Well, what can you say about Edinburgh's 2007 campaign? Probably that it was better than Berwick's, but that's nothing to boast about. In truth it wasn't a great year for the Monarchs and JDC & Co will be looking to put that right in 2008. But who'll remain from 2008? The Desperate one Derek Sneddon, certainly and Matthew Wethers and Andrew Tully as well. And that could be about it. I can't see George Stancl hanging around West Lothian, with Newcastle, or possibly Glasgow his destination. Kai Laukkanen could possibly stay, but I don't see it. And what about Daniele Tessari and Kalle Katajisto? Both could be at Edinburgh in 2008, although I'd rate Tessari more likely than Katajisto. Magnus Karlsson, seemingly surplus to requirements at Wolverhampton could make a return north of the border, although you suspect there'll be stiff competition for his signature. Let's hope for better times ahead for the Monarchs and here's where we can discuss rumours and eventual facts regarding the line-up for 2008.

Sneddon , Tessari and most probably Tully will most likely strut their stuff at the " stadium of mince " next term . I've heard a wee rumour that Wethers could line up at Scunthorpe next year , while there is more chance of Stancl being a Monarch than a Tiger in 2008 .

I just know I'm going to regret this, but why is Edinburgh's desolate home referred to as the "Stadium of Mince"?

;D That's just the description of the team that race there - mince . A heathen term to describe something that isn't very good . e.g. The Tigers are a good team , but the Monarchs are mince .

It's just Paulco's attempt at humour. What he forgets is that what goes around comes around and when it's Glasgow's turn to have a poor season he better be ready for it all to be chucked back in his face. Strange to say I believe he's way off the mark. Injuries to key riders at the wrong time was the main reason that Edinburgh had such a poor season. Just how much 'mince' were Glasgow when a certain Mr Parker and one or two others got injured late in the season? R/R and guests are often no real substitutes for having your own riders fit.

And Aaron Summers becomes the heathen capital's first signing for 2008 - for more details see the Aaron Summers thread.

All gone rather quiet in the land of the Monarchs, who now boast a member of the BSPA Management Committee among their ranks. So, let's shake things up a bit. Last year there was much talk that the Monarchs were interested in Stanislaw Burza, has last season's rather tepid form killed all interest among the Monarchs' faithful, or would they still welcome Stan the Man to the West Lothian badlands?

I'm sure things will start to warm up now that everyone knows what points they have to play with . Before too much longer Ann Summers will have company .

His form and attitude last season has killed it for me but who knows if he can turn it around again. I just don't want us to be the team that offers him that chance.

With all due respect to Berwick and their illustrious promotion, I really can't say that I am surprised that they don't get the best commitment and performance out of their riders. I wouldn't be upset if the lad made the move up the A1 and sported a Monarchs jacket next year.

Rumours are growing in intensity that Desperate Deek might not be Ann Summer's captain in 2008 . Sources tell me that Deek and his appointed driver could be looking for pastures new next year . As long as he doesn't head west i dont care .
