Really really good win. I know the Brummies weren’t at full strength to say the least but a real shot in the arm for our season. Real team effort. Schlein an admirable stand in for Pickering, Fredriksen and Hook were very impressive. Cook top drawer, Paco rode very well as expected and Kye came on to a game later. Bickley the only real disappointment - he needs to start getting the odd third place.

Easy for me to say as we’re on the wrong end of a TR but I hate them.

That’s the only glimmer of hope IMO

I’m sure he’s a good guy and everything but he’s not bringing in the points

Paco won’t be given long on this form. That middle order won’t scare anyone.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. We could survive one night without amenities I think.

Thinking of trying to get along to Marmande in July. Is there anywhere nearby to camp does anyone know or even on site? Would have the kids and by all accounts it's a late start so they might not make the "post midnight final and fireworks"! Any pointers appreciated.

Assuming the weather doesn’t scupper this I can’t see the Monarchs winning the meeting nevermind the tie. Masters will go through the card and Nicholls quite possibly too. Sedgmen a really strong guest to back them up also. Anyway here’s hoping for a few good races given the Armadale specialists on show.

He might do yes. It’s quite the stretch to suggest it’s a certainty that he’ll improve things however. Running about with a headset on directing tractors is quite different to heading up the league.

What exactly is he going to bring to British Speedway? Genuinely what are his credentials? Aside from almost paralysing David McAllan.

Phil Morris is so annoying. Takes himself far too seriously. Chill out mate.

Lots of stoppages tonight? I’ve been back home in Edinburgh for about 20 mins having seen 15 heats at Armadale!

Sedgmen showing tonight he’d have been a good signing.

Guests is the most sensible approach. You can pick and choose track specialists to an extent to makes total sense. Can’t think of who we might be able to sign to cover him anyway tbh.

Holding our own just now but no Josh means we have literally zero chance to winning.

Yep got there in the end and once it was working it was the usual high standard of broadcast. Really wish other clubs would do this too.

Are people getting the stream to work?

You’re calling out volunteer admin on a public forum because they haven’t pinned a topic. Quite stroppy.

Classy post fella….

Doesn’t he just mean he needs to harden/toughen up. I’ve not seen the incident so difficult to comment but the consensus seems to be that Cook was in the wrong. Can’t really see the fallout on Twitter either as he blocked me ages ago for telling him his social media persona needed some finessing.

Followed on speedwayupdates as I’m away this weekend. Sounded like we were hanging in there until that ht10 incident but too heavily reliant on the top two. Was Cook’s move a bit naughty?

And so it begins. Both teams presumably at full strength in front of a bumper crowd as everyone returns to get their speedway fix. Struggle to see anything other than a comfortable Edinburgh win. 60-30........... Edinburgh Monarchs 1 Josh Pickering 8.92 2 Lasse Fredriksen 4.00 3 Kye Thomson 6.60 4 Paco Castagna 4.93 5 Craig Cook 8.24 6 Jacob Hook 4.00 7 Kyle Bickley 2.86 Glasgow Tigers 1 Chris Harris 8.76 2 Marcin Novak 5.00 3 Benjamin Basso 8.52 4 Claus Vissing 5.00 5 Tom Brennan 6.71 6 Lee Complin 4.00 7 Ace Pijper 2.00

Continues to feel like a missed opportunity.

Is this being streamed?

I’d like to think if we have someone performing strongly in the Academy team then we would look to promote and relegate as appropriate.
