Alex2000 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 National league meeting think the NT one has been dumped now. The return of our number 7 of last season Danny Halsey should prove interesting to see how he does at this level on this track. We will be without Spiller as he is riding in Germany so will it be Powell or Strudwick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 yesssssssss, a saturday meeting again so here we come . halsey to do well but not get the better of bwd as he's not adam ellis. whether it's strudwick or powell should be a good win for the eagles, my guess 56 - 34..

Hunters Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Powell for me, another Grass track convert this year and probably nailed on for no 7 next year unless they leave him out to keep his average at 3.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the eagles would still have to run the home fen tigers trophy match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 that's not a bad idea. Do NL first though so they aren't used to the track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee jay Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 National Trophy match is being run on Saturday 12th September 7:30pm bit pointless really but its speedway so I will take it. that's good news for us, we'll take any saturday racing there is. is there any signs/rumours of the trophy final dates as my 'driver' has kept 2 days off for the trophy and koc as they're likely to be sundays but if someone books the days off before him that's it.

gee jay Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Yes, it's speedway and the season goes on - unlike those EL days. Â Should have been ridden earlier but there you are. It would be a mockery to leave the competition incomplete. Â Also keeps our lads on track in the build up up to the final which has to be a good thing. Â Those of us with long memories remember how Eastbourne were caught cold in the first ever play off to decide the EL title. We were top of league and didn't ride while the other four teams went through a qualifier. When the time came Wolves were hot and we were cold. my memory isn't brilliant but i did remember it slightly different from you. i didn't put it down to any break from racing as i thought they did well in the away leg but then totally blew it in the second leg, i always put it down to over confidence more than anything but either way thinking about it it's hard to believe it was 14 yrs ago. a friend who's a wolves fan still keeps asking me if i would like a dvd of this final to which i not so politely decline. NT finals are away at Rye Saturday 19th September and Home at Arlington Sunday 20th (2pm) Nothing on KOC thank you alex, i'll let him know to book it in today.

Still my most painful memory is speedway (Other than seeing riders badly hurt). My kids were inconsolable and I was not far off and so soon after the memories of my best moment in speedway, when we won the league in that awesome match against Kings Lynn. I have always wondered if that was the match that gave Sky the idea of the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I can't wait for it not to be raining when the meeting was meant to be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 This is crazy, Three miles from the track and not a drop of rain and the cloud formation to the west is exactly the same as overhead. The BBC hourly weather forecast a few hours ago changed from showers between 14.00 and 15.00 then clear until 22.00 to the latest which is no rain until 24.00. There has to be another reason! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Maybe we should hope you go out without a coat and get soaked I will stand outside at 7:30 whatever the weather and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
