Gazc Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Monarchs are in the play offs, brilliant You are well done you have done better than some expected as the saying goes you have got to be in it to win it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Â they asked all 3 teams to come on Friday and only 1 of them said yes so not sure how they run a double header? As for Saturday half of Peterborough's team (Holub, Bjerre and Thomsen) are in Pardubice so I couldn't see them doing that even if Edinburgh offered it, it's a very strange situation if the Peterborough match does not take place before the cut off then Edinburgh are definitely in the play offs and they seemed to want to race the meeting and Peterborough who desperately need points didn't want to come up. Â Glasgow are probably assuming Newcastle won't win at Ipswich and are safe in 2nd place without running the last match. I imagine they will be straight on the phone to try and get something arranged if Newcastle do win. Â From an Edinburgh perspective if Sheffield get nothing tonight then they are in the play offs, so no pressure to arrange anything. Â I thought Glasgow were doing you a favour just in case you needed to win on Friday to qualify. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016  I thought Glasgow were doing you a favour just in case you needed to win on Friday to qualify. what by allowing us to race against the team that won at Glasgow? seems a bit backwards  Don't need to win on Friday now after captain Sam helped Rye stop Sheffield from getting any points last night. I hope Stead is ok after his fall which was probably just as big a factor to the result.  Good to prove the doubters wrong with Monarchs making the play offs with 3 home matches to spare. Arguably the team have still not peaked this season with Clegg and Bewley showing improved signs recently it would be a good time to peak, just need more track time for Mark. Virtually guaranteed 4th or 5th which means if we can win the QF it'll be somerset again in the SF so maybe not a bad thing half their team are missing a warm up match on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â From an Edinburgh perspective if Sheffield get nothing tonight then they are in the play offs, so no pressure to arrange anything. Somerset didn't have a problem accepting the booking with four guests, so why would it be a problem for peterborough, fact is they could pick guests more suited to the dale, given the fact peterborough need a result, Somerset only racing for pride. Â Was unaware of the fact Edinburgh could only race once a week, which is a pity. Â Thought I read somewhere last weekend only Glasgow of the 3 were considering accepting an offer to race. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed ace Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) And the PL Shield (see here). Oops, beg your pardon (all the more reason to wait till you have a your own 6/7 riders), the point that I was trying to make was out of the two peterborough should be the ones keen to get more meetings before the cut off date to ensure a place in the play offs after their desperate team reconstruction, but instead seem quite happy to sit back and hope other clubs results go the way that suits them.(which looks like happening now).

cyclone Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Â Think the issue is that Somerset can have guests whilst Peterborough would have to have a NL 3 pointer and probably Glasgow the same (don't know who is missing for them) Â Can someone point out which overseas fixtures which do not qualify for normal guest facilities, that Peterborough riders are committed to this Friday? Â Last Friday, Erik Riss was present at Armadale and was able to ride in the Euro U-21 which started at 9pm at Lamothe, France, the next day. Â Pity that Peterborough were unable to arrange for Holub to do likewise last Friday, as he might have scored more than the one point scored by his NL replacement (which was in a ht 2 1- 5 btw) and turned a home defeat into victory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I see we have young Mr. Jorgensen as replacement for Erik Riss. Excellent if he keeps off the tapes! Â And Dan the Wee Man is pencilled in for a return. Brilliant news as long as he has properly recovered. Â Still a hellish tough meeting though. Â Also hope the Fish is recovering from his broken bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Line ups for Friday:  Edinburgh  1. Sam Masters 2. Ryan Fisher 3. Thomas Jorgensen (G) 4. Mark Riss 5. Kevin Wolbert 6. Max Clegg 7. Dan Bewley  Somerset  1. Ricky Wells (G) 2. Victor Palovaara (G) 3. Jake Allen 4. Paul Starke 5. Ludvig Lindgren (G) 6. Bradley Wilson-Dean 7. Nathan Stoneman (G)   Just as well the match doesn't really mean anything as the guests the rebels have brought in make them stronger than their actual line up. It will be a close one but I think we will just edge it by 4. Edited September 14, 2016 by Mr Blobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really proud of you lad!!!  Max is no.6, Dan is no.7 (if fit)  I am grateful that Somerset have filled the gap and give us the opportunity to see some Speedway on Friday, win or lose.  Any team will pick the best guests they can for a particular track, and as Rebels absent riders have good averages, quite right to select first-rate replacements. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
