Hi mate, I have no idea who these guys are. In the last season of racing championship the gate was about 800 hitting 1000 a few times, so support is there

Manufacture, most of those fences are out of date, I think Lakeside's went to Iwade where of course it doesn't need to be tested as there are non league

Chris Louis on behalf of the BSPL did approach the Dugard's a couple of years ago about the return of the sport, but like us, was told no. Things have changed now.

Tell me more then..

Ball and chain may slow him down a bit..

I have a gut feeling, and only that, that there is a person/people working behind the scenes wanting to take Eastbourne into the premier next season. As I said, it's only a gut feeling but I'm sure something is happening, I may be of course, completely wrong.

If the fence is out of date, you can get a one year extension if approved after inspection, maybe it failed, so this could explain the late call to arms..

Whats the weather like this evening? deciding if to buy the stream or not.

It was Ian Jordan that wrecked Eastbourne speedway, He had riders on stupid guarantees, Chris Louis told me Richard Lawson was on more money at championship level for Eastbourne than he was for Prem Ipswich. The sport may be sustainable at Arlington but at prom level, doubt it myself.

Paul Woods tells a different story in an interview somewhere. Said he was promised bikes and when he turned up, no bikes so had to cobble a couple of bikes together, went from an 8.50 rider to a 4.50 rider in one fowl swoop.

Heating his rear tyre up near the start line.

Scunny are going to have to put in an exceptional home performance and then put their gating gloves on in the second leg and defend to stand any chance, cant see that.

I don't think there was one Eastbourne rider I didn't like or had respect for when they returned.

Two things about Bob Dugard, track prep and mind games. When Adam Shields moved to Lakeside and he came back to ride Arlington, Bob finished his track prep. Bob walked through the pits, then waled straight over and said," I thought I would rip the outside up but the thought, Shieldsy is here so I didn't." didn't have a great meeting. Then a year or so later, Adam Is guesting for Zagar at number one. Always interval after heat 10 but Bob came over and said, interval after heat 9, hes off 4 in 10 so let him know im ripping the outside for him. Adam scored 14 from 5 that night.

Bob Dugard the same, yes he set up the track for his home riders but could change the track during the interval.

RIP

Im not a fan of Lee Kilby myself..

Prize money only last night.

Bewley not fit at all

Thought you wrote that?

A31 still closed toward Ringwood then ?

As much as I agree, and I work in new build Construction, the council will not build on that side of the A22, its rural with lots of stables and no infrastructure in place for the area. Bob Dugard tried many years ago to sell the land for development, it just wont happen IMHO

Spliff Waterman?

Sadly, you now have your wish...
