sussex bulldog Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 It is surprising but it has generated a lot of publicity on facebook and I hope that a big crowd will turnout. It will be an opportunity to see some big stars as well as four of the 2014 Eagles, not that they are not big stars of course ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophies Mate Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Think Joonas has managed to get a cracking line up for this meeting, believe that there will be a pretty big crowd for this be good to see a big crowd at Arlington for a change!

sussex bulldog Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Really looking forward to this but I guess it will be pretty cold as it usually is at this time of year and thermals are advised ! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifordukesfan Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 As a father with son pair of Bradford fans down for Havvy's farewell, we thought we'd take in Eastbourne as well, but we came away (after heat 12 actually) disappointed, thought the crowd was poor for an opening meeting and the racing mediocre,appreciate it's a small tight track and we're used to getting our weekly fix at big, fast tracks, currently Sheffield and previously Bradford, so shouldn't really judge it on 12 races. Thoughts on Arlington stadium, well lit,both track and centerfield, good and numerous catering facilities, track was well prepared for so early in the season, but overall impression was that this is a classic example of why speedway venues need dragging into the 21st century if new followers are to be won over to speedway, I know it all comes back to money, but you've got to speculate to accumulate.

sussex bulldog Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I was at Arlington and very dissapointed by crowd number but I guess this was down to the bad weather. I do not believe the track was up to usual standard but Bob and his crew worked hard to get the meeting on. There is a full report on live updates.

Mike.Butler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Hmm. as usual i'm afraid very little pasing during an Arlington meeting. Having watched 2 really good meetings so far at Peterborough and Plymouth (large and small) i'm not sure what the probem with the Eastbourne track is..i've read many times it's a 'trick track'..but why exactly?

cityrebel Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It's the shape mike, there have been plenty of small tracks like wolves, mildenhall and trelawny that have produced good racing. There are others like eastbourne, lakeside and crayford that are/were tricky. To be fair The racing at rye house has improved in the last few seasons.

Racin Jason 72 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 What was the crowd like. Someone who claimed to be there said there were only 150. That can't be right ? Looked a really good line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
