May 18 is the day for the top six teams to play their final fixture so no real problem about racing on Sunday May 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 (edited) Rearranged fixture on tonight. The British Speedway website isn't entirely accurate with their promo The Monarchs lead the table after their dramatic Super Heat win at Ashfield earlier in the month, and they need to avoid defeat in the return fixture to progress, whilst the Tigers must win inside the regular 15 races. Whoever wins goes through, if it's a draw whoever wins the superheat goes through. EDINBURGH: 1) Craig Cook 2) Lasse Fredriksen 3) Kye Thomson 4) Paco Castagna 5) Justin Sedgmen 6) Max James 7) Connor Coles. GLASGOW: 1) Chris Harris 2) Paul Starke 3) Leon Flint 4) James Pearson 5) Steve Worrall 6) Jack Smith 7) Ace Pijper.

Jaizer Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 If we get to 40 points think will be best we can expect. Like to think bomber and worrall should be good for double figures, the rest can't really say got great armadale records. Moanarchs should easily qualify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely both teams would then be on 6 points, but Edinburgh has a superior points difference. Or is there a different tie-breaking procedure? Cancel that, realised Glasgow would have seven points. Doh! Edited May 31 by Bojangles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Would like to think we should score 46 minimum but you never know what you’re going to get with this lot of late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelinho Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Not sure if tonight is about which team is better, or which is worse, in all honesty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickinho Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Looking forward to tonight, it's a shame about Lee's ban as he was the heart and soul of last year's Tigers team but he shouldn't have been such an idiot. He'll be missed though. In terms of the result I think Glasgow could swing it just like the Monarchs swung it last week due to them being the hungrier team on the night.

MD Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Not a single pass in the first 7 heats of the meeting. If only we could make a gate, the odds would be 99% on winning the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
