Yeah, Ty didn't seem himself over the weekend at all. His body language at Armadale in particular was not ideal from the team captain. His non appearance in heat 13 which as yet is unexplained tended to show little regard for us travelling fans whom had spent time and money to make the journey to support the team. Hope it was just a one off because generally his attitude to his racing has been excellent. Like you say it may well be some race fatigue because with all the guest bookings as well as scheduled fixtures he has undoubtedly been a busy man .

I know teams requiring guests and their fans want the best available but have to wonder if, for safeties sake, the number of guest bookings a rider can take should be limited? I seem to recall Edinburgh limited their riders taking bookings in the run up to the final weeks of the season after Frede Schott got injured at Glasgow while guesting for Swindon.

Probably at no5 so as he could take R/r ride,which he couldn't do if he was no1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ippo seem a bit at odds regarding guests. They are entitled to use two guests when their two top riders are injured but for some reason they are not doing so. If he was at 1 and assuming their 2nd highest rider was r/r at 5 he would have been eligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away fans who dont want the hassle of rain off procedures who wouldn’t be able to make the rerun, also I usually decide on the day of the meeting if I’m going to Armadale or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) I have to say that the price that edinburgh charge( and i am an edinburgh supporter) is too high in my opionion. £2, car park, £18.50 at gate and £3 for programme thats £23.50 before you have bought a bovril and also i dont get the supporters bus as i drive but im sure thats about £5 as well so if you add that on its pretty steep indeed. Not everybody can make it everyweek so no point with a blue or gold card, and not everybody has or uses internet to get the discounted price however i think this is only around a £1 or so. As posted before away fans will turn up at the gate and pay the full price( i know i do when in do the away meetings). if they made the gate price cheaper this would deffinetly help the “non regulars” to pop a long and they may well come back as well.

I certainly would not buy advance ticket,there are so many factors against it,weather,rain off,making the return fixture.They seem happy though with their prices.I used to go quite regular as a neutral but not anymore at these prices.

Your more than welcome at the Stade de Facenna, at least you will see more than coloured helmets whizzing by at 25mph at the chamber of tricks.
