Facts are most other cost are fixed. Any rider not agreeing to a new deal can go to Glasgow. I honestly hope the problem is resolved & Eastboune are around next season.

What is the fixation, or maybe bitterness, with Glasgow? If reducing wages at Eastbourne is a possibility, then does that not suggest that the club were paying too much to begin with? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted August 19, 2021 The only rumours I have seen are Lawson refused to ride at Leicester in ht 15, the size of the debt with the stadium owners and that EK and RL have left ?? Hopefully they can resolve the situation and speedway can continue at Arlington. Time will tell .... "Fingers Crossed" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hackett 220 Posted August 19, 2021 EASTBOURNE FIXTURE UPDATE The upcoming fixture on Friday 27th August will now be the rescheduled Championship match against Poole Pirates, allowing Eastbourne Eagles time to resolve their current difficulties.

How can the away wages be paid with no income. Fingers crossed for a lottery winner, with a few quid to spare! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly Like the hedgehog said climbing off the scrubbing brush... Anyone can make a mistake... To be fair mind how often will it happen seeing us on a Saturday and then Berwick on a Sunday at the same venue over the same weekend... After Arnie put that it took about 10 minutes for the penny to drop and I checked the fixtures on the BSPL site and realised I had dropped a Bolo... Never mind I now have the right end of the stick... But if I'm totally honest I even had the wrong team because it's bloody Kent who are up this Saturday at Berwick then on the Sunday at Brough... Big tea and an hour's kip and I'm all over the spot... Regards THJ 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
