Didn't think my guess was anywhere near up to heat 9, but the big guns did the business again with the back up of Wood. If we can get the other 3 firing especially Morley and Bowtell , Tom was a bit unlucky today, we will be a playoff potential team as thought by Eastie fans at least. Just be interesting to see how we fair in the next few weeks with the away matches, probably lose them but if we can keep the losses to under 10, just shows how hard it'll be to beat Eastie on an aggregate basis in any competition.

Eastie have come on in leaps and bounds since the first encounter , think it'll be a big win again, perhaps hit the 60 mark once more, if not somewhere near that. As long as Lawson arrives, otherwise still be a win but a far narrower one.

With Easties point's haul last night a bit unlikely I would have thought.

Shame, had too many injuries for a young rider already.

Think his main asset for someone so young is he's always looked in control, never looks out of shape. As he gets more experience and strength he'll get faster but looks like he'll always look neat, as you say a bit like Scott Nicholls.

Nailed on 2 pointer for next season I imagine (and hope).

Say it as you feel Sings, don't dance around the subject

Disregarding the good racing, Kev Coombes was worth the extra £3 admission over last season alone. Think we can only build on this, Wood Morley and Bowtell will improve, next Sat against Somerset will be a sturner test, although think we'll get more point's at reserve.

Can't see Eastie fighting for the wooden spoon, not with their legendary home advantage especially with a lot of riders in this league having never seen the track. Still I'm happy, can't remember any prediction over the last 20 years that Eastbourne were rated that highly for playoffs even in the NL over the last few seasons, and we didn't do too badly in that, or the ko cup.

Sure Jason will be a 2 point reserve next season if all goes well this year, be interesting to see if Charlie can make the step up in the nl this season.

Great news, again applaud the club on the direction they want to go in signing young riders like the Spillers, keep the conveyor belt of young talent going

He did ride Eastbourne pretty well and beat Adam Ellis fair and square once as I recall so not too bad on a technical track, but doesn't have the consistency that Brennen and Kemp seem to have even now and by the time they're 20 think they will have moved to a different level again.

Some of us are a genius in our own lifetime, some a genius in their own mind.......

Was tried in the Elite league back in the early 2000's and dropped after a season being universally disliked as what Tsunami suggested did happen. No system is fair, unfortunately what we have is about as fair as it's going to be, it's the club/promotion manipulation of it that causes the most grief.

Brilliantly put case for Sheffield, only problem is the nose bleed us southerners get travelling north of Watford

Oooh put those claws away

No Aussies, no visas , Eastie will be unbeaten at home and pick some up away, think that's enough for the playoffs then who knows!

When you look at the goings on at other clubs ( Berge at Somerset, Workington pulling out etc) it makes the current situation at Eastie seem even more admirable. An all British team certainty capable of the payoffs, management/promoters doing their utmost in obtaining secure sponsorship and backing, and making appointments that the fans want such as Kevin Coombes. Happy days for Eastie fans at the moment.

Even when it was raining! Can't wait, memories of the early days of the Elite.

Hopefully Kev Coombes, made so much difference to the atmosphere when we were in the Elite league.

Just had a study of it, as you say it's a cracking site, so sharp, clear and informative.

Think Eastie have loaned them the interval draw machine and a monkey to turn the handle.

When you think the Eagles nearly ceased to be 4 year's ago, think the exciting steps Dugard, Cook and Jordon have taken in the current economic and speedway climate deserves to be applauded and be successful. I'll be expecting to do as many meetings as I can this season despite my 100 mile plus round trip.

I've been banging on for year's saying make the limit 42 in all 3 leagues and set it for 2/3 seasons. Everyone knows where they are at the begining and end of season and can build accordingly straight away. Will never happen though too simple.

Start a petition for the tunnel again? Actually scrub that, think it might upset your headline sponsor!
