Even challenge matches raised over 500 people on the gate. And in the summer holidays I am pretty sure we had a press release saying we had four figure crowds each week. Eastbourne over the last 2 seasons have had massive gaps in their fixtures, perhaps the new promoters will try to run weekly. Apart from the Kent based Eastbourne riders and a group of faversham/Canterbury based eagles fans and the odd neutral like city rebel there is very little cross over in fans, such is the strength of rivalry. I know about 10 people that are regulars at both venues. The lack of competitive meetings in both clubs fixture lists next season might ensure there won't be too many clashes if they race on The same night. I might do the odd challenge match at Kent, but fours, pairs and individuals are out of the question for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted January 22, 2019 The Kent web site is saying that a new sponsor is to be announced during a Dog Racing meeting at the stadium next Sunday. Seems a very strange way to introduce a new Speedway sponsor at a Dog meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted January 28, 2019 Good evening last night with all the riders in attendance for the unveiling of our new Sponsors Touch Tec. There was a real buzz about the place and already seems great team spirit between the lads. Roll on April... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good news on your new sponsors - looks like a two-year deal from the promotional poster I have seen. And I have to say, I just love the poster, really good with plenty of impact. Where was the photograph taken? Not Kent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Eastbourne programme is excellent, but at a pound dearer it should be. For me personally, I'd be happy enough with a simple race card. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you do produce a programme,you need to make it interesting and have some pride in what you sell, to show the Club in a better light.IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always buy a programme...I simply want the most important bit, the race card which I like to be very clear and on paper I can write on. I also look for information I need, or am interested in, but it doesn't bother me if the artistic side of things is less than perfect. Never read the SS programme comments. Great news about the new sponsor. Pity I couldn't get to last Sunday's thing at the stadium. I would have liked to have spoken to the riders. Seems a very young bunch this year.
