Edinburgh already plan to run a team at NL level this season. Do keep up!

A good week to watch the Bandits! As well as the above, on Friday night the 2011 Bandits are being shown from Redcar.

It seems incredible to have two totally-different Brummies home matches on stream tonight at the same time.......?

It is highlighting that Berwick are featured in two different streams tonight at 5pm, one of which is heavily and properly advertised above. Reminding Berwick viewers on here that they have a choice. No doubt the keener ones will watch both, one after another -- rather than Boris!

Another Shielfield meeting on Bandits YouTube channel today: We will be showing Bandits vs Edinburgh Monarchs from May of 2019 on Sunday afternoon at 5pm! Local derbies are always well attended at Shielfield Park and this match was no different. The Monarchs looked strong on paper and the Bandits had to be on top form if all the points were going to stay in Berwick!

There's also this, from Bandit HQ, at 5pm: We will be showing Bandits vs Edinburgh Monarchs from May of 2019, today (Sunday 10th) at 5pm! Local derbies are always well attended at Shielfield Park and this match was no different. The Monarchs looked strong on paper and the Bandits had to be on top form if all the points were going to stay in Berwick! A choice of viewing......

Another Shielfield meeting on the club channel tonight at seven - Newcastle are the visitors.....

You hope

Great, but why isn't this also advertised on BSPA website with the other clubs' offerings?

Track lighting just needs to be even for riders, their problems come when there's a brighty-lit patch, then a dark bit, etc, etc

Tomorrow (Tuesday) night's featured match on Edinburgh's EM-TV is a curio -- Dale Devils v Oxford from 2004. A certain Jamie Courtney will be featuring for the Silver Machine Academy -- c'mon, boss!

Might be a couple of reserves who picked up a few Heat 2 5-1s?

Bandits v Glasgow (2018) is premiering on YouTube right now...... Started 30 seconds ago!

Kiosks could be the saviours of speedway

Sure did. Great blog!

Edinburgh are 'staging' a meeting every Friday at the same time. They began their 'season' last Friday, with a match against - - Peterboro! Others are now following their lead, which is great, but the Monarchs can claim 'seniority' for Friday nights!

I think his all-nighter was with Adam Scorniki.....

A first class post

Delightful phrasing from George Dodds in yesterday's blog on club website: saying that the pandemic was "making self-isolation a sexy and socially-responsible lifestyle choice, rather than the fate of window lickers from Cornhill" I laughed out loud

Duns opening session, intended for this weekend (22nd) has also had to be cancelled.

As this could be the only speedway meeting in the UK for months,! I'd certainlysuggest as many fans as possible get to Scunny tomorrow..

Quite clear that it isn't regionalised (All seven clubs will field their own four-man team, who will race their opponents over six heats on a one-home, one-away basis after Premiership matches between the respective sides.) but as the Premiership isn't exactly a nationwide competition like the Championship, the travel isn't too big a burden. Six home meetings can be accomodated in the warmer, lighter summer nights when spectators are happier to stay on to watch the juniors. As long as the promoters all take it seriously, use their own junior riders and encourage spectarors to stay and watch, it can succeed. All it needs to be a success is for one gilt-edged UK prospect to emerge from this mini-league every year, and that's job done.

OK, this thread is about unattached British talent. Is there any?

Ready for mod action, methinks...

Wow! Becker is likely to set this league on fire. He has had many, many offers to 'come across' from the Premiership, and it looks (no pun intended!) as if Garry & The Hancocks -- sounds like a 'sixties pop group -- have a hit on their hands!
