Gemini Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Probably Leicester have taken over the top spot now as they are new to the league and lots of different tracks to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldeneagle Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I don't know what other clubs take but Coventry often have a coach and many cars. I'd be amazed if Coventry are not one of the best supporter teams at Eastbourne. Coventry certainly one of the top 3 supported clubs that visit Eastbourne and in the past they have come by coach although I dont think they did last season. Lakeside and Poole being the other well supported clubs at Arlington. Probably because we mostly race Saturday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Anyone that supported Coventry away deserved a medal last season. It was bad enough watching them at Brandon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle727 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Funnily enough there's very little mention of this meeting on the official Eastbourne website... Â Anyone got any idea of what the "Coventry" line-up might be...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 It's an old promoters trick to keep the line ups a secret, but in these days of the internet it's hard to keep anything under wraps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedybee Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I see Trevor Geer is gloating in Speedway Star that Eagles got Bridger on board before Coventry could book him as a guest for Harris.. he has to do something to build interest in this fixture I guess 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Would agree there with the addition of Leicester, they came down with a coach load for the first fixture plus a few cars and know that they are coming down again at the end of the month. They have a really good supporters club at Leicester which is really great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB252 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 It's our own ineptitude / lack of commitment from Andersen that sees us in this mess.  No problem with Eastbourne running the fixture. Don't expect them to squander a prime Saturday date just because the Bees can't get their house in order.  Not surprised Geer is having a chuckle about beating us to Bridger as a guest. I mean, our managment team have only known since about January that Bomber would be missing. Probably can't believe his luck!  So Bees line up with:  1. Junior (TBC) 2. Howarth 3. Fisher 4. Hansen 5. Skornicki (G) 6. Nielsen (G) 7. Sarjeant  Should hit 25 with ease! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballinger Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Time and again over the years we have seen fixtures take place with guest select line ups, I recall Bees travelling to Eastbourne in 2008 (?) with just Burza & Messing of their regular line up, 4 guests and RR. Â The same last year as Swindon were forced to visit Brandon on their only visit of the campaign with a similar make up. Â King's Lynn visit to Birmingham tonight with 3 guests for their 3 Danes on the same night as the Danish Final that was brought forward a day when the date of the Finish SGP was confirmed. Â Appreciate that with Lynn and Brummies both being Wednesday night tracks its never easy to organise fixtures between them, but would it not have been more sensible to have had another team at Perry Barr this week (last night) ? Â The SEC competition muddies the EL waters even further, its listed on Peter Kildemand's website that he is scheduled to race the 3rd SEC qualifier at Zarnovica next Saturday, the same night as Swindon are due at Eastbourne, so two weeks on the trot Eastbourne will face visiting teams without their number 1 and no facility available for their absence. Â Would it not have been better to have switched the Bees & Robins visits there ? or perhaps the DMU can explain why their 2 nominations for the SEC cannot be switched to the other weekend, so Hans could be at Zarnovica on the 24th and Kildemand at Krsko on the 17th ? Or is that too sensible ? Edited May 15, 2014 by ballinger 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hoping we have Steve Worrall as no 1 Why? Worrall will get 0. May as well go cheap and get Brandon Freemantle to ride. He'd probably be there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 He's injured.he'll cost even less then fair enough, point stands, I'd offer the chance to a rider who doesn't want paying and is happy to get a few laps in. Must be a few out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukasdrymllukas Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Saturday racing does seem to have its advantages for Eastbourne... Steady on.... Â We redress the advantages by being dogsh*t at every away meeting !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
