Great to see we’ve now got a NL team again this far north. Hopefully the stepping stone that we require to bring on some of the young riders we have up here like before with the like of William Lawson, Derek Sneddon and Andrew Tully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cj69 Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 Great news. Holding fixtures on a Fri night should attract a decent attendance. Expect both Miller brothers to be in the team. Could Lawson make an appearance to lead the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being run separately from the Monarchs after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Credit to the Edinburgh promotion a long awaited return for NL speedway north of the border. Here's hoping both sets of supporters give this there full support. Edited December 16, 2019 by Gazc 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping both sets of supporters give this there full support. That's going to be hard when the Devils will be racing on a Friday night. It will be rare that Glasgow are not at home if Monarchs ain't. A Saturday afternoon outwith the football season might attract fans from both. It would also be better for the visiting teams, who may well contain schoolboys. But no doubt planning restriction mean that's not an option anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Thumb Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Back in 2005 the rode on Saturday afternoon, we came up with Sittingbourne and watched Edinburgh vs Glasgow on Friday night, Devils vs Crusaders on Sat afternoon then down to Berwick for Saturday night (but that was rained off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Poor crowd levels on a Saturday afternoon was why they stopped before , so I hope it works this time . The only way we're going to have new Scottish talent is by having a NL side for them to cut their teeth , so let's hope this is a big success 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a number of residents objecting to the application for permanent consent for the Monarchs, so to give strength to that application John Campbell pulled the plug. The application was successful and consent was given. It was the sensible thing to do. I think if it hadn't been for that John would have kept going even although crowds weren't great. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for away fans who can’t make the trip north who can still watch their sides also. extra revenue stream as well which in this sport is a positive. Well done to all involved. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty awesome, must be considered a 'win win' for all and very much keeping up with the times. Certainly not quite like being there 'live' (although bound to be much warmer!) but surely will have a net gain (so long as technical enforcement based on actual geography is assured e.g. Scottish derbies) in revenue terms.

JanAndersen Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Great move by the club. Hope it doesn't drive too many away (it really shouldn't) but there are obviously ways to get round the radius exclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
