Friday night’s second leg of the Scottish Cup match against Glasgow is definitely on despite the Western Commercials Tigers suffering a devastating fire at Ashfield on Tuesday morning.

Tigers’ Co-promoter Alan Dick said, “It would have been easy to say enough is enough after the Ashfield fire which has destroyed our new bar area, but I have a longstanding relationship with the Edinburgh Promotion and I can’t let them down at the last minute.”

Craig Cook will be missing from the Scotwaste Monarchs line up as he rides for Belle Vue at Peterborough. That meeting also takes Dakota North out of the Tigers team. Morten Risager, on of the few riders to beat Cookie in recent meetings will stand in at number one for the Scotwaste Monarchs and Tigers have Ricky Wells, Thomas Jorgensen and Ashley Morris as guests in their team.

It looks likely to be the last meeting for James Grieves before he retires and the Scotwaste Monarchs will carry a two page tribute to him in their match magazine.

End of Season Dinner Dance tickets and 2014 season tickets will be on sale at the track on Friday.
