  1. I’ve asked Ian Jordan at Eastbourne about Eastbourne’s rising stars as he is without fail very transparent when fans ask him questions. He will always join in on Facebook if there is a question that needs clearing up. Of course, he will not break confidences which is what you would hope for (although you are dying to know!). Mr Jordan said Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards and Tom Brennan are all on the rising star programme. It was also great to discover that Nathan Ablitt, another Eagles asset, is also on the list. What fabulous news for the riders and Eastbourne. He told me that in 2021 each club has to have a rising star at No 7. Where a club tracks more than one “rising star”, like Eastbourne, it’s the one with the least experience and lowest rating that gets the No 7 slot. For Eastbourne, it's Jason Edwards, which I think is absolutely perfect for Jason. He said there were other things which he was sure the BSPL will announce in due course which, understandably, he could not tell me. My take on this is that the rising star programme is hugely welcome, fits the overall aims and ambitions of Eastbourne which are to nurture and develop young British talent. It’s what happened over the years down here in Sussex and it is a great tradition. All this makes me proud to be a supporter of such a far-sighted club and I am sure there are plenty of other fans on the Arlington terraces who will back me up on this.
  2. Tom will surely be a rising star in the Premiership and we know he is not in the Championship (for the purposes of this exercise) and he is in Eastbourne's top five and they have Jason Edwards as their rising star, which he is.

    BSPL AGM

    Good thinking. That point hadn't occurred to me. So, they won't be having an AGM then anytime soon.

    BSPL AGM

    Have you noticed how all the reports in the Speedway Star from the AGM do NOT refer to the AGM but something like 'general council". So maybe this thread is not discussing the AGM at all. Mysterious or not?

    Eastbourne 2020

    Yes, the story is on the website. Fantastic news that we will have our magnificent seven back for 2021. A British team that we can all relate to. As others have said, fingers crossed we can get started at the beginning of May. Looks like infections are falling in East Sussex, according to figures from the BBC.

    Another fabulous free online magazine from the Eagles. Flying High is truly exceptional -- some excellent reading, super pictures -- just what is needed in these dark days of winter and Covid. Well done Eastbourne - makes you proud to say you are a fan when your club does something like this. https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/flyinghigh

    BSPL AGM

    Eastbourne got 3 teenage Brits in their team + 4 senior Brits.

    BSPL AGM

    Speedway in seeking a "Big Bang" announcement is letting things dribble out by rumour and speculation = actual announcement will be flat lemonade (dry January!).

    I thought Riss had jumped ship and gone to live in Europe; or did I read that wrongly?

    Don't you know: Silence is Golden as the Tremeloes said in about 1967

    Gosh, that's left field. He's not had a full season for a long time. Wouldn't imagine he has got any kit, so are Lynn going to fund that?

    Whats actually going on?

    Nope, the NDL is not independent of the BSPL. It may have its own co-ordinator but it still comes under the auspices of the BSPL which can (and has) dictate the rules

    Whats actually going on?

    No-one in sane mind would even think about scrapping the NDL.

    So the BSPL would be guilty of inducing a breach of contract.

    BSPL AGM

    I’m not talking about rolling over 2020 contracts. This is about contracts for 2021 after BSPL said team averages would be unchanged. Now BSPL want to backtrack, it appears. BSPL is now a company so directors personally liable. water, neck, up to.

    He would have lost out financially so would have had a claim.

    Law on contract doesn’t work like that only in Bspl fairy land. Good lawyer will run rings round them.

    Jason at the AFA? I would take that.

    BSPL AGM

    A contract is a contract and there is a price to pay for breach of contract. There is also a price to pay for inducing a breach of contract.

    BSPL AGM

    A lot more than 2 in the CL. Premiership is in a hole and they seem to have a very large digger. No Nicki P, No Rohan Tungate... What's Lidsey doing, Bewley, NIKI and no doubt others too.
  24. Eastbourne Speedway has announced how it intends to use digital technology to enhance Speedway night at Arlington. This will help fans feel more involved and part of what is going on. It will be something other clubs need to watch and learn from as the #DigitalEagles concept develops. And while they're going digital, the traditional (older?) supporter will not be ignored. Makes you proud to say Eastbourne Speedway is the club I support. https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/eagles-plan-digital-transformation/

    Eastbourne 2020

    Great to see Eastbourne Speedway gearing up for the new season by unveiling plans to go digital. #DigitalEagles This has to be the way forward for all clubs. Digital is so flexible and offers so many possibilities. Guess fans from clubs visiting Arlington might want to "buy-in' to the service on a one-off basis. And there's no throwing out the baby with the bathwater...well not the baby – those who are older, more traditional who want a printed programme, PA announcements and interviews via the centre-green presenter. The secret is to cater for all your fans and make speedway night a real night out. Well done Eastbourne for having this vision https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/eagles-plan-digital-transformation/
