Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted November 26, 2018 Whilst Eastbourne are a team that seems to possess the worst kept secrets in speedway it looks like positive noises are starting to emerge. Jon Cook plus the step up to Championship, Wood & Brennan likely to be at reserve all good but the best news is announcements of a 3-5 year plan at Arlington Stadium....with the uncertainty hanging over the club those kind of timescales must be considered a huge boost.

gazzac 1,013 Posted November 26, 2018 I'm really looking forward to Eastbourne making the step up, but I will miss the NL which on the whole has been really great over the last 4 seasons. One other thing just through the nature of supporting a club, most of the posts ( mine anyway) tend to be in the section the club rides in. Think the general tone on this section is so much better than the leagues above, and although I don't 'know' the posters on here you always feel you do. Obviously the Eastie posters and some from here post on both,whether it'll be quite so friendly remains to be seen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have to admit that posters good , bad & indifferent from the Eastbourne supports group are largely fair, funny and entertaining. Losing that and the inter club banter will be quite a loss for the forum and teams involved. The rivalries between Kent, Brum, Mildenhall & Eastbourne are now likely to fade away as the Eagles try and strike up new challenges but with Leicester or Somerset the closest team geographically it feels like that could be hard to achieve? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 26, 2018 The geographics of moving up are the only minus as far as I'm concerned. No local derbies are going to be a killer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree,thats why it seems stupid that Kent and Eagles are in different Leagues. Kent will be in same situation in NL???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only plus side for Kent is at least they know they won't be going into 2019 to lose yet another semi final to Eastie in all competitions!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a group of people whose main pleasure seemed to be insulting Bob Dugard and everything Eastbourne. The change of forum participants is probably one of the reasons I have enjoyed the last four years so much. I shall continue following the NL and hope Kent and the IOW do well. I do believe Jason Edwards and Charlie Brookes will be loaned to one of them and Georgie and Tom may well double up, so there could be a common interest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted November 28, 2018 Sorry to be either a pain or pedantic, but perhaps we could just use the one thread in the Championship section for Eastbourne 2019 from now on ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
