From the Eastbourne website:Eagles: 1 Knight, 2 R/R for Wood, 3 Bailey, 4 Powell, 5 Brennan, 6 Saunders, 7 Bates. Warriors: 1 Cockle, 2 Widman, 3 Wilson, 4 Campos, 5 Coles, 6 Sealey, 7 Bursill.

Meeting postponed

You couldn't have a guest for him as he isn't your number 1, however when the new averages come in at the end of the month he will then go to number 1 so then you will be able to get guests for him.

Does anyone know who Charles Saunders is? He as just been added to the Eagles team profiles page, so is presumably the new reserve.

He will miss 4 meetings; Isle of Wight (H), Isle of Wight (A), Lakeside (H), Mildenhall (H).

I believe that the rider wearing no 6 was Eddie Kennett and I think the other rider was Nick Laurence.

Good to see that Georgie is getting his first outing in the Championship tonight, guesting for Berwick.

I think that Jake Knight is guesting for Max Clegg as Clegg is riding for Edinburgh.

That's what I was thinking.

It was meant in terms of a guest as Stoneman has now signed for Sheffield and Sheffield have a meeting on Saturday so Coles is guesting for him.

Jamie Halder replaces Shelby Rutherford.

Brennan has an exam in the afternoon so won't be able to make it to Birmingham in time.

Interesting to see that on the new greensheet averages the Matt Saul has been declared in the team not Alex Spooner.

I'm going for a 51-39 scoreline

That is the rider order that I would have gone with but according to an article in the Argus the new riding order is:1) Brennan 2) Bates 3) Knight 4) Wood 5) Baseby 6) Spooner 7) Powell

The changes would have to be made before Saturday.

If Jake came in Brennan would still be number 1 as Tom's average will be 10.25 whereas Jake would come in on 8.54

Eastbourne have said they can't get any medical cover at the meeting next week.

Eagles: Mark Baseby, Kelsey Dugard, Ben Hopwood (Guest), Mattie Bates, Georgie Wood, Charley Powell, Tom Brennan Potters: Mitchell Davey, Shaun Tedham, Ryan Terry-Daley, Tony Atkin, Luke Priest, David Speight, David Wallinger

Not sure how Bates is a poor second string when in his 3 meetings before the Mildenhall one his scores were 9, 6+1 and 9+1. Also the reason he had a bad meeting at Mildenhall was because he blew an engine?.

Bates is fit enough to ride tomorrow at Mildenhall, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn will guest for Connor Coles who is riding for Newcastle and Charley Powell is unavailable as he is riding grasstrack.

Ryan Macdonald confirmed as the last rider

No 50 was Nathan Ablitt.

The press and practice is at 3pm
