Dekker Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 its not concern its called observation and an opinion and most people think Edinburgh are poor this season yet some of you bury your heads and cant actually hold a debate Your observation about Edinburgh being weaker this season is correct, even the promotion have gone on record several times saying that during the off season. However where you will get pushback is making out the team is unlikely to make the play-offs based on 1 match at one one the favoured teams. The Monarchs have a far better track record at unearthing talent than most so may surprise you yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i can only base predictions, same as everyone else, on the starting 1-7 and if it stays the same then no i cant see Edinburgh making the play offs. Im not basing it on one match as i said before a wheel was turned the 1-7 isnt good enough. Team changes, injuries, these can play a factor of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team changes, injuries, these can play a factor of course People said the 2014 team wasn't that great on paper either and look what happened. Obviously Etheridge is no Darcy Ward in terms of his reputation before a wheel is turned in the UK but you never know what happens down the line.

george.m Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Obviously Edinburgh are weaker this season. What I don't see though, is in previous years you could see several riders with the potential to really increase their average. I just don't see that now.

Lioness Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 BTW Blobby I'd like to wish you best off luck in the play off's but I can't as you will get pumped by Falkirk .(should make Lioness happy) Stubbs should have kept is mouth shut - not intellegent You might just have alienated half of Kirkcaldy as I think they might get a crack at hibs first lol I've amended your last sentence - you seemed to start typing another post #COYB! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Max and Erik should increase a bit George ..and I don't think Sam is done at 8.98 However Jye and Bewley will fall Wolbert is static and Fisher an enigma ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me FB but I'm hardly getting a semi at the prospect. BTW just fed the lesser talented Monarch(s) a great line there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunnasPerm Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Bewley didn't look big enough for the bike. I've never ridden a speedway bike, but I don't think I could have finished any further behind than he did. I know I would have finished more heats than Etheridge.

highroad119 Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Went to the Stand for a change on Sunday and found it to have a great atmosphere and very comfortable. Small part of the 1st bend obstructed but nothing too bad. After seeing some folk covered in shale im glad I did. Don't think I have ever seen anyone stay on a bike the way young Bewley did going round bends 3 & 4, it was frightening stuff to watch so I don't know how he felt afterwards. tell you what, the kids all love that mascot !!

I think nick was slightly taller give a inch or two the young lad Bewley will come good but it might take a while to get used to wrestling with a 500cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even managed an extra month at reserve when he really got going! EDI might be worth persevering with Bewley for longer than the 4 meetings to gain his registration then bank him for future use.

damosuzuki Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Riding a speedway bike is not easy or like riding a motocross bike. My mind is open on Bewley and Etheridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley is on loan from Belle Vue so you wont be banking him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 As I've said previously we won't win anything this year. I see this year as more building for 2017 with the likes of Riss, Clegg, Etheridge and bewley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of them will still be in the team come September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
