THE DEAN MACHINE Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Watched last nights meeting, first time I’ve watched speedway from Armadale in over 10 or so years, couldn’t believe how spaced out the riders were for such a small track, might be rose tinted glasses but I never remember the racing being so processional back in the day, Armadale was one of my favourite tracks in the 90s, loved racing there and always thought the racing was close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already got a polish team .. same team as masters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh totally out gated the Bears and most races could have been awarded after the first lap. Was an awful watch as a Bears fan. Bears will struggle again tomorrow given the injuries and lack of suitable guests. Flint in as guest for Kerr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 If Sam and Josh can each get 10 points tonight then the other five Monarchs are only left with the task of trying to rack up 17 points to see the team through. Should be well within the grasp of the riders but the reserves have to turn up and not rely on the top order to see them through. It's looking like a Leicester/Edinburgh - Poole/Glasgow semi-final affair in my opinion and i don't envy Glasgow having to face Poole at all because despite Leicester finishing top of the league they haven't impressed me like Poole have impressed me on their day and the Pirates seem to be building to a really big crescendo at the moment. I still pray it will be a Glasgow/Edinburgh final though, that would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Edinburgh are the dark horses for sure! I would still like a Poole Vs Edinburgh final as teams are built quite similar. Also aggregate from league is level. 2 minutes ago, Nickinho said: If Sam and Josh can each get 10 points tonight then the other five Monarchs are only left with the task of trying to rack up 17 points to see the team through.

Mr Blobby Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 There’s hard riding and there’s the Charles wright way of riding. two he’s got away with tonight thankfully josh and lasse have both walked away. One of the worst decisions I’ve seen excluding lasse there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no contact - Josh said that himself. He was mightily pumped up for the heat and I think it was just the adrenaline. He felt he wasn't left enough room, I think it was OK and he just got a bit too much grip. The exclusion of Lasse in heat 11 was completely wrong though. Edinburgh have been pretty good. Sam and Josh both riding as well as you'd expect, great contributions from Lasse and Kye as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Congratulations to the Monarchs for progressing, but that was a good effort from the Bears tonight. As expected, too much to pull back after last nights poor display. With a full team, or more choice of guests, I think it would have been much closer. Hopefully the Bears can get everyone back for the KOC final. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
