SPEEDWAY: Harkess: Down to the wire
Edinburgh co-promoter Alex Harkess insists the race for the Premier League title could go down to the wire.
The Monarchs are one of the favourites to be crowned champions - but several other clubs are still in contention.
Harkess said: "We're having a good season and everyone is riding well, but we cannot take anything for granted. It could be a close race before the champions are crowned."
Search on for ELRC date
British Speedway bosses are looking for a new date to stage the Elite League Riders' Championship at Birmingham - and it is likely to be in October.
Fans with readmission tickets can use them to attend the Premier League Riders' Championship at Sheffield on September 21, or the restaging of the Elite League event.
For those unable to attend either, the BSPA will grant a refund.
