Yes I think taxi is best option, I'm not local to Arlington but drive there regularly and I've not seen any public transport nearby and the stadium is a long way down a country road that definitely has no buses going down it. Car park opens 5p.m and turnstiles 6p.m, hope you enjoy your visit.

No we didn't have to doctor the track we won convincingly without two of our good scoring regular riders and Eddie hit form and carried on where he'd left off from Kent last Tuesday. Sour grapes definitely springs to mind.

Yes Eastbourne no 1 Lawson, so I think that means we've got Scott Nicholls instead so who are Leicester now having as guest? - Chris Harris perhaps (before someone takes this seriously it's a joke)

Scott Nicholls definitely riding, he's posted on Twitter he won't be in the BT studio today

If you believe speedway is dead you've obviously not been to Arlington (Eastbourne Eagles) recently. Why then are you wasting your time posting on this forum surely your time would be better spent commenting on/participating in things that are of actual interest to you.

Objection just lodged.

No thank you, at Eastbourne we have a simple and efficient online ticketing system we don't need the "powers that be" messing with it. Hopefully as Cityrebel said we'll soon be going back to pay on the gate which is much easier and preferred by many fans.

Totally agree, we drove down from Essex through wind, torrential rain in fact everything you don't want for Speedway but we kept going as we totally trust the Eastbourne weather guru.

Drove down from Essex through rain, flooded road etc, now 3 miles from track and weather looking good so looking forward to a good meeting with an Eagles win

I watched the GP qualifier live stream from Glasgow last week what a great meeting and very easy to sign up and watch. I'll definitely be watching this Friday and hoping for a good meeting and an Eagles win. I prefer going to meetings but Glasgow is a 7 hour drive for me so to watch the live stream is a no brainer and the price is OK as well.

Or get all Speedway meetings 're classified as "test events" just like at Donnington this weekend where they have a music event over 3 days with 10,000 people no masks and no social distancing. Bloody powers that be must think 1500 in a speedway meeting is a 100% Covid spreader.

Taken from Gov website:- "From 23 May the UK is designated as a virus variant area of concern, which means that you may only enter Germany from the UK if you are a German citizen, a resident or their spouse/partner/child under 18, or if you can invoke an urgent humanitarian reason such as an immediate family bereavement. No other travellers may enter Germany from the UK"

No way - home win for Eagles first fixture

Been looking forward to this for weeks and I can't remember the last time Eastbourne was rained off so gutted is an understatement. Still we have Eurovision on tele tonight to look forward to (I don't think, sorry I'm not a fan of that)

As you say it will be good to see speedway again regardless of result just hope the weather's OK it's been awful in Essex for last few days. Just seen on Eastbourne website that local council now say we have to wear masks outside as well as in and anyone without a mask who is not exempt will not be admitted or they risk being closed down by Council. Just hope things start improving in June.

I feel a bit sorry for the Ipswich promotion 're Masks as they probably have to follow Council rules or they can't run the meeting yet at Eastbourne Masks only have to be worn inside ie toilets and turnstiles. At Eastbourne entry is by pre bought ticket online only yet at Ipswich you can turn up and if they've not reached capacity you can pay at the turnstile with cash and surely money changing hands carries more germ risks than standing outside without a mask. Roll on June 21st

The following is taken from the official government website 're face coverings, one of the exemptions 're age might apply to a few speedway supporters !! Exemption cards If you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering: you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this you do not need show an exemption card This means that you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering. However, some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign. Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and is not required by law.

· It also says the following:- " If you are in a seated area when moving past others please avoid face to face contact with others" For goodness sake if you've got a mask on what difference will it make if you look at someone, especially as we can stand in the car park without masks and chat to people. What on earth has happened to common sense!! 21st June all restrictions are hopefully being removed so I won't be going to Ipswich before then.

Sorry I'm not sure, 2019 seems such a long time ago and 2020 I would rather forget.

Eastbourne Management are really good at keeping fans informed. There is an update on the Eastbourne website explaining online ticketing, double header pricing etc. I'd suggest anyone who is thinking of possibly taking a trip to Arlington this season reads the article asap and pass the word round as basically it's online tickets purchased in advance entry only as there will be no pay at the gate for probably the whole season. A short bit from the update is below, just wish other promotions were so pro active:- "We will have to work under ONLINE pay in advance Ticketing Arrangements for most, if not all of the 2021 season. We are trying to make as many supporters as possible aware of this via the Club website and social media, and to all fans who registered for updates via our website, which is free and easy to do."

Just signed. There has been over 1,600 signatures so far, the majority objecting with only a few hundred in support. Would be good if we could get over 1,500 or more objections. It's especially annoying that the new owners can start digging up the track before they've even got their planning permission passed (hopefully to be refused) total arrogance.

Here's a novel idea, more info and details etc on the Berwick Website. I'll be watching it and donating, wonder how many others will? the event is now scheduled for Wednesday the 21st of October at 7pm. * Pay what you like pay per view: Watch the British Under 21 Final from the comfort of your living room on your SmartTV or your household devices. Before, during or after the event head on over to www.berwickspeedway.com and pay what you feel the event is worth

Or how many realise how much they miss live speedway, I'll be at the first meeting of my team definitely.
