Hackett 220 Posted August 25, 2021 Guess when the kids have finished school , I can look at moving to a property on the old Arlington site - perhaps a house in Dugard Close or Norris Road or Kennett Avenue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will miss Eastbourne, away track I have visited the most. I will miss the time when Nicki P shouted in Rickardsson's face and Tony laughed at him. And also when Nicki was getting his 'revenge' on Tony in H15 but Middlo didn't put him in the race and was watching from the pits, as soon as Nicki realised, he was half a lap behind! Good times! Proper grudge meeting between fans too, not just riders! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that all Eastbourne matches would be expunged from the records with Eastbourne riders reverting to their 2021 starting average. So any team that has raced against Eastbourne would therefore probably have their averages re-calculated too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If correct, some heavy duty recalculations need to be expedited if the cut off date for team changes is still 28th August Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With over a 1000 in there tonight for a entry level type Banger meeting, I don't think you need worry about that. I suggest the stadium is completely safe, and I am equally positive that speedway will be at Arlington in 2022 under new management. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There have been amended GSAs issued previously at short notice, so it is a possibility that a revision as suggested by Gambo could still be published by 28th August.
