Quick question about the parking at the the track - can't say i remember how big it is... is it ok to turn up anytime or does it get filled up quick..? Cheers Tom edit - oh, also decent chippy recommendations welcome. Thanks Plenty of free parking at the stadium. My favourite chippy in Eastbourne is Qualisea, which is at the seafront end of the main shopping street. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted July 31, 2019 No-one explained how speedway promotions operate to Ian Jordan (thank goodness). Here he is again, telling it like it is. Fair play. Spoke to him last Saturday at Arlington. Very approachable. https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/ian-jordan-reveals-the-ingredients-for-success/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woofers 467 Posted August 30, 2019 https://www.eastbourne-speedway.com/wood-hit-with-28-day-ban/ “Terms have been agreed with Danyon Hume and his parent club (Ipswich) were happy to sanction the move. The change has been notified to the BSPA in a revised 1-7. However, at the time of writing the BSPA have not yet ratified the signing due to a new rule (not in the rule book) that prevents riders already signed to NDL clubs being prevented from signing for higher Division Clubs IF there are Fixture clashes that impact on the long held rule that Championship Fixtures take priority over NDL Fixtures. A Club spokesman said: “We have to respect that decision but have formally appealed to The Directors of the BSPA and await an adjudication”. “ A new rule not in the rule book, eh. Fancy that.

Hopefully another start of a Dugard, Norris, Barker type era, not everybody's cup of tea, but they were successful for a few years when the elite was elite, be great to see Brennen and Brooks at 1 and 5 in a few years time.

SuperSpeed 24 Posted August 30, 2019 To be fair, I'd be a bit miffed if I supported a National League side and a Saturday track in the Championship had signed one of our heat leaders halfway through the season. Good to see Charlie Brooks get a go though, hopefully it'll be good experience for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammer1969 421 Posted August 30, 2019 A bit of information for anyone thinking of going to Eastbourne Speedway tomorrow for the Sheffield match, last week there was internet connections problems to credit/debit card readers and it affected not only the speedway but much of the local area as there is a fault with a local transmitter which might not be fixed by tomorrow so anyone attending the meeting are being asked to make sure they have cash with them to pay just in case otherwise they wont be able to to gain entry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still shocked to find so many speedways that allow only cash anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In all fairness it was regarded and publicised as a great hurrah that Eastbourne fielded an all British team but in reality a new promotion cannot sign any sponsored overseas riders in the first year. Will be interesting to see how British the side is next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
