eide67 Posted Thursday at 11:25 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:25 PM Friday 8th May 2026: Edinburgh Monarchs v Workington Comets, Cab Direct Championship, Armadale Stadium, 7:30pm EDINBURGH ROSS ECO TECHNOLOGIES MONARCHS: Nick Morris (guest), Jonatan Grahn, Justin Sedgmen, Paco Castagna (captain), Kye Thomson, Mitch Cluff, Jordy Loftus. WORKINGTON GT TYRES COMETS: Jonas Jeppesen, Niklas Holm Jakobsen, Craig Cook R/R, Tate Zischke, Troy Batchelor (captain), Darryl Ritchings (guest), Ryan Ingram (guest). Will Dan Thompson's injury take the edge off the delight in qualifying for the BSN series semis at Glasgow? Nick Morris comes in to guest. Comets run R/R for Cookie and have two guests at reserve - Darryl Ritchings and Ryan Ingram. Will Monarchs' reserve pairing continue their improvement and get a heat advantage in Heat 2? I predict an 8 - 10 point win for Edinburgh as long as Kye's not too tired after his paid 19 from 7 rides at Northampton. What a start to the season he's had!

Mr Blobby Posted yesterday at 09:18 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:18 AM (edited) Wood good guest to have at reserve problem get 5/6 rides tonight and probably score more on his own the Vinnie and Perry would score combined. Other than him only really Jeppesen should cause us any sort of real bother. Edited yesterday at 09:20 AM by Mr Blobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted yesterday at 12:38 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:38 PM Unfortunately can only see a big monarchs victory, a bad track for Jacobsen to make a comeback back and a 1st visit, 58-32 to monarchs 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston Comet Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Bad track for the Comets, worst stadium in British Speedway, a disgrace to the sport. We'll save our £100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD26 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Decent result for the comets that, a lot closer than a lot, including myself, thought it would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Well done to the Comets for keeping it so close , could have snatched a draw but Monarchs got the 5-1 in heat 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Would’ve took that at the start, Batchelor led from the front, Tate grew into the meeting and Ritchings was a good guest. R/R was covered very well and we had our gating gloves on which obviously is the most important thing there as it’s over on the backstraight. Think we have a chance of the playoffs this season but you can’t rely on guests on R/R going forward. Tough night for Niklas H in his first meeting back but he looked decent in Heat 11 and will be fine at home tomorrow on his home track.

Thought the riders done really well, better than I expected to be honest . Like has been said guests and R/R is far from ideal. Thanks to Ryan Ingram and in particular Daryl Ritchings for taking the guest bookings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Strange night thought we were comfortable without being very good, threw away a couple of points too. Probably should’ve been a bigger lead but should still be there or thereabouts for the bonus point as our bottom 3 go fairly well round worky.
