Gambo95 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) 1 hour ago, Normski said: 1st home meeting 2 weeks after Pairs & CLRC No home meeting v Workington? 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. Edited January 9 by Gambo95 Info added.

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

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 .
