Though you bought Tom from Eastbourne.?

Was always going to be tight give the inconsistency of the Tigers all season,doesn’t seem to be any excuses though.Well done to Monarchs.

 

 

 

 

 

On a full transfer thought it was from the BSPL or whatever there called today rather than Eastbourne.

But you are correct on a full transfer from someone.

Maybe eyeing young Leon up tomorrow as well youth is the way to go. ;)

Just back home from Armadale , no issues no excuses the best team won tonight , well done monarchs, what I will say is a section of monarch fans let there club down badly tonight , booing riders before they even raced , disgusting language from some of them when we where leaving , even when we we’re applauding the monarch riders on there victory lap , I will be back tomorrow night to support my team and I will be giving back verbals to those who choose to have a go as I did tonight , as I won’t see them at Ashfield !!!!!   Says it all really , disgusting section of so called fans !!!! Shame on you .

Not the first time it’s happened through there if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it.

Thankfully most Monarchs I have met are not like those you describe.

Can’t believe how poorly Wells has been all season,think he was meant to be Main back up for Cook,if it hadn’t been for Ulrich you would not have even got this far.The rest are still learning IMO.

Had an element of their support like that for years. Tried to intimidate me n my old man cause we stood on the back straight not with rest of us "weigy scum". This was when I was probably 16/17. Real classy. As Gaz says very many who are not in that bracket and decent folk

Yeah, I was surprised at the home crowd on turns 3/4 booing before anything had started. I've never seen that at any other track.

I don't plan to go tomorrow. Nothing to do with tonight's performance. It just didn't seem like a great racetrack.

Maybe I'm weird, but I can't get massively tribal. I'm just a hedonist who wants to be entertained. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Ashfield.

Yeah it’s a pity really , met some nice monarch fans tonight standing beside us on the 3rd bend , even they we’re apologising for that sections behaviour , disgusting really , as I said I will be back tomorrow and I have no problems with the vast majority of the monarch fans just those brain dead idiots who don’t know how to behave !!!!!

Can’t believe he still had a race jacket after the transfer deadline.

Main reason I guess is there was nobody better on his average.

We got lucky with young Tom though.

We’ll done to Edinburgh thoroughly deserved, it is pretty worrying how p*ss we actually were tonight.

But we can have no complaints well beaten by the better team on the night.

Can we be as bad again tomorrow night probably without our best rider tonight in young Tom.

Serious questions about the mentality of this team it’s time for them to step up tomorrow and keep it close.

Only positive you can take is that Edinburgh may solve the problem of us fitting meetings in by 9.30 tomorrow night.

Wouldn’t write the Tigers off. If anyone can galvanise them it is Cookie. Both teams need to regroup. Can’t imagine Wells riding as poorly again. Brennan will be a miss. Very impressive tonight.

Edinburgh? We need to come back off cloud nine and try and take a good lead to Ashfield.

Weather forecast doesn’t look too great for tomorrow .

95% passes are mistakes and home rider going up inside on bend 2 or 4. What stopped me going, I like my racing full throttle

Hope it didn’t ruin your night as I say I had it at the play off final a few years ago through there.

There not so big when you give them it back all mouth and not a lot after that , but as I say the real Monarch fans I know are all good people.

I wasn't there tonight nor bought the stream so can't comment on the performance of individual riders but I always take the view you win as a team and lose as a team. Can't help wonder whether our enforced wait didn't help us. Firstly if the quarter final had been completed when it should we wouldn't have been up against kemp, Rowe and Edwards. Also our guys were possibly not as sharp as they had been due to lack of racing. I watched the monarchs official updates, BSF updates and comments on the supporters Facebook page and was amazed at how the same incident was reported differently. I always thought things would be tight and wonder if Broc being excluded at Ashfield resulting in a 4-2, and possibly a 5-1 if he'd been patient, turning into a 3-3 was a key moment. Now do we hope that the team now know what to expect and get there set ups sorted tomorrow or do we hope the weather does us a favour?

Nothing wrong with a bit of pantomime villain booing, aimed at ex monarchs. You’re skipper even came and joined the people who I’m assuming this is aimed at for beer in the bar after. 
However every club has the odd idiot seen plenty at Ashfield down the years and many other tracks down the UK.  
 

Anyway onto the meeting. Absolute joy to watch them implode on track again. Same again tomorrow please.

Cant ask for much better a last heat decider.  

I tend to avoid all the Monarchs v Glagow matches now (as I did tonight)  Had bad experiences at both tracks from so called fans , don't mind the pantomime stuff too much but some people take it far to seriously (as with most sports and just don't understand it).  

Hopefully similar edge if the sofa stuff in the next couple fixtures.  :t:

I'd like to know why we implode at this time every season? Is there too much pressure? Not enough pressure? Too many years just to be coincidence now

When the chips are down you need character and bottle. Glasgow often assemble a decent team but i wouldn't want to depend on guys like Wells in a must win heat. I always thought the same about Riss and Wolbert to an extent too. Riders like Cook, Masters and Worrall are just class in pressure situations at this level - they have a cool head when it matters and know what is needed.

Had Lawson, summers, worrall, Harris, Barker, vissing, razza... Always the same thing. Just seems weird happens every season
