cityrebel Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I know there is very little interest in this fixture, so I thought I would get the ball rolling. Rory makes the lions a lot stronger, but not enough to stop the eagles at Arlington. Any thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven101 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Eagles should walk this really, will be going to this one hopefully be some good racing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Schlein for Hougaard makes a tremendous difference. Cannot understand why they are similar averages but around Arlington they are poles apart with Schlein somewhere between 4 & 7 points better dependent on how he feels. Should be a good tussle for the heat leaders who all go well here but after that I must say things may be bleak for the Lions bottom four. Hope I am wrong as we need some tight matches and they have been hard to come by this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. I bet there will be some better racing at Arlington than the processional stuff we are likely to witness in Prague!! You don't need top riders to make for great racing! and Uncle Bob reckons he loses more money on any 'off-racing' night!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven101 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Definately top riders dont always make best racing, thought eagles v cov couple weeks ago was gonna be poor but was a really good well fought meeting, looking forward to tonight now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophies Mate Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Pmsl why on earth are Eastbourne running a fixture on a GP night are they looking for financial suicide or something. Due to a few extra meetings this year and saturday nights being the best night to race for eastbourne its the risk they have to take and some fans prefer to be at a meeting watching it seeing as they can record the gp that way can fast forward through the adverts and waffle!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcts Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Great this fast track system is... Eastbournes reserves 17 paid 21 Leicesters reserves 1 point between them. What a farce,how possibly can this be fair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a farce,how possibly can this be fair. I don't know how difficult it is to arrange guests at fairly short notice, but Lions had 48 hours to get a replacement for their original guest, James Sarjeant,who was standing in for the injured Tom Perry before he was injured himself on Thursday. Perry is no.11 in the draft list so they could have anyone from no.12 downwards & they pick someone who is no.34 on the list. Surely they could have had someone better it's not like there was lots of other meetings on tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a farce,how possibly can this be fair. What do you expect when you introduce NL kids to the Eastbourne triangle for the first time ?, their track baffles enough proper EL riders.

mrcts Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Leicester picked poorly though so it isnt only the system to blame.I agree that they picked poorly....but we are lumbered with these guys all season,no disrespect to the riders involved as I'm sure they will be decent riders in the future but Leicester currently are trying to compete with one arm behind their back.If this same system is in place next season I certainly won't be renewing my season ticket.
