I agree and should improve on away form, a side that has pretty much already gelled.. That top line says a lot about the side when you look at it. Strong enough to let Tom Brennan ease back but I very much doubt he will need time. Team spirit will be high as its only really Drew Kemp as a newbe, the Eagles will build and fly high this year..

I was thinking of Ben, my bad and my age!

Agree, as a kid I watched many a rider grow up on that track and watched Kelly Moran, Erik Gundersen, Shawn Moran ride it to name a few for fun. The likes of Paul and Martin Dugard, David Norris, Mark Loram, The Standings, David Howe all grew up riding that track, a conveyer belt for a few riders..

Looking at other teams I would say top six easily. Lots of scope for improvement and most importantly the team has gelled already, on and off the track.

I like the look of this team, its well put together with a solid look and bags of potential. Far more balanced than last year and could be a force away from Arlo but of course we are yet to see other teams.

'Its very exciting news"

It could be Spiller, with the BSPA ratifying his starting average, hence the delay..

Doubt Georgie will be back but I could be wrong of course..

1. Kennett 2.Brennan 3. Kerr 4.Newman 5.Morris 6. Bowtell 7. Edwards

Nick Morris is a good shout depending on the points limit, I would think both Nicol and Shanes are not in the thinking, add Kennett and Alfie..

Gordon Kennett, Dave Jessup, Martin Dugard. David Norris, from an Eastbourne perspective. Im sure we can name a few from our own clubs..

Gordon and or Dave/Barney Kennett..

Replaced by Kent ? Oh the shame of it...

I wouldn't rule out Georgie myself for next year..

Im surprised nobody has mentioned this considering its already been reported by Plymouth..

As I said, Georgie is back in the Eagles line up on Saturday...

As always, there is more going on behind the scenes than gets told, Eastbourne would be wise to take him back on if he has the right set up..

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..
