cityrebel 2,960 Posted May 30, 2014 I know there is very little interest in this fixture, so I thought I would get the ball rolling. Rory makes the lions a lot stronger, but not enough to stop the eagles at Arlington. Any thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steven101 103 Posted May 31, 2014 Eagles should walk this really, will be going to this one hopefully be some good racing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunters 210 Posted May 31, 2014 Schlein for Hougaard makes a tremendous difference. Cannot understand why they are similar averages but around Arlington they are poles apart with Schlein somewhere between 4 & 7 points better dependent on how he feels. Should be a good tussle for the heat leaders who all go well here but after that I must say things may be bleak for the Lions bottom four. Hope I am wrong as we need some tight matches and they have been hard to come by this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agrotron 955 Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. I bet there will be some better racing at Arlington than the processional stuff we are likely to witness in Prague!! You don't need top riders to make for great racing! and Uncle Bob reckons he loses more money on any 'off-racing' night!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steven101 103 Posted May 31, 2014 Definately top riders dont always make best racing, thought eagles v cov couple weeks ago was gonna be poor but was a really good well fought meeting, looking forward to tonight now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophies Mate 31 Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. Due to a few extra meetings this year and saturday nights being the best night to race for eastbourne its the risk they have to take and some fans prefer to be at a meeting watching it seeing as they can record the gp that way can fast forward through the adverts and waffle!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrcts 252 Posted May 31, 2014 Great this fast track system is... Eastbournes reserves 17 paid 21 Leicesters reserves 1 point between them. What a farce,how possibly can this be fair. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how difficult it is to arrange guests at fairly short notice, but Lions had 48 hours to get a replacement for their original guest, James Sarjeant,who was standing in for the injured Tom Perry before he was injured himself on Thursday. Perry is no.11 in the draft list so they could have anyone from no.12 downwards & they pick someone who is no.34 on the list. Surely they could have had someone better it's not like there was lots of other meetings on tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you expect when you introduce NL kids to the Eastbourne triangle for the first time ?, their track baffles enough proper EL riders.
