ruckerroo 792 Posted June 28, 2019 i see sadly Richie Worrall got injured last night and several champ teams are racing sunday,getting a guest will be tricky, all being well eastie will be full strength, I wonder wether they will use the Edinburgh rider who had a stormer for them last time ? I think the home team should be capable of winning this time but on the form book lester should be capable of winning a 2 legged tie comfortably. Not such extreme heat sunday so hopefully the track will be as good as possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted June 29, 2019 Tough luck on Leicester :-( Lack of gusts will be a problem, maybe R/R will be the only option. Assume Kennett will be riding as he pulled out last night at Scunthorpe ? Eastbourne will prepare a vastly different track surface to the one when Leicester beat them earlier in the season . Expect a thrashing at Arlignton and an even bigger thrashing for Eastbourne at Leicester for an aggregate win for Leicester. Hope there is a big crowd of families and young kids watching the "racing" in the afternoon sunshine at Arlington. Park your cars well clear of the track at the back of the car park. ;-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted June 29, 2019 And it is Eastbourne v Leicester - not Eastie v Lester. FFS. If you are going to start a thread, for god's sake do it properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No doubt one of those dinosaurs who moans any time anyone under the age of 21 walks within 10 feet of them. I've seen Eastbourne's Community Programme in action on 2 visits to Arlington this season, a credit to their Club and the sport, trying to bring in new fans to replace the sad old dinosaurs. Brummies too doing great work with kids and sadly sad old gits at Perry Barr too, mostly from Sutton Coldfield. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Dickson had booked MPT, but he snapped his frame tonight at Leicester, so now can't ride. Also now no Josh Bates after his crash. With 8 teams riding on Sunday Dickson said on his interview on the Lions facebook page that he had rung everywhere & was out of options. He did mention pre-meeting tonight that Wallnger was guest at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Lion 138 Posted June 30, 2019 Leicester could not find a guest for Worrall , Palm Toft agreed to ride this evening but then snapped his frame so they declined the booking so R/R is being used. We struggled to get a guest for Worrall so now getting a guest for Bates is going to be almost impossible. Wallinger was booked to guest for Jack Thomas but i understand he crashed at Plymouth on friday & had now withdrawn from the guest booking at Eastbourne so its back to the drawing board there.

Elmo 274 Posted June 30, 2019 Should be a romp for the eagles and probably by enough to be comfortable over the 2 legs. However this Lions team does not lie down and will hopefully put up a decent fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
