  1. I think there is a sliding scale, depending on the rider's average
  2. also gutted that the riders will there. And feel the same out the awards.

    Was Jon Cook not part of the inner circle for a number of years?
  4. Lambert will be a huge miss - both for his points and his racing.

    The Elite League has for some years been crying out for leadership. When Douglas and Cook joined forces they had a great combination: the successful businessman and the speedway guru. It all has rather dribbled away in recent times.

    Great result for Charley. To be fair, a lot of good speedway riders have also been pretty useful on the grass and vice-versa. You can throw in a bit of long track into that equation as well.

    I am neutral as far as Lakeside are concerned. I am not a supporter; nor am I a "hater". When I go, it is to watch speedway racing and I would take no pleasure in Lakeside, or any club, folding. Lakeside should have done more in the past when they had the opportunities.

    I didn't say Sue doesn't do a good job. I support speedway by going and standing on the terraces.

    Dead right RMC. A circus will soon move from one council area to another making enforcement expensive, if not impossible. Speedway track is fixed target and the council will easily take action, Unfair? Too right it is. It annoys me to hell that a circus will litter the town/area but the speedway track (which pays business rates) is smacked down when it tried to put up posters etc

    And Lakside are not helping with the "sport shooting itself in the foot". Lakeisde are a major part of this problem. Smell the coffee.

    Please don't spam Sue. One request per thread is surely enough. Repeated postings on the same topic is bad. We hear what you say. And before the naysayers get started, yes the service is good but spam is bad.
  12. Interesting that the state of S. Carolina has taken down the flag and consigned it to a museum.
  13. Thanks. Remember a day like this a couple of years ago. Set out in T-shirt/shorts: had to buy trousers and coat at Lakeside shops because it was so chilly . #British weather

    Eastbourne have been all over social media this year, like a rash. You can argue that it is a generational thing with social media being of Connor Dugard's generation. Having said that, it's his father who has a higher profile on Twitter. It also helps that the sponsors are an IT company and also support the ITFirst Eagles on social media. It was part of Eastvourne's strategy to use social media to promote and engage with the fans. Eastbourne talks to the fans on Twitter and Facebook, in particular. And, they do listen to what people say. It is changing perceptions. A lot of clubs could benefit from taking a look at what is happening in Sussex
  15. No weather updates? Spotted a cloud on the horizon - oh, that's the dust being kicked up by all the guests.
  16. Thanks for the information. Makes sense.
  17. Surely George Hunter is too old to ride speedway. I'm sure Gustix remembers THE George Hunter who sadly died some years go.
  18. Didn't the track covers work?

    Kent losing out to Eastbourne (again). Young Dugard seems to be quick off the mark. Kent should have thought about both Hopwood and Cottham and given them a go. Agree, top hat cat, time to win some silverware #eagles When was the last time? 2008? Some trophies on show at the awards night at the Amex would look cool.

    Confirmed that the end-of-season awards night will be the Amex, home of Brighton and Hove Albion. Really doing it in style

    Lakeside 2015

    Thanks for the information. On that basis, nothing like speedway's muddle.

    Lakeside 2015

    The simple fact is that there are not enough riders for the number of teams we have in the UK. Doubling up, fast track reserves-papers over the cracks Are there any other sports where a player (roder/driver) rides for two teams in the same country?

    All there has been is Connor "trailing it" as a mega event. No detail, that I have seen. The Amex rumour would seem to make sense as IT First have a close relationship with Brighton and Hove Albion, it was stated as the press day. Be a coup for the Eagles to have an event at the Amex. Better than the Eagles' Nest
