Here we go again let’s hope the weather is kind and we can get on the road to support the lads. We need a lot more track time as a team especially on the road so today is a good a test as any. Missing our top man but Lee Complin is a rider you can rely on.

Hoping for a safe one and a Comets win!

Can't see a comets win today. Although Edinburgh don't have a great record, we've been severely lacking.

Crangy being out is a struggle when we are replacing him with Harry, who hasn't performed all season and Elliot who, after his month out, hasn't got back to the level he was at.

Itll be a tough match up and be nothing like the home leg.

On a positive note, excited to see Ace again because he's going to be a phenomenonal rider. He made last week exciting when other top riders weren't performing their best.

With redcar being off do we bring conner back say thanks to lee? Any idea why hook not riding for edinburgh are they pulling a fast one???

Was thinking this too, very harsh on Lee Complin but I guess it’s a brutal sport?! Obviously I’d rather have our own rider in the team but guess we will see? I’ve watched Speedway since 1999 and I’d never try and pretend I know the rules it’s impossible! 
 

According to a post on Edinburgh’s Facebook so far so good with the weather fingers are crossed

not sure if can use bailey

as the team will have been declared  with lee complin in the side 

 

I can't be bothered to trawl through the rulebook (!!), but I'm pretty sure that if a rider who was originally riding in the League above, but becomes available, you can switch back to your rider riding, rather than use a guest.

Not sure the rulebook gives an answer, but precedent certainly does, as it has happened before, so I would imagine Bailey will ride

Not sure of the rules, but both teams should 100% use their own riders now they are free! While it's a shame for the riders offering to guest, we have far too many guests already & any rule saying a declared team can't be changed would be rediculous!

I'm pretty sure that rule isn't there anyway, as a rider getting injured one day can nessitate a team change the following day.

31-17 to Edinburgh.

We are struggling with our starts and the bends.

Riding with Harry and Elliot is like riding with two down. I remember watching Dayle Wood at start of season. That kids improved massively whereas we have Harry and Elliot who have regressed.
