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?

My Football team is playing in an hour, at home to Leeds in a sell out crowd of around 27000 paying fans. We loose well over £20 million a year, worst was £32 Million a few years back. That's mind boggling..

Your taking that post out of context and I think you know that. Yes he turned left on VF but rode right into him.

I don't really want to quote myself but I pointed out the issue over a year ago.

I said this before, he was doing this in his first season, hope he changes this but I can't see it..

I was at Iwade just over a week ago to watch Eastbourne V Lakeside, a small track that was slick. Eddie Kennett rode a 1984 upright and you could see the power difference the laydowns had over him from the start. Once the laydowns had the advantage Eddie rode really well on it making up ground on riders and looked far more in control and exciting to watch. You could see the power difference of course but got me thinking that this would be a far better meeting with them all on uprights..

See above

It was announced at Iwade last week that Michael Grey and David Graveling have applied to join the NDL running at the track with a Sussex Kent team..

I had a movement this morning, funnily enough, reminded me of your posts..

New club, not Eastbourne if the article is read..

NORA

Wonderfull servant to the sport, only met him a couple of times, RIP Len Silver.

No, Arran Butcher replaces Jody..

When he first came on the scene I watched him a few times on TV and he was shutting off a lot then when in traffic, I pointed this out on here, is it confidence or just plain fear?

Adam was world kettle ball champion a few years ago.

Couldn't believe it when he said that, correct call by the medical team, two bangs on the head.

Eastbourne fan so obviously Oxford but I spent a few years living in a village called Chinnor so watched Oxford during the Hans Nielsen, Martin Dugard Simon Wigg era, so Oxford for me..

None at all.

Anyway, this is more about supporting two great clubs back in action than highlighting the off track struggles..
