Edinburgh v Glasgow April 4th

[Weeyin]

So first meeting for the Scottish contingent of the league, Re- introduced Scottish cup. Will be interesting to see how both teams get on,  some Glasgow riders have had some races under their belt and are looking good, Sedgy has had an outing but unsure about the other Monarchs, Victor has been over here before so knows what to expect, will be interesting to see how their other newbies fare. Looking forward to going to armadale on Friday, hope the weather plays fair, forecast ok at present. As for prediction, I think it will be a reasonably close encounter but obviously hoping for a Glasgow win.

I'm quite excited to see how the Edinburgh team fare. It would be good to see some different teams fighting for the playoffs this year, and I'm hoping Edinburgh can make a good impression.

After we smash them a few times early doors, obviously.

Looks to be a decent Friday for a change and hoping for a close and entertaining contest.  Edinburgh have a couple of riders new to UK this year so it remains to be seen if they can hit the ground running.  Paco did well last year and would expect Kye Thomson to bounce back better after last seasons injuries.  Victor looks to be on a bargain average so he should certainly improve on that and captain Sedgy looks to be on decent early form.  Has to be said that Tigers have put together an overall strong looking side with an impressive quartet of Harris, Howarth, Flint and Thompson.  If Boughen does what many people believe he is capable of then Tigers could be in for a good season. Very impressed with how Dan Thompson has come on recently in both leagues and I bet that some teams are envious as he will be the one to watch in 2025 I reckon.  On paper at least it should be a close encounter especially if Monarchs 2 new boys can master  a completely new track to them. That could well be key to the final outcome.  .

To be fair It was last season Dan really kicked on at Plymouth, he looks to have went up another level at the start of this season.

Should bode well barring injuries.
