  1. No, NDL was never on the cards, they just don't want it back, simple..
  2. Hammers line up Alfie Bowtell Jack Kingston Ben Morley Rhys Naylor Jason Edwards Jacob Clouting Two teams close to my heart, Eastbourne being my team and also Lakeside due to my involvement with Adam Shields, now many years ago..
  3. Really sad and the track still sits there and the stadium is still in use, but its not Bob now but Eric and Paul unfortunately.
  4. Not while the Dugard's own Arlington no and this could be the last representative side put together by Michael and David.
  5. The Wimborne road track has never really been spot on has it..
  6. I know it really shouldn't be in this section but come on, give me some slack on this to get some publicity! Eastbourne Eagles are riding on Sunday at Iwade Sittingbourne against the Thurrock Hammers (Arena/Lakeside) The meeting starts at 12pm. Gates open at 10am, Raspberry lane, ME9 8SP Adults £13 Concessions (60+) £10 Children under 16 free with a paying adult. And what a line up managed by Eagles legend, Dave 'Floppy' Norris. Scott Nicholls Edward Kennett Nathan Ablitt Paul Starke Jody Scott Henning Loof. Should be good fun with that line up!
  7. Nice to see him out again and looking after one of our own..
  8. With his Dad, Kelsey Dugard and some bloke called Floppy..
  9. Baek not really an upgrade on Newman is he, what scored 12 points in 6 meetings..
  10. Arlington Stadium, Eastbourne, is still a fully operational stadium with a speedway track still in situ that the owners will not let anybody use.. That's really sad..
  11. Best thing Tom Brennan did was move away to the midlands and away from the South coast set up IMHO.
  12. Glad that Emil is not too bad, awful crash that could have been far worse.
  13. This is on BSN I think? Weather report for all us southern softies?
  14. How did Kyle Newman's replacement, Patrick Beak, look?
  15. You have to feel sorry for riders like Kyle Newman, only riding in one league his season has been fragmented and never really got going. You can't expect a rider to get going with such large gaps in his racing calendar, good rider with still a lot to offer the sport.
  16. I have a few memorable meetings but my first is Eastbourne V hull in the early 80's I had been to a few meetings at Arlington since 1976 but was really young so don't remember that much. I went to Arlington still as a kid with friends on our bicycles to watch Eastbourne V Hull. Prompted by my mates I went and got a few autographs in the pits before the start, going back to my mates I asked 'Who was that?' That's Ivan Mauger was the reply.. I was hooked from heat 1, GK scored a full max, Kelly Moran and Paul Woods also went unbeaten in a 48-30 win. The rest for me is history, sometimes it's not the magnitude of the meeting but what it means at a personal level.
  17. Steve was not having a dig about the venue, I live in Brighton so I can't make it in person so I pay my money to discovery+ hoping that filters down to the sport in a small way. And about your dig about the lack of tracks in the south, call yourself a fan of the sport? I, along with others have tried our best to get the sport back to Arlington and I know our friends at Lakeside have done the same.
  18. Yes they do but don't wright the lad off as just a throttle jockey, he has a lot of potential, how far he will go will depend on a lot of factors but he does have a lot going for him.
  19. good people will always try to find the best in people, no idea if this is true but keep being like the rest of us, a good solid person..
