a year for Glasgow however.

From Zero to Hero thanks to the brothers and I hope the crowds they are getting re-inforce that they are pulling speedway in the right direction.

Well Done Edinburgh, a well deserved title.

 

As for Glasgow and their being out in their places. This is how it works. As Frost, Sandhu and even Stuart Bamford back in the 80s. Come in with money and ambition and they screw you over.

Pains me to say it, but has to be said .... Well done Monarchs. Better team over the two legs, won fair and square. In my opinion you'd won the league anyway by topping it over 24 meetings. So only right you took the spoils tonight. That was hard to type, but needed to be said. Beer anyone?

Congratulations to both teams for keeping the interest of neutral supporters going well into October. Just sorry Summers got injured in first leg as he would certainly have helped to make it closer and give the Tigers a better chance. Having said that, Edinburgh have been the team to beat all season so well done the Monarchs but also well done Glasgow for returning as a team to be reckoned with.

 

Diamonds 5 year plan will keep both of our Scottish neighbours on their toes so roll on 2016

Went round applauding the fan's off both sides after heat 15.

Yep. That was very nice to see.

 

playoffs are a total nonsense, Edinburgh best team right from the off, plenty money for the promoters though

The money is the key factor. With speedway at Armadale seeing its biggest crowd ever tonight I am sure the Edinburgh promotion will have been rubbing their hands with glee even before the result!

Well done to (and by) the Monarchs. To be honest I said to Stewart Dickson early in the season that not winning the league this season might not be a bad thing. this forum would have gone into meltdown with "you bought the title" ignoring the fact the money spent mostly went on the stadium. Anyway roll on next season although again being honest a Friday doesn't suit me.

Congratulations to the Monarchs once again they set the standard for the rest us to chase.

 

For Glasgow I think the writing was on the wall as soon as Summers was injured, you cannot afford to lose your best and most consistent rider over the season in a Play Off, will be interesting to see what their promotion do about the team next season.

 

But after all the banter some good and not so good, it has to be a shot in the arm for Scottish speedway to have both teams contest the Final.

Let Glasgow present their case for Friday at Bspa meeting/AGM and let the PL clubs decide as nd vote.

 

Seems equitable and Edinburgh will join the vote as they see fit.Decision will be made and no scapegoats.We can then all plan for next year.

 

That way 1 club cant penalize another and we can avoid chips on shoulders.

 

Simples? Maybe not

Well done Edinburgh, thoroughly deserving Champions, did it in the League proper and now just emphasised their superiority in this, top side!! ;)

 

Tough on Glasgow losing their top man, would certainly have made a better fist of it if Summers had been there but hey, that's life, still done well this year so cant complain too much, got to have good vibes for next year after this!! :)

Well done the Mighty Monarchs, after being deservedly beaten on Friday, they displayed the resilience that is the hallmark of true champions last night, none more so than Sam Masters who was superb, and gave us all a race to remember as he majestically reeled in Lawson and later Morris in a pulsating heat 7.

 

Special mention to Kevin Wölbert who recently returned from injury and was the smoothest performer on show and ended up the overall top scorer over the two legs, amassing 23pts + 1 bonus from 9 rides :t:

 

Credit to the track staff, officials, and riders from both sides on the completion of the racing on a well prepared/regularly graded surface in under 13/4 hours

 

Consider myself extremely lucky to a have supported a team that have been back to back Championship winners/League Table Toppers, and won an unprecedented haul of the other major trophies over the same period.

Richard Lawson showed some class at the end of the meeting.

He certainly did and Aaron got a good round of applause from us when he walked the track pre match. Losing him was a mortal blow for you guys.

Its not the first time this year a team has turned up at Armadale blighted by injury. A full strength Glasgow would have been a different story, but that's the way it goes sometimes. You're in with a chance, then Lady Luck boots you in the Dennis Laws.

Let's hope we can all do it again next year.
