Is this being streamed?

I’d like to think if we have someone performing strongly in the Academy team then we would look to promote and relegate as appropriate.

Left earlier than I would normally and glad I did. Very good crowd bolstered by the usual strong Glasgow showing.

Good win that. Great to see Cookie slot back in and riding Armadale almost like he'd never been away. Josh will be frustrated but we know he's better than that normally. Good points haul from Kye and Paco and the other boys did their bit too. Don't fancy our chances on Sunday tbh but good to get the season off to a positive start.

Zero. Friday’s forecast is great. If anything they might just sneak out for a few laps earlier on Friday.

No offence but I’m glad you’re not the team manager! We’ve got to push Kye to be a solid heat leader - that isn’t going to happen riding at no.2.

And so it begins. Both teams presumably at full strength in front of a bumper crowd as everyone returns to get their speedway fix. Struggle to see anything other than a comfortable Edinburgh win. 60-30........... Edinburgh Monarchs 1 Josh Pickering 8.92 2 Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 3 Kye Thomson 6.60 4 Paco Castagna 4.93 5 Craig Cook 8.24 6 Jacob Hook 4.00 7 Kyle Bickley 2.86 Glasgow Tigers 1 Chris Harris 8.76 2 Marcin Novak 5.00 3 Benjamin Basso 8.52 4 Claus Vissing 5.00 5 Tom Brennan 6.71 6 Lee Complin 4.00 7 Ace Pijper 2.00

Anyone know when press and practice is this year?

Feels like there would normally be season ticket news by now?

People in glass houses and all that. :-)

You too fella.

Taken in the spirit intended Gaz. :-)

He just needs loved.

Cook confirmed. Time for him to kickstart his career again after a few seasons in the speedway backwaters.

Don’t disagree but some who take issue with everything the club does or says come across like they have an agenda.

1.Edinburgh the rest

Glasgow the league favourites again? Good-oh. Always works out well…..

Going head to head with Edinburgh on a Friday evening was a bad move IMO. Sunday afternoon is more family friendly and you would get the odd punter coming along the M8 for their fix.

Sensible signing IMO. Two rookies at reserve would have been very risky.

Good to have Kye back. He’s our new Max Fricke in my opinion. Now just Lasse, Paco and Cook to sneak us in under 40.00. Decent side.

What’s his average? Does that suggest no Lasse then?

Who else is 111? Cook and?

Bound to be a signing announced tomorrow. We’re running out of days. Cook’s homecoming being kept until last?

It has to be Kye I think. Towards the end of last season he’d added a toughness to his riding. Not dirty but certainly stronger. Hopefully we see more of that next year.

Who told me that I think it would be a sensible signing? Me; I tell myself things. Isn’t that how it works?
