eide67 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Final match of the season at Armadale. Hopefully not the final match ever at Armadale. After being refreshingly open and transparent last year about the future of Edinburgh Speedway, the promotion have somewhat gone into their shell this season. Probably not helped by a difficult season on and off the track. After Kyle Howarth pulling out of the away match, Justin Sedgmen was injured last night so it's R/R again at #1 for the Monarchs. A dead rubber maybe, but the weather is set fair and hopefully the home team can put up a decent performance against the title favourites. STELLAR MONARCHS: Rider replacement for Craig Cook, Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Josh Pickering (captain), Dayle Wood, Bastian Borke. WESSEX MARINE PIRATES: Richard Lawson, rider replacement for Anders Rowe, Ben Cook, Zach Cook, Steve Worrall (captain), Kyle Newman, Joe Thompson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they will do similar at home, with Kye and Lasse also doing better?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eide67 Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 A good meeting to finish off 2023, which was closer than the final score made it look and had some fine racing. But more disappointment after the meeting when a very emotional Josh Pickering announced he would not be back with the Monarchs next year. John Campbell announced Armadale is available for next year but there's still a few things to sort out before they can confirm Monarchs will be competing. He also said there were grave doubts over the NDL as a whole never mind the Monarchs Academy's participation. The season has obviously taken its toll on John and Alex, let's hope a new year brings more optimism and we're still able to watch the mighty Monarchs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope the Monarchs are still at the tapes next year and not another track to fall by the wayside.Assume Pickering has been tapped up by another team and can't blame him if it's a club who may be near the top and winning trophies although when I mentioned this is the aim for riders earlier this season was shot down by certain contributors on here,still as a Poole fan I don't think he's heading for Wimborne Road.Lawson is nailed on to be here next year and assume Worrall is although someone said he's going back up north next year if that was the case Pickering maybe or an alternative would be Ryan Douglas flies around our track could he resist the lure of Poole or am I deluded you decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not riding championship at all, dropping the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is looking to move up not sideways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
