Alex2000 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Harley parade like the gp where they take the riders round on the back of the Harley's! - beautiful bikes that sounds pretty cool! Is it a one off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 wouldnt be good to let the real little kids have a ride before the start of the meeting, the Thompson Twins do it at Coventry beofre the meeting also at Lakeside and Kent they go round before the meeting, Wonder now bob is not in charge if the kids get to have a ride on his lovely track before it all happens. Cant wait to see the show / Meeting, Maybe they will go the all the way and put up a decent programme for this year rumours have it that young blood has pushed it hard but we will see. Go Eastbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Connor Dugard facebook - 'checking out the opposition' @ kent Kings speedway with Bradley Wilson-Dean & Tom Brennan, I also see that Bradley was at Rte House Saturday, Lakeside Friday & Swindon Thursday! I know 2 of those teams aren't in this league but I think the management are showing they mean business as from Eastbourne that's about 550 miles round trip! I'm really excited for the first race on Friday! Unfortunately I saw Connor posted a photo on Twitter saying 'all of 50 fans at kent' admittedly there looks about 30 people in the photo but still bit of a low blow from Connor unless he was just trying to boast the fact that Eastbourne had 300-400 people at their press day?

Yes, I noticed that comment from Connor and I really think he is hooked up in the excitement of the new Eastbourne. I am sure it was meant more as a positive thing to Eastbourne than a negative thing against Kent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well i looked at the comment from Connor and to be honset looking at the photos a good 50 people were there mainly riders and family, When Eastbourne had there press day they had approx 500 people 200 hundred of them were companies and the other 200 were fans and 100 were riders and family. This means that its working for Eastbourne also they have a good team, so going on what connor put up was a low attendance for a press day as your ment to launch the club and i have to say i wont be going to Kent anymore unless Eastbourne are there?Eastbourne still have the Elite League feeling but place, its had a big Tidy up during the winter and starting to look young again, can this League take that at this level or will they all have to step up to Eastbournes Level. Len Silver was telling everyone that pass the word on about Kent Speedway and we are the voice of the people, nice one Len " you got it wrong" same as Bob Dugard all those years ago, The voice of speedway is the internet media, such as face book, forums and twitter, Reaches more speedway fans and public then word and mouth now adays also a local news paper cant match the internet, You have to say the way that Eastbourne have pushed it this winter has certainly got the feeling of it again, Bring Back the crowds to Eastbourne. Well done to all involved and i wish them all the Best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 No disputing who won battle of P&P but its paying spectators that keeps clubs afloat. I tip my hat to Connor for the social media involvement and advertising he has generated although ultimately that is his job. Kent had good crowds for the most part last year (barring the odd cold night and Scunthorpe's visit) an I expect the numbers to be similar this year. Eastbourne had a good turn out for P&P but how many will pay to watch week in week out? I hope the numbers are good and that Eastbourne survives however its results & figures that matter not hype & hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just seen it on Twitter about Eastbourne off to sign another rider at practice tonight? mid week practice they must really be pushing out the team to make it work? Strange but wonder who it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikko Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Would be interesting if Mr Silver and Connor had to work together lol. Think they might be poles apart on speedway "promotion" in the 21st century 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Most the people were sat in the various executive suites. I know I did not stray to far from the complementary buffet and tea.... lol. What also needs considering is the weather forecast which if completely accurate would of meant no action at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
