It's an interesting point you make; as years ago speedway fans would rush to wear anything with club logo's on it. It's a brave and innovative move, prices look about right compared with other clubs merchandise. As with many things Glasgow set the bar high with their website and online merchandise and this new Eagles gear looks competitively priced and more lines than Glasgow currently, so as you sat time will tell.

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted March 4, 2019 I think the prices are pretty fair as you can buy direct and add a logo for marginally more however the main issue is that the merchandise all looks a little dull. this could be a factor because the I.T forman colour scheme and branding was bold and stand out whereas this just presents a blue polo shirt, cap, coat etc with small retro (dated) logo upon it. Whilst im certain the quality is good i fear this takes Eastbourne from leading the way to back to the run of the mill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted March 12, 2019 I see that Reading are now running their 'home' meetings at Swindon. It makes far more sense financially and geographically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure Jason will be a 2 point reserve next season if all goes well this year, be interesting to see if Charlie can make the step up in the nl this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueherb777 571 Posted March 23, 2019 Like the way Eastbourne are going about things.Also nice there is such a Lakeside look about the team.Will try to get to a few meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted March 24, 2019 Interestingly I read my speedway star yesterday and saw that a rule change in Championship is that Team Average allowance will increase to 40 points from 30th June, then i read about Spillers, Daniel in particular; made it in to several U23 European Rounds last season. What would his CL average be 5 points??. Could I suspect come in for one of the bottom 4 on average and make a big impact? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boothers 223 Posted March 24, 2019 From a neutral (Redcar) supporter, Lewis Kerr looked very good at Ben Barker's testimonial meeting yesterday. Hope he has an injury free season. Certainly deserves one. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think everyone in Speedway whoever they support will wish Lewis a great season at both Kings Lynn and Eastbourne, the epitomy of a fighter and a really nice bloke to boot.

00000 1,279 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Just seen a cracking race on Facebook from the Sheffield meeting yesterday between Lewi Kerr and Danny King. Great battle between the two which Lewi just edged. Edited March 25, 2019 by Richard Weston 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
