This meeting clashes with a 5.30pm kick off for Brighton in the Pemier league. Hopefully it won't have an impact on the attendance. If its not one thing its another !

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 15, 2021 Oh dear bad news here. Have the crowds at Eastbourne been that poor? They don’t have the same overheads as other clubs as they own the stadium and with it car park, food outlets etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they same same as Glasgow Speedway, does the speedway rent it from the Allied Vehicles Group? Edit typing while others answered about Easbourne.

Need to do it as if these are just rumours ( although unfortunately I do think there must be some truth in them) need to nip in the bud as crowds will be affected even more if the rumours aren't correct.
