Eastbourne V Coventry Select 17th May

Recommended Posts

With the GP the same time and depleted line up, would imagine Eastbournes promotion will lose lot of money hosting this fixture on this date

For any Eagles supporter out there ...... is there any increase in the average attendance when Coventry are in town ???

I don't know what other clubs take but Coventry often have a coach and many cars. I'd be amazed if Coventry are not one of the best supporter teams at Eastbourne.

Not at Belle Vue. No away team brings large numbers these days, not too surprising for a Monday race night. Of recent years probably Birmingham have brought the most.

Probably Leicester have taken over the top spot now as they are new to the league and lots of different tracks to visit.

Coventry certainly one of the top 3 supported clubs that visit Eastbourne and in the past they have come by coach although I dont think they did last season. Lakeside and Poole being the other well supported clubs at Arlington. Probably because we mostly race Saturday nights.

Anyone that supported Coventry away deserved a medal last season. It was bad enough watching them at Brandon. :D

Funnily enough there's very little mention of this meeting on the official Eastbourne website...

 

Anyone got any idea of what the "Coventry" line-up might be...?

It's an old promoters trick to keep the line ups a secret, but in these days of the internet it's hard to keep anything under wraps!

I see Trevor Geer is gloating in Speedway Star that Eagles got Bridger on board before Coventry could book him as a guest for Harris.. he has to do something to build interest in this fixture I guess
