As much as the fans care about the result the riders not so much as it’s about getting ready for the real stuff in a couple of weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only returned to Ashfield a couple of seasons ago, but remember the days Edinburgh fans would fill that fourth bend enclosure and to be fair to them, create a great atmosphere. I at Armadale last season and we (Glasgow) took a fair crowd on the third bend hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my previous prediction was based more on hope as I'd love the Monarchs to win this one. Expand They’re definitely capable of it. Castagna (14 from 5) was unbelievable in the May fixture I attended at Armadale last season and in four rides, the only points Sedgmen (8+1 from 4) dropped to a Glasgow rider were due to a retirement. Add the fact that if ever there’s a track Harris is most vulnerable, it’s Armadale, then anything could happen tomorrow night. This has all the makings of a great meeting.

Pinny Posted Thursday at 12:33 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:33 PM Has to be the worst line up I have seen Edinburgh start the season with in at least 25 years.

Come on lol. You’re deluded if you think Edinburgh have started a Premier League season with a team weaker than that. Expand Plenty of improvement in Victor who will be starting at reserve he’s a 7 point rider in this league and so is Oskar if he adapts well over here. Grahn should be good for his starting average and once at reserve will probably become one of the strongest in the league imo. So not as awful as you may think.

Expand I think people would agree Edinburgh don't have a strong spearhead, but that's not what will make the team successful. If the new / returning riders can adapt to Britain, that's what could help them win meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Possibly the teams where Monarchs had a number one on an assessed average they couldn't get near to (Nermark, Moller & Correy) but it's far too early to say if this is the weakest team as the "unknowns" could become good.

Mr Blobby Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM R/R for Oskar tomorrow, polish club won’t release him from an event they have tomorrow night to ride and with it not registering as an official fixture so to speak they are pulling rank so to speak.
