Match is being streamed on EMTV for £7.99, very good value, hope it’s on! https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/emtv/live/0PmfBrgpe

Might be a long gap to the next home meeting on the 12th August now, however it was mentioned that they are trying to arrange a meeting on 29th July, wonder what that could be..

Changes are pretty impossible at this stage because the team total comes to 45.91 and with 2 changes it would have to fit back under the 42 limit. I.E dropping the McGurk’s (7.83 + 3.00) would only leave 6.92 for two riders! For context, it’s impossible to fit Bickley in with any combination other than Bailey plus Elliot Kelly or higher

R/R will produce the same points, if not more, sorry but don’t rate him at all. Not a great signing on a 7 point plus average, in a stronger league but obviously wasn’t first choice as the in the experienced rider role. In the 6+3 he scored, he only beat 1 opposition rider Kai Ward, who scored 1 point off 6 rides, and 2 of the races he scored points in had 3 riders finish! Also has 1 win in 19 rides this season.

Weather radar looking fairly clear now, and new riding order for today!

That is one of the poorest Champ line ups I’ve seen for a while. I’d even back the Comets or other top NDL sides to beat them!

Premier Greyhound Racing schedule that was out on Monday states that they’ll be running weekly racing on a Wednesday evening, is this new news or has it been known for a while that the Brummies have lost their Wednesday race night? https://premiergreyhoundracing.co.uk/racing/

No Luke Crang today, R/R at No. 5. But Luke Harrison is back and rides at No. 8!

Polish U24 Ekstraliga is only ran on Tuesdays

Yeah, it was mentioned at the meet the riders event that 2 burger vans and a marquee serving drink I believe, I was told a band will be on live in the marquee after the meeting, but haven’t seen anything confirmed on that!

Online tickets are being looked into, but not ready for this weeks meeting. I believe there are issues around booking fees

For the Edinburgh meeting I believe it’s; 1 Bailey 2 Pijper 3 H McGurk 4 S McGurk 5 Crang 6 Dugard 7 Kelly

Excellent price point for the Stream, I shall be watching

Probably stating the obvious here but almost every time I watch the Premiership I can’t help think that the make up of most of the tracks make it awful to watch. We can get all the top riders we want over here, but on these tracks it will still be boring to watch. Was the same last week at Sheffield, far too narrow, and the leader just clears off

Josh McDonald is just getting back to fitness post surgery, maybe Scunny’s bumpy track isn’t the best place to come back

Cheers, found it on his Twitter page

Heard bikes going round today, it’s getting close!

It was always going to be off if you'd checked the Met Office radar, surprised they didn't just call it off earlier. It's forecast heavy rain of upto 8mm of rain per hour from 6pm all night, impossible to start in that. The radar has showed it clear all day which it has been.

Connor Bailey has also signed for Redcar for 2023. http://www.redcar-speedway.com/2023/03/02/bears-bailed-out-after-massive-injury-blow-to-shanes/ Remarkably only 1 fixture clash that I can see, will miss Oxford away on Weds 16th August as Redcar are at Poole.

Luke Crang is Workington’s captain
