Eastbourne V Leicester 5th April

Recommended Posts

Looking forward to welcoming Leicester on Saturday night, think this meeting will be closer than last weeks against Birmingham especially with Doyley in their side. He always rides well round Arlington and always has been a great guest for us in the past - would have liked to seen him in Eastbournes side this year.

Great news that theres a few fans coming down by coach hope we can get one going when we're up there later in April.

Should be a comfortable home win again. Doyle has done well at Eastbourne in the past and is the main threat, but he can't do it alone. From memory, Hougaard and Stead have not performed well at Arlington in the last few years and may well come under pressure from Lewis Blackbird and Dan Halsey.

Hope so! Yes Doyle has done well here, Hougaard is dire round Arlington, although I'm sure a certain poster will disagree with me .......

Hougaard wont meet Blackbird or Halsey and as bad as Stead is he should have the nous to beat Halsey anywhere

Oops, you're correct, I didn't check the averages but assumed that Ljung (ex GP rider?) had a higher average that Hougaard.
