I predict an Edinburgh win by 10 pts. New track for tate and fraser. Not sure how much practice troy has had and I know antti struggled last time. We may be relying heavily on troy and the reserves to pick us up some points. I'll be making the 3 hour journey up to watch. Can't wait. UTC!

Interesting looking cup tie between what looks like two well-matched teams. Looking forward to seeing how Oskar performs at his home track after a great debut at Ashfield.    Line-ups from Monarchs' website: Friday 18th April: Edinburgh Monarchs v Workington Comets (MAXicab Knockout Cup Cup 1st leg), Armadale, 7:30pm STELLAR MONARCHS: Justin Sedgmen, Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Oskar Polis, Paco Castagna (Capt.), Victor Palovaara, Max James. GT TYRES COMETS: Troy Batchelor (Capt.), Fraser Bowes, Tate Zischke, Jye Etheridge, Antti Vuolas, Jacob Hook, Vinnie Foord.

Now all they need are new fans 😀

Think they did away with that so new fans wouldn't get confused only to replace it with new fans being confused with an extra race with a different scoring system.

Personally I'd have kept the 3-2-1-0-1-2-3-4 scoring system which awarded the away team two points for a draw anyway. One of the best ideas British Speedway has come up with in recent years and they scrapped it!

Rubbish!
