Marksman Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Yeah rather unfortunate, just about to set off though! All about the bonus point now, think we will still come away with the point. Laylen Richardson moves to No.4 and Mason Watson guests at No.6 Cookie and Batchelor probably on for 6 rides each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Shame that Workington are so depleted, could have been a cracking match, Vissing generally does well at Edinburgh, thankfully Glasgow's new guy arrived yesterday or we would have been in a similar position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD26 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Well glad I’m not wasting my time travelling up for this. Keeping hold of the bonus point is a massive ask now. No rain spotted around Armadale?  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTD26 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 (edited) Seems as though, as per Cookies twitter, Workington had asked for a restaging. Edinburgh obviously refused this. While it seems sensible because of what’s happened, if you’re Edinburgh, you want it on no matter what. Edited July 19 by CTD26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 I know there's contractual commitments involved but wouldn't bsn be better jumping ship to Glasgow or Redcar given the fact this is going to be a demolition now? Yes I know the guys will probs have been setting up before this was all known but can't see many buying that stream! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s more than welcome to pay for riders travel costs that have already travelled over plus stadium rent along with other costs that have already been put in place for this evening.  Celina missing makes no difference anyway, Watson as crazy as it sounds will have more of a chance of scoring, Vissing missing is a big miss.

scaramanga Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 To be honest can't blame Edinburgh Also there no8 is listed tonight aswell Jim McGregor Other teams would have went to bspa and got it called off Very interesting to see how young Leyland handles it Still long way for the lad to go but the improvement from last year is a big surprise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't know there's plenty of so called speedway fans will pay to see certain teams get a thumping While others just want a good entertaining meeting regardless of result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff100 Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Surely the best thing would be to call it off,we were called off at scunny a few year back because they had 1 rider missing all in the interests of the sport !As big a comets fan that i am i wouldnt travel to watch half a team.

szkocjasid Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 Why should Edinburgh have to call the match off? Ipswich didn't get a match cancelled when Doyle was missing, neither did Oxford without Tungate. What about fans who may have swapped around work shifts, or possibly booked hotels of travelling from Workington? Then there the Monarchs riders who flew over yesterday, who cover the cost of that flight if the meeting is cancelled & they have to race again? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t see a cry for the match at Workington to be called off as we were severely weakened without Josh and Lasse. Edited July 19 by Mr Blobby 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook and batch will surely be good for about 25 between them. As both will probably have 6 rides each. Then you’re only looking for 5 between the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
