I would have thought the opposite. Poole needing thier top riders to carry the scoring? Scunthorpe riding at home being the one match where you'd expect very little from away reserves?

The new look Gladiators are in town and Monarchs will have to improve greatly on the second half of their meeting last night at Poole to win this one. It will be interesting to see how Scott Nicholls (arguably the best ever visiting rider around Armadale) goes on his return from long-term injury. Plymouth also have recent former Monarchs in Lasse Fredriksen and Jacob Hook (guesting for the recovering Ben Barker). The home side will be looking for improvement from MPT, but personally I'm enjoying watching the progress of Jordy Loftus, who had another fine race last night beating William Cairns. Friday 18th July: Edinburgh Monarchs v Plymouth Gladiators (Championship), Armadale, 7:30pm STELLAR MONARCHS: Victor Palovaara, Paco Castagna (Capt.), Justin Sedgmen, Kye Thomson, Michael Palm Toft, Jonatan Grahn, Jordy Loftus. GLADIATORS: Scott Nicholls, Lasse Fredriksen, Jacob Hook, Joe Thompson, Nicolai Klindt, Alfie Bowtell, Arran Butcher.

It’s next Weekend the Final

I'm amazed that no one ever mentions the new track opening for banger racing in Prestwood, Buckinghamshire as a possible site for speedway. It looks ideal for speedway.

The track defo needs a blade on it first before they can really do any work on it. I never seen so many poor track this year Terry who does the track at Poole  can only work with what he has got there , when the home riders start asking for track work you know it needs work on it 

Just what is going on with blodorn ? Missed a meeting couple of weeks ago when rumour at belle vue were he had been sacked,they were just that rumours, then he did have a crash at sgp2 and seems to have been dropped from Poznan team but official reason is viral infection not injury, on Sunday he was out doing motox then Monday at belle vue he is not riding and is RR in programme which is printed Sunday /Monday morning but rides and now not riding at Oxford as he has rearranged fixture for Poznan but he not listed in Poznan team and is down to ride at Oxford 5hours ago on official bspl Facebook page
