cyclone Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Teams as per Official Edinburgh website:- STAGGS BAR MONARCHS: Ricky Wells, Victor Palovaara, Josh Pickering, Richie Worrall, Erik Riss (captain), William Lawson, Joel Andersson. LAKESIDE HAMMERS: Richard Lawson (captain), rider replacement for Kyle Newman, Nick Morris, Ben Morley, Adam Ellis, Zach Wajtnecht, Alfie Bowtell. This might be a case where r/r strengthens the Hammers as Ellis, Morley & the reserves could possibly score more than Newman would be expected, and also if Hammers were to fall six behind, they might also have the option of TS in an eligible ride for Newman (Morris or Lawson?). Interesting that Ricky Wells thinks this could be Monarchs hardest home match, based on the fact that they have three riders he believes will do very well round Armadale.

waco Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Lakeside have not looked the same outfit when riders have been missing will be surprised if RR produces more points than could have been expected from Newman,,,,,However our top 3 can be awesome if they hit form together if that happens they could shade this one,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george.m Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Reading the updates on this meeting and whoever is posting either has little knowledge of speedway or it's the usual "kings clothes" approach when reporting on Edinburgh. The track is badly doctored - that's why riders are "forgetting to turn". Edited September 7, 2018 by george.m 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backfired. It was ridiculous tonight. Total non event with only Worrall looking at ease in the first half of the meeting. Others losing control, rearing, crashing or simply coasting around, including Richard Lawson and Nick Morris. Erik Riss said on the mic it was very dangerous due to being too grippy - even for him - and the net result was two Edinburgh riders withdrawn. When you pay £18.50 to watch that utter crap it sticks in the throat. Zero entertainment as a speedway meeting. And I say that as a Monarchs fan of 42 years.

Endeavour Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Think we could be struggling to make play offs if Joel and Victor are ruled out. Don’t see us getting anything at Glasgow. If it is r/r for Victor, we can you Richie and Josh. Weak tail end if Joel missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This believe it is a comment from an Edinburgh supporter. Looks like Edinburgh wanted to win at all costs. Shocking statement from a home fan . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win at all costs may have cost them 2 injuries, with Andersson problematic as a 4 pointer to find a guest replacement for, as we already know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
