sussex bulldog Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 This could be one of our last 4 home meetings this year subject to cup, etc. We shall be there weather permitting and think this could closer than anticipated by some.

Alex2000 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 7:30 Pm start on Sunday guessing because Wood and Shanes have grass meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 7.30 on a Sunday evening might be ok for the locals, but it's no good for travelling fans or families with kids. My journey to eastie can take two hours from south london, and with a 5am start for work on Monday morning, it might mean a trip to rye house instead this Sunday.

catinthehat Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 seems that the people in charge are looking at whats best for both clubs, Good on them its not all about the club and more about the team to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 well i dont understand it. they don't want to run on saturday night because of the late finishing but then put it on when most people do have to get up for a monday. and if wood & shanes have been grasstracking all day surely they will be fit for nothing by 7.30.

catinthehat Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) They cant run it on a Saturday as its the Best pairs at Kings Lynn means no Owen or BWD also no Shanes or Morley? thats why they cant do Saturday Also he was noted how quick they run the last meeting against Birmingham was done and dusted by 9.15pm and could even cut a bit more off of that if parade is at 7.20 first race at 7.30pm Bob not on his tractor be done by 8.45pm lol Edited September 4, 2015 by catinthehat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Also with BWD, Owen, Morley, Shanes, all need to clean the equipment by Sunday midday if they need to travel, So more of a good time for the riders to make it a later start and clear the fixtures.

Alex2000 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Well, well, well, Kent certainly have one up on the Eagles after last night. Come on Eastborne, put those pesky Kings back in their place tonight. We have an unusually long tail tonight. Slightly worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings1st Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I have to say I'm really disappointed with the way Eastbourne played this one. Strudwick was listed as No.6 but then Spillers Germany racing gets cancelled so he's rushed back to Arlington to strengthen the team. Problem is he won't get there until around 8. We're told over the tannoy that the meeting is delayed due to the paramedic being late. There's a large hint of unfair about this. Unfair to the paying public who have had to wait and massively unfair to Niall Strudwick who had a face like thunder on the parade lap of a meeting he wasn't going to ride in. If someone from Eastbourne management can show proof that this is all genuine I'll take this post down. Until then it's poor from a promotion that has done so much positive work for the sport.

catinthehat Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Too right but look at it another way as always 2 sides to every story. Spiller was in Germany and Niall was in the Team all agreed.Spiller German meeting gets cancelled and makes his way to Eastbourne. AgreedEastbourne look weak at reserve and with out knowing the result at Mildenhall when Spiller left Germany Eastbourne was always in with a shout for the league so they were just making sure they had covered all bases. Which is more then Eastbourne have done in the past. ( maybe Kent should do more of it )How would Strudwick feel if he was in the team at number 6 and Kent went on to beat Eastbourne. Apart from a great win for Kent it would look as if Niall would have let his team down and dumped them out the league. That would be soul destroying for Niall and possible career ending.This was all possible at 5pm on Sunday when Spiller landed.But again none of this happened. But could haveAs far as spiller arrived for heat 2 was about 10 minutes after the paramedic and heat 1 had already finished timing could not have been any better but if spiller was any later then I am sure he would have missed his first ride. As he was always going to do his rides well.As far as I am aware and was informed the paramedic was called out and had to prioritised being late by 20 minutes or saving someone's life. I know what I would do.As you said the club have done so much positive work this year why would you doubt that what happened was the truth.20 minute delay for a paramedic and a life saved. or as you have put it waiting for spiller to arrive?I think it's better you keep you post up to show how bitter you become. Martin Dugard was Spillers mechanic and when he was asked where is he his reply was he should have been here by 7.20.pm so going back to the paramedic he was always going to be late regardless of where spiller was.I don't think the promotion have to prove anything to anyone. spiller could have been earlier and sat around like everyone else waiting for the paramedic but as he was late and almost missed his first ride. The paramedic could have walked through five minutes Earlier and spiller would have missed his ride. so i guess you being bitter and trying to blame someone who was saving a life is more important to you then the reputation of a club that you dont suport, Eastbourne fans were left waiting 15 minutes at kent the lasat meeting for the paramedic? nobody complained about that. Niall is a nice guy but he is never going to make it in the NL, he is ok in the MDL and is a big hitter but thats about it, He is Eastbournes number 8 means he will get a ride when and if they need him. If it was football Niall turns up every week with clean boot and trains well but cant kick a ball hard enough to make a pass. Would you honesly put the guy in the Team if the league depended on it. Alex Furguson wouldn't. I am sure Eastbourne have explained it all to Niall a hard pill to swallow but maybe a reality check for him also. Reports have been 15 years on a 500cc and not a lot of improvement, as far as i can see he has good equipment so thats not the problem. ( maybe a shoter throttle cable ) or a very quick action throttle needed as the other 7 riders have them. I like the way Eastbourne is run thinking of the riders, Georgie who had grass track during the day that was running late so he was late to the track, Thinking about fans when there is a GP on the TV so there is a lot of planning going on. Len silver is the master of little plans, I was told in the world final at Wembley because the track dried out much faster then len thought he put it out across the PA system that there was a certain package planted in the staduim please check under your seats. This was a full staduim that was held up for 45 minutes. ( not sure if its true ) but i believe my information is correct. Kings1st i think its a bit harsh trying to blame a paramedic for being late who was on duty. Also the paramedic turned up before Spiller? Do you really think there is a small advantage to be gained a life saved, Kent had already given up before they arrived as they had won the Pairs so thats great news for them but was as a team in a different class last night. What would have happened if Georgie Wood had scored more? or would that have been the paramedics fault also? and there is no truth in the rumor that the Paramedic collected spiller from the Airport Edited September 7, 2015 by catinthehat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kings1st Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Bitter? Maybe but not because Kent lost. Its more about the damage to the reputation of the sport we all love and to a young riders confidence. Did you see Niall on the parade, he looked very unhappy. The medic may have been delayed but you must understand how it looks when so many other teams use tricks of this nature to gain any small advantage.

stevec Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Eastbourne did the right thing bringing Spiller in, it may be hard on Niall but its not unfair, spiller has the number 6 spot and he is faster. Regarding the paramedic, I think that is just speculation. You have to convince the away teams management, clerk of the course and the referee. I admit that a simple call can delay him/her but no-one knows this is the case. As for being unfair to the paying public, I know I would pay good money to see Daniel Spiller ride and certainly prepared to wait a while.

TurnTwo Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Spiller worth the admission fee alone few bad crashes but for £12 I wouldn't want to be elsewhere do on a Sunday good win shame we lost the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven101 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I know majourity would wanna see spiller out there 4 times rather than strudwick, it may be harsh but if ywour not good enough theres no point sticking you out there to score 0. You have to ask why hes never done a full season in a NL 1-7 because hes not good enough. Superb win for the eagles, looking forward to them hopefully winning the national trophy infront of the home fans in a couple of weeks! Hope double header next week is two big wins too.
