True. Would have been different this year with Robert at No 1

Lambert may not get a place in next year's SpeedwayGP. Back to the Stars for 2022?

One rather small league

I think Eastbourne said £25,000--to have spare bags

I think most of them are in the same group- and in a nutshell that is speedway's problem. An audience that is literally withering away. Too few of us 'skivers' allegedly working from home.

Interesting how this thread has bounced a long at quite a lick this morning. Is it older folk who have time to themselves of younger people 'working' from home?

End of 2018 when the club won league and cup, the attendances were surprisingly low for such a powerful and entertaining team.

Did you see the attendances in the last season of NDL?

More time to walk in Abbots Wood and the reservoir

What went wrong? People didn't go in sufficient numbers. The audience for speedway on a regular basis in East Sussex has withered away to a few hundred.

Under Covid restrictions, I read they could have 1,000 people in the stadium. That probably meant 900 fans with the other 100 or maybe a bit less being riders, mechanics staff etc. Poole was a sell-out (ie around 900). That was the top crowd. They dropped away thereafter and fell noticeably for Scunthorpe. Leicester didn't look very good and Plymouth was really no better than the NDL crowds of the past. The drops were most noticeable drop came after the end of all restrictions..

What matters is where the Eastbourne riders go, if the club closes...deadline day Friday.

The statement is there, slightly amended from the above.

They will tomorrow. That’s when they said there would be a statement. Not long to wait.

And it looks as if they have mucked up. feeling like east Anglian speedway death wish
