Hunters Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 If he is going to ride like that then they must snap Perks up. I think Islander has it spot on. Interesting to see how they go at Lynn this week which will suit Knight perfectly, but can they get a decent reserve by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I can only think perks had turned Connor down as surely he would have called him, but why would he do that? I think with perks, Knight and wood are a formidable pairing we are looking solid in the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Charley Powell fell whilst leading heat 2 and whilst leading Hopwood and fell whilst on a 5-1 Georgie wood he's definitly got the ability just needs it moulding! both reserves look like different riders very impressive turn around keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrac Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Both reserves had the speed, hopefully the control will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Dugards Twitter had a photo of Phillips bike so i guess again that he is going to have a look at his bike and make a few changes to get phillips up and on the rode. Both reserves had speed and looked much better then they did on Friday, but again friday was a challange match also a challange for the promotion to see whats wrong and whats right. Looks like a change in the wind from the storm Katie has gone in the right way of Eastbourne, so whats the news on the team if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 IF Hopwood has gone to accommodate Perks plus a new number 1 then that is extremely had on him. Whilst a new signing is clearly required to cover the very unfortunate Hughes the Eastbourne merry-go-round is becoming a concern? How many riders will question signing for Eastbourne in the future with the high rider turnover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Wow i have to say that its a bit hard on Ben if its true but again is seems that the unfortunate accident with Hughes has casued this problem only so many riders can fit in a 40 point limit. But again Eastbourne have gone ahead with nothing unturned wanting to win again, Hats off to them for a change and again a different Eastbourne to the years before and i have to say its only in the interest of the club and keeping speedway alive in sussex. Hard as it is but speedway seems to have come alive in sussex and that through another set of goggles, you may call it a merry go around while i say it was a high trill roller coaster with all the dips and turns of a ride your never going to forget.

If this new number 1 is good then I don't think we will see anymore changes this season except for injury. Although I would have given hopwood a couple more weeks as he didn't have his good engine in recently. On the other hand you know that when you sign for Eastbourne they will get the best out of you or dump you off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevec Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Where is this coming from. Not sure I will believe until I see it officially. No disrespect to anyone but I have learned to treat forums that way. Hard on Ben I must admit. He seemed to be doing okay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Confirmed on Eastbourne's website as Hopwood out and Perks in, with a number 1 expected to be announced by the end of the week. I make it 9.78 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it 9.78 left. I make it 9.88 left..... Who could it be...... Think Islander is correct. 9.78 available under the Team Limit of 40.00. (A few updates required for the 'Confirmed Signings' Thread with the early season changes at IoW and Eastbourne.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
