And the Edinburgh riders were rubbish in losing half the heats to Glasgow riders presumably too right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only lost two heats - the reserve heat (Coles exclusion) and the 2-3 in heat 11 (Sedgmen leading before chaingate). Could’ve quite easily lost no heats the whole meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I agree, Glasgow were rubbish, but they had seven heat winners, so your logic must also be applied to Edinburgh on those seven occasions; not fast enough. Regardless, it was a really poor night of speedway. I caught myself a few times thinking, ”I was critical of Plymouth’s track a few weeks ago, but I’ve just paid £21 to watch an expensive, boring game of follow the leader”.

So starke making the only pass for the lead after the 2nd bend all night. And no home rider looking like passing a Glasgow rider when in front, Leon comfortably beating cookie for example weren't examples of a snooze fest meeting? Was just that Glasgow were so bad? While yes we were/ are can't describe that match as anything other than boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 As was shown at Oxford away in the cup and last night , our bottom end of the side is too weak to enable us to have heat advantages on our travels . The 4-2 in heat 2 and the 3-2 in heat 11 last night were basically gifted to us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8scot Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 It was not the top notch racing that we witnessed at Ashfield but what a difference when the entire team turns up on the same night. ( even wriggle room for ef’s, chains, falls). That winning attitude is what we have been asking for!!! No more Plymouth (home) Workington & Oxford (away) rubbish please Cookie at the helm - loved it. Highlight though was Cookie driving the tractor to bring Paco round after Paco was awarded rider of the night Looking forward to some positive news from Josh when he is ready and Good Luck to young Max tomorrow, enjoy it lad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but it’s the default answer when they get beat at Armadale “the racing was rubbish” Berwick and Poole matches had plenty of good racing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive congratulations to Edinburgh on a deserved victory and genuinely, all the best for the semi-finals, but Jesus Christ, that was a poor advert for speedway. I honestly couldn't disagree more and judging by most of your posts on this forum (especially to me) your only addition to every debate is to be deliberately obtuse. If I'd said it was poor racing, you'd have said it was the best you'd ever seen so your thoughts on last night's action don't interest me in the slightest.

I've absolutely no issue that we are rotten this season. Watched many a good meeting at armadale as attended regularly since 1997 but last night was dull as I can remember.

Triggered by a comment that didn’t involve you at 7:30PM on a Saturday evening. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
