M.D

Supply and demand..

Im sure this is tongue in cheek but I watched him at Iwade towards the end of last season riding an upright. Looked good but as each race went on was shaking his arm more and more often. Spoke with some people who watched him at some grass track and said the same, starts well but the arm gets the better of him as the meeting progresses. Not fit and never will be IMHO.

Step brother, good on the grasstrack scene and it will be interesting to see how Charlie does, Kent lad with ambitions.

Charlie Wood signs .

We must meet up at Iwade next year..

THJ really wound up a few posters but I got on really well with him, We exchanged many private messages and he is a loss to this forum. I don't post that much but have been on the forum for many years now, having worked in the sport, sponsored a lot of riders over the years. As on the terraces, we have lost so many people on this platform over the years, some passed, some have just drifted away from the sport. This place is a sad reflection of how our sport has declined really and that's nothing against the BSF, just how it is.. RIP Shazzybird and London Witch, just two good friends lost..

Two more signings to be announced before Christmas..

Busy day at work, beat me too it 😀

Second rider is.. Jamie Ethrington.

Second rider announced tomorrow.

The name is on the tin, development. Yes, I would think part of entering will be down to the desire to win, but as the management of the Kent Eagles are showing (I am no part of this management team) they are showing the desire to not only bring the sport back to the south east of England but also showing they are putting in the foundations of training new riders to the sport. Hats off to Michael and David.

Exactly, Kent Eagles have said the side will be a mixture of youth and experience with the older heads helping develop the younger riders. They are also involved in the training days at Iwade along with Paul Hurry and Scott Nicholls.

Simples..

Well its on the British speedway site in the declared list for the Eagles

First signing for the Kent Eagles in the National Trophy. Ben Morley

Jason Grump?

What do you expect from an Eastbourne fan? Miss the old rivalry and good natured banter..

About 8.30 for me, usually fall asleep watching the racing on BSN by then at Poole..

That was the NORA format they had to go with but yes, a good format to watch..

I will tell you a story about Zagar when he was the Eastbourne number 1. Got a call from Adam Shields on a Thursday to say we had a guest booking at Eastbourne in place of Zagar on the Saturday. We turned up and was setting up when Mark Seabright, MZ's mechanic at the time and now Jason Doyles turned up with all Zagar's kit ready to race. Zagar didn't even give Mark the courtesy of telling him he wasn't riding on the Saturday even though we knew on the Thursday, Mark never worked for him again and I have had little respect for him after that..

Im sure Brennan is still a Glasgow asset, when Eastbourne folded his registration went back to the BSPL to cover debts and Glasgow got him on a cut price deal from the governing body.

I was involved in a shoot one season at Arlington with Adam Shields, Lee Richardson, Ed Kennett and Lewis Bridger. Great day and had some fun, at the end they asked if anyone had any ideas and I came forward with putting the camera on the track with the 4 riders doing a start with the shale flying over the camera and riders disappearing into the distance, a clip they used until they stopped their involvement. My claim to fame lol

Or he spends a lot more on his Polish set up and once the season in Poland finished, he moved it over to the UK.

This is a really interesting video. If you watch closely it really looks like he is rolling off the throttle on most entries to the corner and putting power on quickly afterwards to enter the corner and get the back end out which he has obvious speed with. Maybe its confidence, maybe not wanting to get involved but looks occasionally like he has a wrong approach to enter corners. If the latter, this can be coached out of him and as have I and many have pointed out, fabulous talent.

How do you know that the Poole promotion have not been proactive in looking at new and old sites?
