Super Blue Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm guessing given the lack of thread so far Edinburgh are not overly confident of overturning the deficit from the first leg at Foxhall? As has been said elsewhere it will only take 15 straight 4-2's and it's job done for the Monarch's, but is this a real possibility? I'm sure they will be up for it and with no tactical rides allowed a large home win is on the cards. However the Witches have been in good form of late and if they don't come out victorious over the 2 legs they deserve shooting. Only 2 days to go now so time for a few opinions I think. I'm going for a 50+ to 30+ point home win but not enough to win on aggregate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Expect the Monarchs to win but not by enough. Need a good start to settle any nerves and put it to bed early. If we start poorly and are say 20-10 down after 5 anything can happen. It becomes a mental battle as much as riding skill then. Will go for 52-38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Actually we only need 13 x 4-2s to make up the 26 points. And then it's Golden Heats and being the home team we should be bankers to go through from them. So stick that in your vuvuzela/tractor exhaust pipe and blow it!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Do you think the outcome will be close Scotsman? Or over pretty quickly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) We always seem to struggle north of the border so what's the track really like then? Just had a look on Google earth, seems like a bit of an odd shape on the bends, would long straights and tight turns be a fair description?

TheScotsman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 You probably struggle up there because the track is SMOOTH - no fox holes in the middle!! And because Mr. Hawkins could never find it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ritchie will probably find it ok if he doesn't have to ride it, I think that might have been the problem to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't think we'll pull it back but a comfortable home win by around 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitykat Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) I forsee some really aggressive racing in the early heats from the Edinburgh riders. I'm sure they will be told to try and psych out some of our riders. A couple of our lads must stay still at the starts. Don't want to be giving anything away.

TheScotsman Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 As I said before - I don't like him, I just don't dislike him quite as much as I used to. 2.5 out of 10 now instead of 0.5 out of 10. But the big question is.............. .......... can Ben Hopwood deal with Connor Coles the same way as he did with Bradley Wilson-Dean last week? We know Kaiser Kevin is back on it after his illness as witnessed by him beating Cookie twice last week. (Has anyone done that before?!!) We know Smiling Sam is an international superstar. We know Flyin Ryan wants to finish his career with another title. We know Erik Riss is a current and two-time World Champion. We know that Mark Riss is really upping his game now - and is the brother of a current and two-time World Champion. We know that Max Cleggy is the current NLRC and Under 19 Champion. So the pedigree is there - just need a wee bit of luck and some decent refereeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
