gee jay 234 Posted February 1, 2017 looks like newcastle fixtures will clash for most of the first month and most of the last month but only about once a month in between. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted February 1, 2017 Newcastle are a Sunday track; Eastbourne a Saturday. Diamonds have away fixtures on a Saturday on March 25, April 1 and April 8. Eastbourne don't start until Good Friday, April 14. Newcastle then away on the following Saturdays: April 22, May 13, June 10, Aug 26, Sept 2. Two of those dates are visits to Berwick in the Championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted February 1, 2017 There's also the possibility that on GP dates, we may opt for a Sunday, think he will miss quite a few meetings home and away across the season I'm sure. Always fear the dreaded r/r if decent guests are not available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted February 1, 2017 Dugard is no mug, he would have worked this out in advance. Not much you can do about away clashes, but Eastbourne do have a degree of flexibility when it comes to race night, so I doubt he will miss many. Where the double up does affect the lower club is when play offs hit and your rider qualifies with his other club as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted February 1, 2017 I suppose we're luckier than some teams at the moment, shouldn't be any problems with the other 6 riders, and hopefully Connor won't miss as many it appears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted February 5, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if we go head-to-head with some of the GPs. the eagles will also be going head to head with rye house and lakeside on most Saturdays. For someone like me who is a regular at all three venues, hard choices will have to be made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted February 5, 2017 the eagles will also be going head to head with rye house and lakeside on most Saturdays. For someone like me who is a regular at all three venues, hard choices will have to be made! Lakeside are rarely going to compete against Rye on a Saturday. Whilst Eastbourne and Rye have both ridden on Saturdays for years, but I admit that previously Eastbourne have been in the higher league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
