Says on website report away to Workington on 28 June (although a night meeting in the fixtures). Also has us away the following week (5 July) to Workington? Also has pairs and riders championship a different way in the fixtures compared to the report? Will check the British speedway website when I have time.

How about a season opener against the Monarchs closest track and a fair few from Edinburgh attending.

I would have thought Redcar & Workington were the best options as they're not in the same BSN group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it reflects the general state of the sport when you don’t won’t to put on a local derby,especially given the sparse fixture list over the season.Worky fixtures have generally been reasonable attendances in the past .
