Steve Shovlar Posted August 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 A shame no Craig Cook. Really the Edinburgh promotion should have done better in attracting a guest. Weather set fair.

If every 1 says no how can Edinburgh do better than that? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the plan. All Monarchs on a guaranteed minimum so just need to take it easy and let Poole have to dig deep to pay the Poole team. Bonus points back in the averages calculations for next season so can't even fiddle the averages. So it's a win/win for nearly all of us even if we get hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to believe that none of King, Schlein, Kerr, Howarth, R.Worrall, C Wright, Riss (5 of them ex-Monarchs) were available. Looks, from where I'm standing, like a deliberate decision to go with R/R. And it may be the correct one as the match points were already written off, giving the team more rides and building up their stamina for Friday's double header . Alternatively, with my day having already got off to a good start with the England football team failing to win the women's world cup , the Monarchs could pull off the shock result of the season. Either way I'll be watching on the Poole stream, which is generally very good. To be fair, Schlein and R Worrall both at Berwick last night, they’re not going to fancy that long of a journey at last minute notice, Riss is riding in the Longtrack GP so you can rule him out. Charles Wright just back from injury last week so probably wouldn’t fancy taking the risk. Leaves Howarth, King, Kerr for me, then even maybe Sedge.

To be fair they probably want too much money as a guarantee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Someone forgot to tell Josh there is no overtaking at Poole! Fair play to him as Steve had a comfortable lead for 2 and a half laps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a decision to run R/R the club asked several riders who all turned it down for one reason or another.  riders moan about not enough meetings and bike time they get offered it and say no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Not excluding Josh for that. The refs this year have been awful. Josh is in front, Newman has went for a blast and ran out of room. First bend all 4 back all day. More you watch the replay that worse it gets. If anything it should’ve been Newman being excluded for going for a gap that wasn’t there. Edited August 20, 2023 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Scored over 30 and more than what Glasgow did. Small victory, do we get a trophy for it? Only chance we’ve got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we can lend you a trophy for a bit  Though if Glasgow score 32 or more on Weds, you'll have to give it back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromBendThree Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Edinburgh talk the talk but these days rarely deliver. Don’t know why but it may be that they believe their own hype. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
