Anyone else having trouble with the stream on BSN?

Yes that’s what I was thinking. Czechia is a bit of a trek for someone to in all likelihood not even turn a wheel.

Do they use local reserves on the night to save unnecessary travel?

Yes and I think Alex Harkess alluded to that in the British Speedway podcast. Armadale is never going to be luxury but I think any significant investment has been avoided because of the uncertainty around its future. Whatever direction we go it needs to be settled in the next 4-5 months otherwise I can’t see Edinburgh racing in 2023.

While I wouldn’t discount the option of buying Armadale if it was in any way feasible I can’t help think it’s a chance to make a fresh start. Something purpose built over a period on land that was secured.

While it is not enough to buy/build a new stadium the fantastically supported and run Monarchs Fan Trust has a relatively healthy balance sheet which you would imagine could go towards the cause. Hopefully a site can be identified soon and then we can turn our attention to the finances.

A break in 2023 was my initial thought too. Turning round a new home in under 12 months is hugely ambitious - that is unless talks have already taken place.

Yes this would be perfect and would be easier (not easy) to draw crowds from Edinburgh.

Get buying euromillions tickets folks!

Stream for this?

It’s iffy tbh

Yea don’t disagree and when the team was out together it always looked like that was the risk. One small positive of late is that Thomson is scoring better. Not enough to be considered a heat leader but better. Sergeant is very hot and cold which isn’t what we need at all.

I’m not sure who he’s be a better option than but he’s in the country and looking for a team.

Falling well short just now. It’ll need to get better soon or changes will be made.

Should be a tight meeting but hopefully the boys have just enough to come out on top. Bickley guesting probably helps the Monarchs tbh.

Nope. Used to but changed providers. Just canal+ premium and 1 to 4

Hmmm I only have up to 4.

Anyone know whether Ekstraliga matches are shown on other European channels? Any Danish or Swedish? Can’t get my Polish channels to work - canal+ seems to have football the whole time for me.

Are they both riding abroad? Probably the two you don’t want missing!

Friday would definitely have impacted people's decision. I know why they did it but had it been a 1pm meeting i'd have been along with the kids.

Arguably the biggest positive from this evening was Kye getting in amongst the points. Hopefully he can kick on from that especially at home.

Well they almost pulled off the impossible. They can hold their heads high after that and particularly with us being so weak at reserve. Sam imperious. Did Kye just not fancy the last heat?

Lucky for the Tigers that Sarg wasn’t available…..
