00000 1,279 Posted July 27, 2020 I'm holding on to the hope of some speedway late-on at Arlington this year, after listening to Ian Jordan today. Be great to get some action in 2020, even it is limited to some October action. I wonder if Eagles will also have a run at NDL level. They've got the bones of a decent team, depending on the averages. A couple of CL-level matches, some ND, all backed with the MSDL Seagulls would be a real result.

We have to hope for a dry autumn. Fingers crossed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted July 30, 2020 I would say today's statement from Eastbourne Speedway is a model of how to communicate with supporters in a transparent and open way. It sets out what's been happening, the decisions that have been made and the reasons. Now we know where we stand. It's all on the website. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame, after the time and expense of travelling to Poland etc and looking promising in his first serious outing since his broken leg. I just hope he's not going to be one of those promising riders who's career never really takes off because of injury. He seems totally fearless, but needs a decent run with no more injuries.

He was preparing for the European U 19 final in Zarnovica Slovakia on Sunday which he obviously now misses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renovation and upgrade work, possibly (but do not hold your breath) including the long awaiting improvements of the toilets. I stopped by there at the start of the summer and it looked like there was some sort of work taking place as the main gates were unlocked and there were a lot of vehicles there. In terms of speedway the club have said that they wouldn't be able to run meetings at any level until September at least due to the works on the stadium, without elaborating further. It seems like Dugard and Co may be taking the enforced break as an opportunity to carry out some much needed work, but of course the speedway and the stadium are separate concerns these days so there is not a whole lot of information forthcoming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
