We shall see, some riders take longer to reach their full potential, dare I use the Jason Doyle example again. Josh is only 24 & next season he'll kick on! But for which club(s)?.......

Gr8scot Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 I will be gutted if Josh goes anywhere other than Edinburgh and a Premier club. Always superb to watch and never stops trying. Lovely guy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were four of us on the 1st bend along an Ipswich/Edinburgh fan. We cleared off after the meeting to go to the nearest Spoon's for some cheap Ale to drown our sorrows. Disappointed with the track being as dusty as it was, could have done with some water. Poole clearly the better team who handled it well. Been home for about an hour after the long drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for the track staff but I guess when it is overcast most of the day, what do you do? I think in the cooler evenings riders don't like it being watered so much.

Agree about his racing style, but with any change of track I can't see a 'significant' improvement in his average of 8.34!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 For those Poole fans who didn’t make the press conference after the meeting, here it is in all its glory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve! Would have loved to stay and watch it but a bit late with a 10yo and live 30 mins drive from the stadium as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchopper Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 We did find the champs bar and had a few pints and some good chat with the locals. In fact it was me who shout "Yes you did" when Stevie Worrall talked about winning the Cup in 2014 with the Monarchs, in fact he won the treble that year. It's always good at Poole with some good racing unfortunately mostly Monarchs getting passed. Our heat leaders appeared to have ran out of steam a bit at the end of the season, that's the first time all year we've lost a 5-1 in heat 13 and 15. In the league match it was 3-3 and then 1-5 so we were capable of better. Best team over the 2 legs won and deservedly so. It is great to see large crowds at the speedway at Poole just a shame with all the matches getting crammed in we couldn't get decent travelling support for either leg or even a more deserving size of home support at the Edinburgh leg. We were intending staying for the Friday evening match as well but were back up the road early after the postponements. For the Monarchs it has been a decent season with some really good moments and some fgreat performances but a winter to think of what might have been and roll on 2022. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve and I would have come and said hello if we had known who you were. Thanks for the kind words. At least you were gracious in defeat and an honest assessment of the two legs overall. It's a pity that a certain Mr Jan Andersen couldn't bring himself to be more pleasant. Hope to get up to Armadsle next season as Steve and I were on the Northern tour in the summer when we had that horrendous weather. See you hopefully next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
