TEAM boss Cami Brown says his side will go to Edinburgh “all guns blazing”.
The Allied Vehicles Tigers and Monarchs clash in the Cab Direct Championship play-off semi-final at Armadale tonight (Friday).
It’s the biggest fixture between the sides for four years since they met at the same stage of the title race in 2021.
Brown said: “The league championship is the big one. We’ve got to ride well to have a result, to make it a good chance in the second leg to get through. Because we want to be in that final.
“We want to try and push to that championship again. It’s going to be extremely difficult. All four teams in the play-offs are all very good.
“I expected Edinburgh to make the play-offs. And they duly did. They deserve their place. And we’ve got to treat them with complete respect.
“We’ll go there all guns blazing and try and get the right result. Obviously we’ll go there to try and win.
“We’ve got a very good record at Armadale in recent years. But they are a very solid side who know how to get results on their own track.
“The management and the riders always make it welcome there for us as well, which is really nice. Especially being such a big derby and we do the same when they come to our place.”
Tigers go into the crunch clash without three riders; Dan Thompson, Villads Nagel (both in the SGP2 in Denmark) and Max Perry (arm injury) all miss out.
Brown added: “It’s not a situation we wanted obviously. We have to just suck it up and get on with it.
“We’ve got good guests in Nicolai Klindt, Simon Lambert and Dayle Wood. Hopefully that means we are just as strong and keeps us in with a chance. It’s going to be another huge occasion.”
