cityrebel 2,960 Posted April 2, 2015 I think that eastbourne's first ever meeting as a stand alone NL club deserves a topic of its own. The weather forecast looks a bit dodgy, but drier PM. If this goes ahead I am expecting an eagles win. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex2000 266 Posted April 3, 2015 Why R/R for Ben I thought he was riding? Apparently he has to ride for Redcar Can't be a bad thing can it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted April 3, 2015 Seems a bit backwards to me that when 2 clubs agree he can ride for kent that the authoritys then say he must ride for Redcar. Also find it frustrating that as we have one of the highest averages number 1's we can pick more or less any national league rider as a guest but instead we have to use RR. Under be rules do we HAVE to name a number 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiseguy 214 Posted April 3, 2015 Seems crazy to me. Imo Eastbourne are stronger for greenwood replacing mason, but kings are far weaker losing their only real established heat leader This could be a mauling i fear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipper11 134 Posted April 3, 2015 Yes I think it is a bad thing. This would have been a very good competitive meeting and I was really looking forward to it, but with R/R for Kent No 1 it will be totally 1 sided and for sure not worth travelling to see.

OldHawk 72 Posted April 3, 2015 I wont go now because Kent cannot track a full side for their first match of the season, I wonder how many others just wont bother. Speedway is in a very bad way 8-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevec 300 Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) How frustrating that on the first match we have both number ones missing! We should be talking about the excitement of a real local Derby but instead its all about missing riders. I do think this helps Eastbourne and its a real shame Kent cant use a guest. No-one really knows how Eastbourne are going to go but I think that, with all the practice they have had, we will see a home win by 10 points. COME EASTBOURNE!

Guest Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Dan Greenwood for David Mason R/R for Ben Morley This has been posted on the David Mason website:: MASON TO MISS OPENER By Eastbourne Speedway | Thursday 2nd April 2015 Eastbourne IT First Eagles plans have been rocked this morning by news that club captain and No 1 David Mason is ill. The Eastbourne-based rider has flu and is suffering from chest pains. It means he will not be able to ride in tomorrow’s opening match at Arlington against the Kent Kings.

blueherb777 571 Posted April 3, 2015 What a farce 1st meeting that Kent are without their No 1. Thrashing for Kings if meeting is on. Unbelievable that Eagles loose Mason but are stronger with Greenwood. Only in Speedway can this happen ??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
