Sophies Mate

Couldnt agree more now that theres someone younger on board and embraces the internet who knows what can be done and Connor deserves to getting the backing from the fans to keep this going forward.

Indeed we do Im there at least an hour before the meeting starts until it finishes plus Im there for all the practice meetings too I do it because I enjoy it and like to do my bit for the club

Strangely enough have been a fan for slightly longer than you and for the last 7+ years have been volunteering on the staff at Arlington at every single home match ........As well as texting the updates for the home matches....

Not at all connor has only just started the new job maybe if so called fans gave some backing instead of moaning or at least come up with some positive or constructive criticism then maybe they would listen to them!

At least its a start plus unlike on here people cant easily hide behind nick names makes them think a bit more about what they say. Nothing is stopping you joining facebook is there?? Or are you one of these people that likes to moan hiding behind the fact you can remain faceless here.Fed up of people moaning about the eagles and what they do or dont do easy to complain but cant be arsed to come up with something constructive or positive social media is the way to connect these days .......

Now that connor dugard is on board who knows may change young blood and all that, he has already been asking on the eagles facebook page for fans opinions and thoughts and im sure alot of fans will be giving feedback to him lets see what he can do.

Lakeside have posted on their site that both Kim and Peter ljung have been loaned out and the clubs in question will be naming them soon ....

Out of that lot id want kim to sign, magnus is just awful round arlington tungate wont poole want him back? Auty hmm maybe as for the others no thanks.

Thought we had 5.52 left .... Simon needs a season elsewhere cant quite agree with the comment sleeping giant ....

Lol I hope not!! Can rule lukas out not enough points left for him. Looking at last years green sheet kim was on 5.44 and simon was 5.43 and I know who id chose and its certainly not simon !!

Im guessing its not timo as hes put on facebook that hes received some bad news......

This is from last year, you really need to check article dates before posting links .......................

Joonas is one rider I do not want to see back at Arlington, need at least one new rider in the main part of the team

Good for Kyle Poole didn't need or want him last year so you can't blame him for not hanging around to see if Poole decide whether they want him or not at the end of the day he needs to earn a living and by going to clubs that clearly want him then who can blame him for not waiting, it's a two way thing if Matt wanted him that badly then he should have maybe spoken to him sooner!

Have said for several seasons that I would like to see jason doyle ride for us as alot of people have said he rides well at Arlington as well at other tracks we are in dire need of riders that can ride other tracks

Def would not want Joonas back his long track racing would get too much in the way plus when he rode at Eastbourne last season he was just awful really need a new rider in esp if we have got 7.36 to play with

With the two we have signed I personally would prefer to have Mikkel and Kim back with a new rider and the two new reserves not sure if they would all fit in with enough left over for the last one?

to be honest not surprised, suspect there will be others that will sit out to start with and if their season finishes or looks like to finsh early else where such as Poland then think we may see a few doing what Greg did last year

If we do run next season then it is quite clear that Bjarne will be back as no 1 judging by his comments but of course will depend on what Poole want to do, there is no way Zagar will be bought back to Eastbourne after his last stint at Eastbourne. I would love to see Mikkel back at Eastbourne but know that due to his sponsors/Danish commitments he is under pressure not to sign for Eastbourne/UK club. Would def keep Cam and Kim as for the others would ditch everyone else and get new riders in. Personally I would like to have Richtie Worrall at Eastbourne. Suspect however that Lewis would be back and maybe Joonas and Eddie K, Joonas would depend very much on how much he wants to focus on his long track ambitions and after seeing him race at Eastbourne the other week certainly would not want him back. Also think that every team should be made to have a British rider in their team this year was the first time for a long time that we did not have a British rider in the side and we need to be looking after our own riders and not filling the team with oversea's riders. No matter what the topic is you will find he has to put his unwanted uninformed and quite useless input in to it. Makes out he knows exactly what is going on but could probably count the amount of times he has been correct on one hand. He seems to think he is best mates with every promoter/rider and is told things before it becomes public but all he does is make himself look stupid but is too dense to realise what a laughing stock he is with everyone on here.

I for one would love to see a re vamp maybe keep Cam def keep mikkelsen and even Kim would like to see Jason Doyle at eastbourne but still think we need a really good no 1 rider that would get the crowds back again.

Dont know if its because im using a samsung tablet as I cant seem to vote but can see the percentage of votes by team??

The photographer at Eastbourne (Mike Hinves) gives access to his photos to the local Eastbourne newspapers (Gazette and Herald) to chose which ones to use in their write ups surely more regional papers could do the same with other tracks that have licenced photographers (this way gets round this problem and saves them money too by not sending a photographer). I also know that the sports writer fot the Argus -Brian Owen attends most if not all home meetings to do his reports and regulary interviews riders to get thier thoughts and also he contributes to twitter on a regular basis too.

First time for a long time that the Eagles have not had a British Rider in their side in fact back in 2008 we had five British riders in the team Scotty, Lewis Lee, Brundle and Eddie Kennett ...............

100 give or take a few and most were friends and family I'd guess with a few regular speedway fans.

Was a good afternoon of racing the boys were very keen even when there was a falling off they were quick to clear the track where possible the 'bigger' boys could do well to watch and learn. Shame the crowd was small the 500cc final was very hard fought great one to watch !
