Jason Edwards was always part of the 1-7 guesting for Nathan Greaves

Not 100% that would be the case, as far as I’m aware Poole get to choose who they face in the semi haven’t seen anywhere confirmed they would pick the Monarchs/Redcar

Yes Redcar would be 4th Edinburgh 5th

Glasgow’s statement would make a lot of the ‘I heard’ or ‘I was told’ on here seem as expected total bs https://glasgowtigers.co.uk/glasgow-and-leicester-to-try-again-on-wednesday-after-rain-off/

And most of them stink

If Birmingham are struggling financially then double headers which are generally loss making for any club running them would be suicide. 2 sets of wages and travel expenses to pay on one gate an absolute no go I’d suggest regardless of curfew

A little bit of an arrogant summary you could argue, you Edinburgh got lucky losing the toss as it gave them 1 and 3 in 13 and 15 but there is a pretty easy counter that if the Monarchs had won the toss and it was the other way round that Poole would not have had such a handy lead at that stage so all swings and roundabouts really.

I promise he will be a ‘Benjamin’ on the stream

Mea culpa, got my Zane K’s mixed up

Could anyone advise the best way to get from the town centre out to Arlington please Heading along to this as had flights and accommodation booked already for when this was meant to be a double header with Armadale. Is a taxi my best option? Looking at Google maps public transport seeks a bit sparse cheers

It’s a cracking shot Ian commented as such on the Tigers fb page as well

Must have been some advantage the Monarchs were expecting being on gates 4,3 and 2 as all 3 were done by the time McGregor made a twit of himself. Michael Max while out overseeing it was happy that what was being done was fair as well the only one with an issue was McGregor If you wish to see the evidence (not sure anyone can be that bothered watching what a tractor does) then the clip is here : https://vimeo.com/578838651/48335fd34b Only person that had any issue was McGregor and I believe his gripe was he hadn’t been told the gates were going to be ripped up

Cheers Bickley and Bowtell are Championship riders though so is it up to a certain average or level?

With apologies if this has been dredged over already and this isn’t a snide or dig what is the ruling that allows a facility for Smetana?

Why? surely if the aim is for these riders to improve then potentially moving into the main body and challenging themselves is a good thing, no point protecting them the scheme makes it easier for them to get a team spot and also gives certain benefits like guarantees on points money and fuel and tires provided by their clubs

Another tough looking match for the Monarchs this week as they look to turn around what has been a sluggish start to the season at home. No easy task against the current champs As far as I know Monarchs are as programmed with I assume a couple of question marks as it stands for Leicester after crashes for Howarth and Bates last weekend/Monday Tickets still available but if you can’t come along why not give it a watch from the comfort of your living room by buying the stream on the link below https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/emtv/live/0sWp2ebQg

It’s not ‘Willy nilly’ though there is an agreed order of what takes priority across European speedway and cup matches fall below league matches on it. If this had been a league match Sam would have been there as he was at Redcar last Sunday despite his polish club having a match at the same time

Joe Lawlor still injured Tom Woolley deputises

Amazes me more don’t, if we get nigh on 200 a week there’s an extra 2k income per week why wouldn’t every club in the country want that

Thanks for the kind words re the stream We do our best to try and be impartial but the fan in me does take over some times, I did have to catch myself after Thomson’s win in heat 5 Thoroughly enjoyable match with some cracking races throughout and in my eyes a fair result. Allen’s move in heat 13 was outstanding. Bears will be a tough team to beat this year with better nights ahead for Wright and Stewart no doubt.

Nope, another one from the Cumbrian pipeline off the last few years

Unfortunately the website issues that caused some to struggle initially with the stream also caused issues with the graphics package. Normally there will be heat lineups, results and scores up before and after every race

5.5 hours to go now until this one and a intriguing clash in prospect Both teams at full strength stream available to purchase from https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/emtv/live/Wptm391N9

It’s up in the air in a lot of circumstances so far as each club will have different guidelines to adhere to as these are dictated by local councils not to mention different govt rules for Edin and Glasgow also Every club I have seen has said it will be pre purchased tickets only at the start of the season at least to ease queuing and time at entry

As part of the fundraising for the new junior track the Edinburgh Monarchs 100 fundraising club are hosting an auction this Sunday off various parts of speedway memorabilia (and some boxing and bay city rollers stuff also) As you would expect it is predominantly Monarchs stuff that is up for grabs but there are some other interesting items including a Les Collins signed Great Britain race jacket, Alun Rossiter testimonial race jacket and Krzysztof Kasprzak testimonial race jacket among others Full details of all items and how to bid it join can be found here https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/monarchs100-auction
