    Eastbourne Speedway

    We will certainly be exploring all options.

    That and it seems we will need to replace the air fence.

    Eastbourne Speedway

    Its simply being led by a group of like minded people sponsors/helpers/fans that cannot accept the end of speedway at Arlington and I am one of them. All of us have invested and lost, money into the previous club. Having spoken with Trevor, I am convinced he had knew little regarding the financial side of the club and he was as surprised as any of us when it all went wrong! We have a group of people that will be working with Trevor running the business side of things. As for the 'money man' there is no 'single knight in shining armour' that has come along but there are several people looking to invest. Getting the funds in place to be able to commit to 2022 would be extremely difficult but it can be done for 2023. As mentioned elsewhere, we will be looking to share more information when we have it and hopefully have some events where we can meet with people and let them get to know us. Hopefully you will come along to such an event?

    Danny Ayres RIP

    This is shocking! For those that have not seen Danny ride, I can assure you he really was something worth watching. His style, his emotion he showed for winning and losing, the way he was with the fans, the way he played up to the crowd (both home and away fans). He was a real personality. Right up there with the likes of Screenie, Adam Skorniki and Magnus Zetterstom It is so, so sad that someone who goes about making other people lives a little bit better could be struggling so much with his own. And I really mean that, I would have gone home with a smile on my face every time I saw him ride, little knowing that maybe, he didnt feel so good. I almost feel an element of guilt for that.

    Sheffield 2020

    You lucky sods Sheffield fans!!! Nicki rode for Eastbourne some years back and I have to say he is one of the most exciting riders to wear the blue and yellow! I would love to see him back at Arlington and I may well take in a Sheffield fixture or two just to see him ride in the UK Wow!!

    Craig Cook Ban Dropped

    This is just unbelievable. Yu could....and we did, go on for days aurguing over who started it, how it happened, why it happened, was it provoked etc etc but it is a FACT that Cook thew a punch and was involved and was the main culprit, hence the original ban being longer. How the hell can he get away withoit a ban. This is the SCB at its worse and a fingers up to fairness!
  9. Blimey, been away from this thread for a day due to an operation and I come back to a science lesson....weird One observation I have. Why do people take time read these threads and the saying it's gone too long or getting boring. Just font click on the thread title. For those of us still posting and reading....we want it. Anyway my statement for the day speedway is the winner here
  10. Wouldnt it just! Having said that I reckon 99% of Glasgow fans and 99% of Eastbourne fans could happily sit down and watch together with nothing more than some light hearted banter!....Unless it all kicked off, and then i would get the hell out of there!
  11. More like pacifying them. There was a little sawduct put down and the tractor did about 5 laps round the track.
  12. Yep, that happened. Ref looked, asked for a little work to be done and declared it fit for racing.
  13. They were there and on the scene. What facts would they have not known? That rightfully apologised and I commend them for doing so. They complained about a track that was fine Did not even get changed ready to race on time Pushed three of their riders off before the eastbourne had even been introduced Had a rider run into a marshal who was trying to stop them from riding on the track when they should not have been Then had a rider shoulder barge that marshal (still would debate that it was a missed head butt) And then thump someone else (who was having a go at him but not trhowing punches) Then they have a rider refuse to ride in heat 1 (who later goes out and proves how riderable the track was) and btw, he was an absolute pleasure to watch. A brilliant rider! Personally, I would put the whole thing down to gamesmanship and handbags but please dont try to make out Eastbourne were as bad. Eddie got stuck in after he had seen punches and god know what else thrown.
  14. It has been mentioned plenty of times, just ignored by those that want to blame the marshal
  15. Absolutely not! Thats is the whole point and where things started to go wrong. All riders are meant to have been intriduced before any push off, These three risers decided to push off and start doing practice starts befoe the Eastbourne riders had been introduced.
