As long as the suits still fit, could have been a few pounds put on during lockdowns, especially the slightly older ones.

I just hope as you say he doesn't have another bad injury, he seems to have had so many over the years. Great bloke and always good to watch at speedway and grass track.

just hope there's some speedway now.

Suppose until we see/know the list we won't know for sure, but Brennen was over 6 (before the reduction) and think Kemp was in the upper 3 point range. Would imagine they may not be graded reserves in the championship at those averages especially Brennan on that average, aiming to bring on the likes of Edwards/Gilkes etc. No dought we'll know by May.

Probably the same team as 2020? Was under 41 with Edwards on a 2 and now 39 points for 6 riders and assuming Edwards now a grade 2 should fit in the new system ?

Or both maybe if Eastbourne have to adjust the team due to a points reduction?

Got a feeling they'll be a points lowering, or something similar, even so sure we'll have a strong team even if we have to make a change, just hoping we can still start with Jason and Drew at reserve.

Basically Eastbourne's plan over the last five years(and for longer to be honest), Saturday night first choice, if not Sunday afternoon always seem to have had a fair amount of youngsters watching, with juniors before and/or after. Have had the pleasure of seeing the likes of Kennett, Bridger, Brennen, Edwards, Abblit plus many more over the years grow from just being able to straddle a bike to adult racing.

Still looking positive for Eastie after the BSPA statement. Whatever the exact makeup of the teams, points etc, with an all British team policy since we dropped to the NL to date, with Brennen, Kemp and Edwards our young British rider gateway is already in place, build the team around those 3 would be my choice.

Insane or stupid( take your pick) if they do.

Was going to put a like by your post, but would feel guilty with the death of a couple of friends. But as always light the touch paper, stand back and get a great reply.

Would imagine maybe it'll stay 6 in the Premiership, and with a short season, maybe easier to arrange a meaningful one with 6 teams anyway and complete it. Talking of the vaccine have you had yours yet John? If not must be imminent I imagine?

Eastbourne engaged with families when they had to drop to the National league, and are/were making great strides doing the same in the Championship. If for arguments sake we had the pleasure of seeing the likes of Tom Brennen, Drew Kemp etc for the next few seasons, developing into heat leaders but eventually becoming as good as Bewley and Lambert, if the situation is still the same with Poland, I would still applaud their ambition if leaving British speedway is the only way to go/improve, hoping eventually to see them in the GP's, same applies to Bewley and Lambert as well. There is an argument we're feeding the Polish league with our top riders, but we can't compete at the moment, and only a select few will be good enough to go to the top in Poland, so a high proportion of the young riders we develop will be racing here for years to come.

Probably virtually none, but if he reads the forum, at least it'll put his mind at rest making the decision he has.

Maybe from about the end of May to end of August ?

I magine if you're a Weds or a United supporter there is only one team in Sheffield they want to do better.

How about a generic combination of both sports, perhaps Speedogging Avenue, or something similar?

You would think not , but assume people thought the same with tobacco advertising 20/30 years ago?

Yee must be funnin gadgie, a southerner canna dee tha....

Is anyone else having trouble with Google translate, doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment....

who'll be the first!!

Indeed, I live not far from Goodwood car circuit and they aren't allowed a permanent structure, other than the listed ones that have been there for decades, but put up ( and take down) a fair number of large temporary stands every year.

Is that forum or promoter nuggets?

I think the guessing on teams will start in the new year and I'm sure it will be minus virtually all European riders, and if a points limit is set early on. Big difference making a team on 35 compared to 38/9, so almost impossible to guess at the moment. Low limit normally means a greater discrepancy in ability throughout teams , so hope it's at the slightly higher end of the range really, with enough British and Commonwealth riders to go round.

Wasn't 'All fur coat and no knickers' a 70's film I seem to remember in my youth?
