Wee Eck Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Do the mini leagues not count as play offs? I see Sedgmennwas guesting for Redcar this afternoon and for Monarchs tonight. Hopefully, he’ll ride better tonight than he did this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each mini league is classed as a seperate entity so riders can guest for one team in each 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 What's the score with Edinburgh at the moment? Are they finishing at Armadale at the end of the season like they were last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eide67 Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 More depressing viewing for Monarchs fans. One of the lowest crowds I've ever seen at a senior meeting at Armadale. Do they deliberately make the track as difficult as possible for the home riders? Track was perfect last night but back to being slippery again tonight. Same for both sides though and Edinburgh are not at the races. Very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 As expected, not even competitive. Shocking crowd and deservedly so. A glimpse of the sort of crowd to expect next season unless a totally different 1-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why Wood has a Champ team spot, as there MUST be stronger British riders out there. I often get told, they are not willing to travel up, but unless the club posts a list of riders, who were unwilling to sign for them, have to blame them for not signing someone stronger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, the less teams in the play-offs the better! Personally I think it's a bit rediciulous finishing 6th of 9 gives you a shot at the title! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they weren't stronger, British and bad would be preferable to foreign and bad. They do have an academy but still elect not to track a single British rider now Craig Cook appears to have left the scene!

I also feel riders like Danny Phillips & Greg Blair (before injury) surely wouldn't have said Edinburgh is too far when they race for Berwick? They're not exactly strong 2.00 riders, but would score more than Wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromBendThree Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Edinburgh in a sane world would not be within a million miles of play offs. Too much hot air from Armadale in recent years on all sorts of issues. The Monarchs have well and truly been deposed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
