Hunters 210 Posted July 19, 2017 I believe Sheffield is a big track which will give him invaluable experience for the trip to Belle Vue in September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrscambelt 27 Posted July 19, 2017 I think its a big mistake for George, i watched him at Kent on monday and was dissapointed in his performance, I am sure George was too but just imagine how it must hurt to get only a few points per meeting in the bigger league. Ask JPB, Connor coles, Connor mountain and many others this year, i can see that George's average in the NL go down now. Big mistake when your not ready.

Alex2000 266 Posted July 19, 2017 That could be a bit of a problem against Lakeside and Mildenhall because on the next set of averages he will not be No1. He will be third and that means r/r with rides taken by Baseby, Brennan, Powell and Bates Any guest below his average would have a job performing like him at Arlington. can have a guest for cl commitments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask JPB, Connor coles, Connor mountain and many others this year, i can see that George's average in the NL go down now. Big mistake when your not ready. I completely disagree with this, Georgie's performance at Kent on Monday was down to mechanical gremlins and a complete one off for this season. I think the time is right for him to start to move up and the greater experience he gains in the championship is exactly what he needs right now and will improve him as a rider and his national league form if anything. He's more than capable of scoring points in the championship and he has done well to earn an opportunity to race at a higher level and I expect it will be the start of a good career for him at a level higher than National.

gazzac 1,015 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Good in one way that it will give him experience on other tracks, especially a big one like Sheffield, but we'll soon have first hand knowledge of the problems with the championship having first go of his services and no asset loan fee to compensate. I can see some very similar post's coming on here, to what we've seem on the Kent, IOW, Buxton, Birmingham (etc) threads.

Moleman27 31 Posted July 19, 2017 On the facebook page its only been positive comments from Eastie fans so far, we enjoy seeing riders who are our own succeed (even if not technically owned by the club) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnTwo 317 Posted July 25, 2017 Very interesting Last year wasn't it August? What happens if a rider gets injured? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman27 31 Posted July 25, 2017 Then I imagine you are allowed to make an emergency signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eaglesno1 43 Posted July 25, 2017 Does anyone know who Charles Saunders is? He as just been added to the Eagles team profiles page, so is presumably the new reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iand 133 Posted July 25, 2017 Does anyone know who Charles Saunders is? He as just been added to the Eagles team profiles page, so is presumably the new reserve. New BSPA averages shows Charlie Saunders in at 7 replacing Matt Saul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted July 25, 2017 http://grasstrackgb.co.uk/charlie-saunders/ A grasstracker looks to have good pedigree 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solrac 313 Posted July 25, 2017 Interesting signing by the Eagles. Wood and Powell both from grasstracking backgrounds so worth a go. Need someone at permanent reserve by the cut off. Hopefully he'll ride Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moleman27 31 Posted July 25, 2017 Should do, and has quite a big pedigree on the grasstrack scene so expect will be another good find :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
