Don't think it was that much of a surprise Alan but jolly good signing, nonetheless.

Georgie Wood looks a natural round Arlington, according to my friend who has seen him. Exciting times just around the corner in Sussex. Can't wait for it to start. Just have to work out how to "duck out of work" on Friday and look like a VIP

My prediction is that Eastbourne will finish bottom of the Elite League. that's what everyone always predicts. so why change now

Totally makes sense. Should be competitive; give the Panthers a good run and the younger Brits a useful meeting

It is Press Day. The Press are working. They do not want to be crowded by well-meaning fans trying to get shots. A good set of pictures and background footage has to last a season. It is not a day for the fans as you suggest - the name is on the "tin" and should do that job.

I think you are right. Johnson has said far too much for his own good about Eastbourne and others on social media. I can well understand him being worked up about it all but he went too far as far as Eastbourne was concerned. He has quietened down now but you cannot unsay what has been said.

I have a feeling the rules don't allow cross-league events as you suggest. Maybe Bjarne could come and present the trophy to the winner.

If Leicester can get a good third heatleader, I fancy the Eagles-in-exile to make the play offs.

Great news from Connor. Well done. Dead right on keeping the continuity going. Really important. that was the big problem with the EL - you always had to check when the next meeting was. Be good to see the Eagles pitching in against each other.

Thanks for the information.

Yes, the Coventry visitors, while always welcome, were hardly a barrel of laughs

Phillipsr may have to make a chocolate cake in the shape of a hat

Makes sense. Maybe some of the pit-bikers will get the speedway watching habit too. Or, some might become a star of the future. Nice to see Arlington becoming a pit of a motor-cycling centre.

Is there plenty of parking at Kent?

Dip my toe in here to begin with and go with Eagles, Young Stars and Fen Tigers.
