old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 20, 2021 THJ Yup 2 home fixtures in 2 days sounds daft to me too. Recipe for reduced attendances. However, the EB website fixture list does say that Berwick on the Sunday is provisional. EB sandwiching fixtures between SGP weekends ….I always thought they would run on the Sunday pm when they clashed with the SGP? Would be very sad if they didn’t manage their 90th year celebration meeting , as that was one I would attend . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the Edinburgh Monarchs website .... those who have the Northern Tour hotels booked - the 1st leg is definately off the schdule. Seems like the Edinburgh fans have been sh@t on left, right and centre this season!!! When Scotland gain their independence don't be surprised if they set their own Super League up with erm... Glasgow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Home and Away 20 times each means 40 matches.. Plus a two leg semi and play off final is a total of 44.. Plenty of rides for the lads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow Rangers vs Edinburgh Celtics We should hold a whip round for the Edinburgh fans, like when a rider blows and engine, to pay for their wasted hotel bills Edited August 20, 2021 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee Kilby is the son of the late Bob Kilby, one of Swindon's top riders. Lee, I think was involved with Swindon speedway last season, and was recruited by EB as a "co-promoter" alongside Trev Gear. Why you need two "promoters" is of couse another good question - it's another wage to pay, as well as those for the 2 directors Ian Jordan and Les Fineing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are a TROLL the biggest one on this forum , do you know Lee Kilby ? have you ever met him.? Lee is like his old chap two of the nicest people you would ever wish to meet involving speedway. Myself and i am sure others will agree you ent quite there upstairs are you!!! a tool of highest order nasty with it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
