Edinburgh's cycle speedway club's website went 'missing' for a few weeks.
It - http://www.edinburghfalcons.co.uk - is back just in time for the first home meeting of the season (against Hull) this Sunday (Redbraes 2.00).
A fast, fun, sport - always lookIng for new members/racers - great to watch too.

Sunday 11th April - The Edinburgh Falcons take the first win of the new season in opener at Redbraes Park with a convincing win over Hull by 86 points to 63.
A well deserved victory in the end for the Falcons with home riders Hewitson, Slight and new signing Bandosz all posting big scores supported superbly by the rest of the team all trying to impress Team Manager Gilroy.
For Hull, Stephenson showed glimpses of his Premier League calibre ensuring there were no maximums for the home men.
