Poole did not have to have a busy start to the season as all other teams have spare days. What is their alternative race night? Solved the Cup draw already, no reason for Poole to request a bye!

Poole are not racing on Wednesday 8th because they are at home on Good Friday April 10th. No club or fans for that matter are going to 2 meetings in 3 days!!

This includes double headers & the abandoned "ice off". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted January 30, 2020 Eastbourne Speedway's promotional efforts are amazing. This one could be a game-changer when it comes to attendances. Basically, they are giving a free season ticket to U11s and will be going out of their way to give them out --- thousands and thousands. They will just not be going to fans of regular, established supporters but children all over their catchment area. Brilliant idea.

gee jay 234 Posted February 2, 2020 just got my first look , on twitter, of the training track . don't know what i was expecting but it looks big , can't be much smaller than buxton or weymouth . perhaps my dream of running in the national league aswell as the hailsham/hastings/eastbourne triangle toxic budgies is one step to being a reality .
