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.

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.

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?

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.

Left earlier than I would normally and glad I did. Very good crowd bolstered by the usual strong Glasgow showing.

Good win that. Great to see Cookie slot back in and riding Armadale almost like he'd never been away. Josh will be frustrated but we know he's better than that normally. Good points haul from Kye and Paco and the other boys did their bit too. Don't fancy our chances on Sunday tbh but good to get the season off to a positive start.

Zero. Friday’s forecast is great. If anything they might just sneak out for a few laps earlier on Friday.

No offence but I’m glad you’re not the team manager! We’ve got to push Kye to be a solid heat leader - that isn’t going to happen riding at no.2.

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

Anyone know when press and practice is this year?

Feels like there would normally be season ticket news by now?

People in glass houses and all that. :-)

You too fella.

Taken in the spirit intended Gaz. :-)

He just needs loved.
