00000 1,279 Posted May 24, 2020 Chris Schramm is a former Eagle and thus will be very welcome at Arlington, if he wishes to come -- as are all former Eagles team members. The ex-riders association has been formed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you rode for the Eagles..you are are 'in' and welcome. He's certainly (obviously) on the list of ex-Eagles. Pretty certain they have not managed to contact everyone as yet but from what I read all are welcome. Some might be interviewed etc but it's not a deal breaker for those who want to ease back into the place. I'm sure Chris S. could come and be feted or just come and enjoy quietly. Breath of fresh air as to how Eastbourne are treating their former riders. I've read in the past of clubs who want their former riders to pay. I think that is a poor show. We often see Gordon Kennett around the place and he often speaks to fans when interviewed by presenter. He is always very positive and encouraging. Steve Weatherley is a regular too Fans like to reconnect with the riders from the past and I for one am waiting for the day David Norris is talking to us again. >>If you know Malcolm Ballard, do tell him. I stand with a chap who still waxes lyrical about the genius that Malcom was. He would be in heaven if Malcom B put in an appearance again at Arlington. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
