I heard last night that Eastbourne have done a deal with an EL club and sold all the NL riders to them? anyone heard any more on that and if its true.
-
Thats all great about taking extra riders to meetings but thats all again a cost for the clubs, Lets say that Eastbourne are at Buxton and they bring someone from Exeter or from Cumbria, who then has to pay the travel then if that rider wants to turn up he will want at least a little bit towards his racing that day so bingo you have another 2 bills to pay. seems a great idea on paper if you have local lads to the track to put in at 8 / 9 but who knows they wont be popular with the home teams to ride week in and week out to score against them? maybe i am missing the point.
-
I cant see Eastbourne wanting to change anything, Just go along with the flow of things and work like the new unit of people that run the club, If all the other teams are going to do it then i am sure Eastbourne will be happy to fall inline. I cant see anything special to come out this AGM. Possible they might try to stop the Spillers trying to race in England but i think both of them holding UK passports and also racing in the Youth championship in 2013 would be a silly mistake. What else can you change to a league that is one of the best of the 3 for Entertainment and value. Seems it didnt take that long to forget EL at Eastbourne.
-
Looks like Brad has got a place next year accoriding to some of his facebook post but it would be nice for him to show his face at Eastbourne at some stage during the year. Any news on any other riders for the 2016 team.
-
Well we will all know but this time next week whats going on, I think split the difference make it 39 then its not 38 and not 40 lol
-
well i guess its up to the ones that are in control as the way i look at it from a supporter the higher the number the better the teams the harder the racing will be and then bigger improvements in the league, and i think this is the problem we need to bridge the gap between us and the rest of europe step up in every league. Just my thoughts but maybe i am wrong but i find that hard to believe lol.
-
Looking at the Tweet for the NL speedway it offers a 38 point or a 38.1 to 40 so i cant see where there is a 36 point limit comes from?
-
Well done to IT First for sponsoring the club again, so important for the team and fans to know that they have the backing of a professional company that is at the top of their game. Sponsoring local clubs and Brighton Hove Albion along with Kids clubs and charity events. A big thank you to them and I will wear my Eastbourne IT First jacket with pride this year, Just need the track shop to get me one for my other half and the kids this year lol.

Seems like a very strong team at the moment if Ben is not number one who is it going to be, Spiller has exams so he cant play, Dugard is ruled out as he has not got a team place, Strudwich says he has high standards and ready for 2016 but he is not a number 8 let alone a number 1, Nothing from Richard, BWD says on facebook he has news, fingres crossed he is going to a PL, GW is signed so its all up in the air at the moment. Think i can feel another good season going to happen, Maybe its Nathan Greeves? as he would fit with 38 points.
-
interesting in the £8k whats that a week for keepeing the heating on and a roof over the track or is that what the elite league club lost per week?
-
Team building is one thing but getting it right is another, I have looked at the teams around and if you throw a team together is will never work, you have to look and run the team as a little family, and if everyone is happy then your get 5 points or more from a happy team. Would have thought that Eastbourne would have come out and named another rider, maybe we could have another surprise.
-
Brads did say he wants to go PL just they have put a big average on his neck, he is good enough to do it just means that someone has to step forward and pick the young lad up, I was surprised that brad has not yet been collected by anyone at the moment but its a waiting game for everyone. Good news on GW another good rider to build around,
-
well i hope that Niall finds a place as well, I have to say its a hard one to put together but i know from the past years at Eastbourne if your face fits you stay, but maybe this is where the club went wrong, but i might be wrong again, lets see what the points limit is and bingo we see the team come together.
-
Just seen about Kelsey, Shame but he did tell everyone that he didnt want to ride for Eastbourne in 2016 as he was hard to ride when your father and brother run the team, Seems he shot himself in the steel boot. lol Time for him to look else where or see if anyone wants to come forward for him.
-
Is that right that Kelsey has put on facebook that he thinks he cant ride for Eastbourne in 2016
-
If Wilson dean can get a UK passport which he can but not for 3 years means he could come into the PL on a 3. so does that make it right! because he can get one with out a problem must mean he is able to ride in the PL as an English Man. If he is not allowed to get an English passport must mean he is not English. Still makes a joke of it all, it really needs a promoter to take a chance on him and see if he is made out of the stuff we think he is. Give the guy a chance someone.
-
The SCB and BSPA seem to have a problem, They have made a rule but it does not cover them either way, BWD has ridden in the Nl and should go into the PL on a 3, he is box office at 3 at 3 pointer and will bring the crowd in to see him ride, He had an ACU licence for 2 years, This is Why British speedway is going down hill because someone wont do anything for the good of the sport. BWD may never come back to race for anyone in the UK, again British speedway will shoot its self in the foot, British Speedway, Load, Fire, Aim. when it should be Load aim fire. LOL (just in case someone from the BSPA does not get that Joke).
-
wow thats ok then thought they had gone mental trying to race the same night at Lakeside.
-
I heard we are going for Friday nights can anyone tell me if thats true, Means No Spiller, but i hope its just a rumour.
-
Slight problem with Spiller going to Kent, Its a Monday and he has School so cant see him going anywhere until he has either finished school or a weekend track? Possbile Buxton as he no quite mastered that one yet.
-
If BWD goes to PL then we need someone to replace him who is going to up there average. So you either have to go for a Big Gun or 2 who are able to enjoy the seaseon being looked after, not many clubs out there that do what Eastbourne do. Maybe Ayres Morley or Hopwood, tough for the management, but i am sure they will have something special to tell us all soon.
-
so by midnight we know the Eastbourne Team lol
-
Richard was unlucky to blow and engine same as woods in the meeting before and the same as Spiller and hopwood, its that time of year when you think the motors can just do one more race. Eastbourne have done more meetings then most teams so thats the reason why other wise the engines would be out of the bikes and boxed up in a blacket and put away for the winter lol like a little hedgehog. But thats life nobody can tell when an engine will go pop, also nobody can book a team place for sure, Spiller put on twitter he loves Kent and Coventry? who knows and who can tell. Its a waiting game for all concerened. Danny Ayres and Verge say they love Eastbounre?
-
Does anyone no when the NL AGM
