Earlier in this thread Mr Blobby said "I’d get rid of the lot for next year. We’ve been nothing short of embarrassing all year." But I'm sure it was just a knee-jerk reaction to a very disappointing team performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the team have actually upped their averages this year (Cook, Castagna & Fredriksen), statistically Pickering has been one who's dropped the most off his average. Of course that means, he now has the potential to up his average next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6th best team in the league "deserves" to have a chance at the title, as voted by the clubs pre-season. Don’t suppose when clubs went for top 6 for play offs that they imagined Edinburgh and those below would be so poor.

Paul Johnson Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Just wondering if there was a need to track grade?, i am sure we graded when beating Poole then the track suited them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup would have been under an hour without the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But "officially" (as it was voted in) they deserve their shot at the title. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Just a note. Were any of the Edinburgh riders fined for their pre meeting parade practice starts on the back straight without wearing helmets? Probably 3 or 4 of them.

They might get the fixtures completed in time that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One team dropped out, so everyone made the play-offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a rule change,if I remember correctly they could not go round on parade without helmet on at one time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second part is true but practice starts with out helmets is banned with a £100 fine & has been in the rules before so is not a new one. You can have a clutch malfunction( happened not long ago) or can flip a bike during a practice start & land on your head. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite apart from that is it not a condition of the local council issuing a safety certificate or whatever is required to allow the venue to operate?

If Boughen can be excused from racing in the NLRC stands to reason Jenkins & Atkins must be allowed to as well? No Perry was above Boughen on the qualification date. Despite being announced in early Sept the field was done on 1 August greensheets. Madness I know. It also meant Sam McGurk was annound in original line-up despite having been overtaken by Luke Harrison in the Worky averages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickinho Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Why are Edinburgh using Sedgman again? Wasn't Howarth available? Or Schlein who knows Armadale well? Sedgman blows hot and cold and with Dayle Wood at 7 the Monarchs can't afford to have only one performing heat leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
