The start up costs to go straight into championship level are eye watering..

Im all sorted now

Me too

Just to clarify that we did have a productive meeting yesterday and we are looking at running either league and not both at this time. Lots of good things happening but still a long way to go yet..

That's a bit harsh really, if it was a pure buisness decision then they wouldn't want speedway at the venue. It costs money with staff etc and they would be happy just running cars that they make money out of without the aggravation of running speedway. They are very supportive and the rent is realistic and a lot lower than most clubs, they are happy for us to run the sport at the stadium and thats a big positive..

Hi and Thank you, The Dugard's have doubled what the previous promotion paid in rent but its in line with a lot of tracks now.. We are exploring every avenue but at the moment we are trying to see what sponsorship will be pledged before we do anything else.

That is the start up costs but as the article states, we are some way down that road already and talking to potential sponsors for next season..

Eastbourne is in fact 275 m Fantastic news for the sport and especially Edinburgh fans and promotion Good luck to everybody, dream and plan high..

Yes it is mate, Im Mark and Thank you

The reply would be something like 'You don't have a business, what you have is a money pit'

Good points but Birminghams rent isn't that high

BSPL fines will be paid first

It is indeed, very much so and thank you

There will be an interview in this weeks Speedway Star explaining a few things..

Yes but the set up costs in a lot of areas are still high, need a new air fence, tractor all of the track equipment is old and by the time 2023 comes round will have been left sitting there unsed for 18 months.

Thank you, we are trying to save a great club in the South East of England that has been tarnished by a previous management structure We have the support of the stadium owners, the BSPL, investors and sponsors but we are looking for more to get it off the ground, we will work on this...

So far wide of the mark mate, but this is looking for sponsors and any investors. Do you honestly think we would be this far down the road without investment in place already?

EASTBOURNE EAGLES STATEMENT 17/06/22 SPEEDWAY 2023 As many of you know we are working on getting the Eagles back on track for the 2023 season. We have spent the last few months working towards this and there are numerous hurdles some of them seemingly insurmountable but we will not give up just yet. We have spoken to the stadium owners, the speedway authorities, various promotions and others who have been involved in speedway at Arlington and other tracks. We would like to have a fans forum in the near future but at this stage we would like to speak to anyone who could potentially sponsor and or invest in the club and those that can/will help run speedway. If we can raise the money and get the help required we can run speedway. Please come back to us if you can meet with us and a date in the next couple of weeks.

This result reminds me of the season Eastbourne sold Gordon Kennett to Kings Lynn with the expectation that Kelly Moran and Ron Preston would return. Neither American returned and we had the worst season losing at home to Cradley 58-20. Next year Bob Dugard went out and purchased Bobby Schwartz and built a new team, can't see Newcastle repeating this sadly

Slow and steady wins the race?

Track has got appalling

I think its disgusting the establishment didn't give Tommy B a pick for the series, but thats what it is. I hope he get the pick at Cardiff to show them what he could have done. Watching this on D+

If true, what do you think the set up costs for those riders would be to ride the rest of the season over here? It would at this point not be cost effective for either the rider or club

9 from 5 in some Shield cup thing, one of his first few meetings at champ level, that leg break was bad he's done well as 2019 was a wasted season..
