JanAndersen Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Fair to middling chance that this is the final competitive meeting at Armadale. Obviously I hope that’s not the case but Edinburgh will be 50 points on Friday minimum. Both teams at full strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Edinburgh's final match should be a NDL meeting, would probably still get a big crowd to say farewell to Armadale & hopefully out something in the kitty for when (I hope) land becomes available for a new track?

Monarchs' recent results at Leicester: July 2022 - 47-42 Sept 2021 - 47-43 season 2020 - n/a July 2019 - 47-42 Absolutely nothing to fear. However, I hope we do our civic duty and bow out at this stage. Leicester finished top of the table and, therefore, deserve to win the title. Meanwhile, we finished a whopping 14 pts behind. There can only be one rightful winner in this tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Have a sneaking suspicion Edinburgh might go through this tie. Riders got bit of extra motivation with missing next season masters and Pickering in particular have very strong affinity for the club. Wouldn't an Edinburgh Glasgow play off final be a fitting send off to armadale? Having said that Poole Leicester is a certainty now ha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you should fear the home leg. If Sam and Josh do their thing you're over halfway there. Lasse's looked better and better when I've seen him.

However the team that wins the play-offs technically "deserves" to be Champions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 The Monarchs are no push-overs.Not many riders enjoy Armadale and Their Top 2 can easily go through the card at most tracks,wish them well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Doubt the lions will be as bad as that on Friday but hopefully they will be. Need the likes of lasse and paco to be beating their opposite numbers and the reserves to try keep clegg quiet. Then we’re in with a right good chance.
