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


Recommended Posts

It's only fair that Edinburgh get to host the 2nd leg, they did finish top after all and they deserve to have all the other perks that go with that, (bumper crowd/extra cash & more that likely winning it in front of their own fans.

So we've got to go easy on you on the Friday night to ensure a huge crowd on the Saturday? ;) Only joking, first of all - well done to the Tigers for coming out on top over the weekend. I am not a fan of play-offs, you win leagues over a 7 month season, not an hour. However, with the close result today and an all Scottish final ahead, I can understand why we have them.

 

I'll be in Corsica next weekend, obviously in a pub with wifi both nights ;) Monarchs are probably slight favourites but I think it will be much closer than the League Cup final. Thankfully, if Tigers win, I have all winter to save up to buy Paulco a congratulatory pint!!

Final that all Scottish fans have wanted is here. Looking forward to a cracking couple meetings on Fri and Sat. Both teams stronger/weaker in different areas so shud be a tight meeting. In Glasgows hands to see if they can get an advantage going into sats meet which they will need.

 

Good Luck both teams

Yes Euan, can't deny the money that both clubs will make. When we lost to Somerset two years ago, I was not too down as the League winners are the real Champions, if we had won, I would have had a half shandy, but it wouldn't have been the same as our other League wins. But we all know the rules and the winners next weekend willl be the Champions.

If Glasgow elected to go for that who could take the rides. Not sure about R/R -need perhaps to consider who could fit in as suitable guests as well.

Are we allowed a guest ? I'd prefer to see 7 v 7 but i can see why Edinburgh wouldn't be too happy if we got one

Has to be R/R can't get a guest. Morris, palovaara and the reserves get a ride witch makes a Glasgow a better team.

course it will, we're all glory hunters! I reckon most people will pre-book tickets at the discount price anyway

Not all are glory hunter DavyH.

Just some, the rest are smug. ;)

What happens if Friday night is rained off?

Or a sun-off!

Or that big asteroid makes a u-turn.

How do they decide who gets the No 3 R/R rides? Is it based on average?

Was kinda hoping Lawson, Morris and Summers would get a ride.

Mind you, my knowledge of this hasn't been enhanced since Edinburgh raced at Powderhall !!!

One rider with an average above the guy missing (in this case Morris) and anyone below (Palovaara, Sargeant & Stichauer)
