Shadders 4,137 Posted September 21, 2015 Not really... We've dropped 2 leagues and changed our team it's not the same as last year. Bare minimum was 4th place but we've done well. I'm not denying that. NL racing may not be to some peoples taste, but it's keeping clubs alive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted September 21, 2015 I'm not denying that. NL racing may not be to some peoples taste, but it's keeping clubs alive I think it's better than EL personally. It's actually racing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevec 300 Posted September 22, 2015 For a team that's just dropped 2 leagues that's the bare minimum you should expect I really don't see the relevance of that, Eastbourne started with a level playing filed like everyone else. If anything it was harder as they had to find 7 new riders! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted September 22, 2015 For a team that's just dropped 2 leagues that's the bare minimum you should expect You seem to overlook that when a club drops from the EL to the NL, they do not take their EL riders with them (even, if they wanted to). Â They have to start again with no assets. Â You say you are a Rye House supporter of 25+ years standing so I cannot understand how you could make such a statement 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted September 22, 2015 Think about it: Â They knew nothing about the league They didn't have a sponsor Hadn't won a trophy since 2008.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catinthehat 115 Posted September 22, 2015 Eastbourne started with 2 riders who never raced in this league, Dugard only done youth and woods never been on a speedway bike till March 2015. Hats off too all concerned as they started off with nothing at a level they never knew who was who. Best season I have had in speedway. Ko cup final NT final. Gold Cup final. 2nd in the league. Â Not bad for the first season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Countershaftcounter 360 Posted September 22, 2015 Dugard only done youth …… and eleventy billion laps at the trick track. He should have been knocking in 10+ points every week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catinthehat 115 Posted September 22, 2015 Your right countershaft. Billion laps maybe a little lie in that and not a true fact but we get your point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted September 22, 2015 Still can't expect him to score near maximums each week as he is new to league racing. He has upped his average unlike most reserves this season all bar perks and Whatshisname Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted September 22, 2015 brilliant news that bwd hasn't broken any fingers after all and may be back on a bike later this week, don't know if that means the nlrc or just a practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted September 23, 2015 He's pulled out of the NLRC so I'm guessing the 16 lapper at Ipswich too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catinthehat 115 Posted September 23, 2015 What is he man or mouse lol, BWD will come back as soon as he can and he just loves to race his bikes, lucky he has the weekend off and will be back on the bike for the NT Cup i hope. I see Tom Brennan won the 250cc British championship last week, The first bit of silver ware for the IT First and the Eagles. Roll on 2 weeks time hopefully for the next one.
