tbh eastie really ought to have won, bar ellis chucking 3 points away for brum there were countless errors and lost points for eastie last night.

 

ht8 was the worst, a cert 5-1 ruined when spiller picked up grip when miles clear, a 5-1 in ht 11 when bwd was trying to team ride andrews round and perry bombed round both, andrews fell a lap later to turn it into a 2-4, brad getting a 2m exclusion for exceeeding the time etc etc.

 

horrible way to potentially lose the league.

So you couldn't win by cheating and want another go ?

No need to cheat as Eastbourne have done nothing wrong, Birmingham won on the night and all the Eastbourne fans agree no problem we threw the meeting away it was ours to win. But again the best team won on the night, but won't it be funny if you was right about Dugard not doing his 3 rides and the meeting had to be rerun, Oh dear you are funny xxxx.

 

i guess no knowing the rules then saying that someone is cheating or want to cheat? you could get the black and white helmet colour double points for a silly comment but again speedway in not your best topic from some of your post.

 

Lets hope when or if we go back lets say in the Gold Cup if Eastbourne make it, Spiller in the Team and Andrews at reserve or hopwood or even owen with Dugard should help us be even stronger, Fingers crossed let the Eagles fly high.

 

i think your have to say it was one of the best meetings seen at Perry Barr and most enjoyable one for both sides and the result was the correct one.

 

just a big question out there can the teams make any changes now? or is it just guest replacements and R/R can be used.

great meeting last night, Slight delay but pushed the meeting on well. Speedway at night looks so much better and no dust prroblems, Spiller roder well, BWD was outstanding, Owen looked the fastest all season Dugard was better and didnt look like he was going to crash and Hopwood broke the track record. Georgie just had a bad day in the office but the rest of the team looked after him, Richard was unlucky for a wheel to fall apart causing him to crash in his ride while on a paid win. But they race as a team and thats what teams do look after every body.

Niall has been suckered by the whole No.8 fiasco that has occurred across the league this year not just at Eastbourne. All teams were required to name one but no team at any point has been required to use one (unless through choice).

 

Personally for next year I would limit the amount R/R can be used (twice home and twice away) then every other time use the no.8's to cover missing riders. Also give them the same rights as the reserves so they could cover 2 mins exclusions or any reserve rides when a reserve is struggling.

 

If they are required to be named then use them. There are riders crying out for a chance / experience and meetings taking place with R/R everywhere. Would certainly make the signing of the number 8 a lot more important than just whoever is prepared to turn up and stand around.

Season does not finish until the end of October. Brad I am sure is aware of it. Flights can be booked to suit fixtures if not we can use almost anyone to replace him if he has to go home early for any reason.

 

Maybe a job interview lol
