First time I can recall the monarchs in team suits. Pains me to say it but look pretty smart. Still odd seeing the sarj in one though

Should have been made compulsory years ago.

Also don't understand why Berwick tm didn't swap Etheridge for Bickley in heat 4 and then swap them around in 6 then by heat 8 Bickley would've had his 3 rides and Etheridge could've taken his other. 

Etheridge not much better.

Tough one to call, looks the weakest Monarchs team I can remember for a while, but Berwick don't go well at Armadale normally!

Berwick don’t go well at Armadale normally is such an out of date and ill informed statement. Theo Pijper and Ricky Wells have both won titles for the monarchs, Wells scored 14 last season in the play offs, Chris Harris scored paid double figures both times last season for Birmingham, Jye Etheridge got paid for double figures from number 1 at Armadale last season, he’s going to be at reserve on Friday, Leon scored paid 14 guesting for Plymouth last season, Proctor normally only scores a couple, as does Bickley, but Kyle got to ride the track last week so should have a bit of an advantage. We should be looking to win on Friday, and it will be a failure if we don’t pick up a point minimum imo.

So is my comment of "Berwick don't go well at Armadale normally" really such an out of date and ill informed statement lol

Would make the long journey and no doubt freezing night all worth it! Others are right though, barring a complete disaster we need to be aiming for a point at the very least! 

Unlucky Sabrina,  Monarchs heat leaders held their own which reduced the pressure on the rest of the team. Nice start  by Paco and Sarge and a heat win for Lasse.

Nice to see Theo doing well for el Bantidos after his prang last week.

Great night and win with all the new lads showing promise. Sam and Josh are absolutely class - Josh’s pass in ht15 was tremendous. Paco is going to be a character - get the feeling he will delight and frustrate in equal measure! Great heat win for Lasse and despite Jacob only scoring one I thought he didn’t look off the pace and I’m sure will get dialled in.  

I smelt a rat in ht8 when Proctor went through the tapes and allowed Etheridge in but Proctor then appeared for his final programmed ride so maybe I shouldn’t be so suspicious!

Think  he would have had to take last ride as if not mistaken tapes exclusion don't count in compulsory 3 rides

Not there tonight due to other commitments but a good win in the new race suits. They are very nice. More yellow than gold though. kings Lynn had a cracking suit a few years ago in blue and gold.

A tape touch doesn't count as a ride so he had be in heat 11, I couldn't understand why Etheridge wasn't in heat 8 to start with for either Proctor or Bickley.

Yes I did think that would be the decision before they came to tapes. Swapping reserves in ht8 and 9 seemed an obvious change to make.

Think you mean Proctor.

The Norwegian certainly looked decent at the gp qualifier seems the best of new guys, wasn't expecting castagna score so well. 

Harris letting a team down at armadale... Where have I seen this movie before :rolleyes:
