How about a season opener against the Monarchs closest track and a fair few from Edinburgh attending. Should also get the Confidence up as you pump them what’s not too like. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought Redcar & Workington were the best options as they're not in the same BSN group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it reflects the general state of the sport when you don’t won’t to put on a local derby,especially given the sparse fixture list over the season.Worky fixtures have generally been reasonable attendances in the past .

You guys have a challenge with Newcastle select, often wondered why we can't have a similar fixture for what was the Tyne/Tweed trophy. Still can't get my head around the fact that when we have our 1st official meeting on the 19th, we will already know who the Pairs & Riders Champions are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alang Posted January 28, 2025 Report Share Posted January 28, 2025 Looks like it's now Berwick 'buy a camper van then change the tyres' Bandits 2025. Wonder if Jewson ran out of building materials after giving it all to the Bandits to prop up the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
