foamfence 2,917 Posted December 21, 2014 The Eagles have signed some good rider I can't see why people worried about bdj and Danny w Danny been doing grasstrack he will be fine as for bdj he will be a good signing and a good young team man he get to much stick but then. Again like most people you will all type it on here but not go and say it to his face. In Martin Dugard's statement when Eastbourne's entry into the league was announced, he states that it is his intention to "make stars", so far he seems to have signed riders who are career National Leaguers. Obviously there will be other signings and the new minimum start average means that you can't start with a team of beginners. So we'll all see what the final line-up is and hopefully it'll be a lot nearer to what he said, than it is now. Don't make daft assumptions about what people might say to someone's face, you really don't know and this IS a forum where people are allowed to express their opinion.

Rockets 61 Posted December 21, 2014 You lot are funny. It will take time for dugard to bring young talent through. You don't just wave a wand and they appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE DEAN MACHINE 4,756 Posted December 21, 2014 What a lot of people seem to be missing is Eastbourne have dropped 2 leagues and their fans need to be convinced that the NL is the thing for them so they need the team to be relatively successfull ,they need to win fans over which is no easy thing ,in Danny and Brendon they have 2 riders who are great at bonding with fans and will score very well especially at home 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25yearfan 476 Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Brendon Johnsons a decent nice lad whos friendly, professional and reliable, but he's never going to go any further than 3rd tier level (please prove me wrong Brendon!). That said hes got lots of experience at Eastbourne, can turn a bike hard so should be able to score well at Arlington! Danny Warwicks also a decent guy whos approachable. Hes also very quick especially on the big tracks and on the grass and beach racing. It will be interesting to see if he can get used to the tight confines of Arlington although even if he doesn't he'll still be able to get the better of many riders there! Fingers crossed that National League speedway at Eastbourne on a Sunday can be sustainable. Crowds of 500+ should be achieveable on a Sunday afternoon especially on a nice day!

Blackbird 54 Posted December 23, 2014 It gets worse for Eastbourne! No doubt he's a nice guy who chats to the fans though.What an unnecessary comment. Do you get some kind of a kick out of going onto different threads and being so cynical? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) What an unnecessary comment. Do you get some kind of a kick out of going onto different threads and being so cynical? Why is it unnecessary? If someone posts what a great signing a rider is, is that unnecessary? Dave Mason has been getting worse for years, its hard a surprise at his age. When Eastbourne announced they were going NL they were going to bring in a load of up and coming youngsters. They have now signed Mason , Warwick and Johnson who have been riding for 20, 15 and 8 years respectively. Hardly what they were promised or what the NL is about is it? Oh as for unnecessary comments. Mine was referring to the Eastbourne Speedway team on a speedway discussion forum. You're was a personal attack that had nothing to do with speedway. Hypocritical or what? Edited December 24, 2014 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted December 23, 2014 Who would you have signed to meet the statement? Well there are plenty of young up and coming hopefuls now signed for other clubs. Look at the lists on the Speedway GB site' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
