M.D

He most defiantly has not retired from the sport, he needs to take stock and invest in his set up, if he does that then he can improve as a rider.

Gordon Kennett. I watched him as a kid at school when he was at the top of his game and then enjoyed him when he dropped down a division to spearhead Eastbourne once more. One of the most underrated riders England has had, an Eastbourne legend..

50-40. Game on..

Maybe £10 a point doesn't cut it..

I wouldn't hold your breath if I was you..

Not at all Bob my old Arena buddy.. Yes Eastie will now look towards cup meetings this season. I did say, good at home but shocking away, its a year of re building and the cup runs are a bonus built on that cauldron of hate they call Arlington.. Still, and you won't like this, Jon Cook and Eastie are a marriage made for each other. Judge the complete package in a year or so..

We are not exactly the form team away from Arlo, but you never know.. Im not disappointed with how our season has gone, giving young Edwards rides is a good thing for next season. Fantastic at home, shocking away but its a season of re building, I would expect us to be a different side away next season..

equally as good at home as we are shocking away..

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of theFelix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor,Jon Cook. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next or any Glasgow meeting...

Yeah we did, Eastbourne are shocking away this season.. But then, the remit of the club this season was to move up a league, establish a better fan base at home and rebuild with a sustainable business model. Boxes being ticked..

The lad is struggling with an injury, your constant conspiracy theory really does not hold any water..

Not that it matters but the 39 is reputation, not posts. Just because I don't post that much and of course for not many years now, doesn't mean I can't have a view point..

You've been on this forum about as long as I have, still spouting drivel then..

Really?

I don't think Tai is particularly worried about his number one British status at this moment...

Yeah, I would imagine he will be a squad rider if things are consistent with the leagues next season..

Could be a tight one this, R/R for Georgie made us stronger away but we will be a lot poorer at home without him. Charlie Brooks at 8?

I would imagine that Eastbourne built the team way before it was confirmed they had joined the CL, its building a cost effective side over a season or so that will challenge..

I get what you're saying about Georgie Wood and his set up. Drew Kemp is mentally fragile, technically good, but question marks remain about him and if he will fulfil his potential..

Eastbourne have been poor away from Arlington so far this season so it should be an easy win for the steel men. However, Eastbourne's top end will do damage and Georgie Wood may be a trump card as a former tiger with a point to prove.. I will still go with a Sheffield win but with a few scares for Sheffield as they will need to work for the result..

Totally agree, An area that's being worked on along with machinery.

Georgie Wood has just got back his engines from the tuners, interesting to see how the Eagles go...

Big meeting for Eastbourne tonight and Georgie Wood, could be a season defining moment for both..Eastbourne need to bounce back with some good performances needed from a few riders and Georgie has got 3 engines back from having work done (Which has showed with his IOW results this week) Points needed from both club and a few riders..

Fair point MD, its going to take Eastbourne a while to build again and the loss of Tom is a massive blow. I don't think we are a bad side, slightly unbalanced but the club is trying to move forward on and off the track so time will tell if we will get it right long term...
