Hackett Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hoping the Eagles make it through the Play-offs ... Working in London + finishing work at 17.30 ; not a hope in hell of making it home to Surrey and then drive to the meeting. So no Play-Off SF for me the kids + missus will have to go alone.

mrscambelt Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 jump on the train to polegate from victoria. Takes about 75 mins. Theres an offer on the train and go home with the wife all winners or even get the wife to pick you up from Polegate station, even better ask if anyone else can pick you up from the station.

guitar_art Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Here's a revolutionary thought. If you want to get your fixtures in don't take a whole month (August) off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscambelt Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Here's a revolutionary thought. If you want to get your fixtures in don't take a whole month (August) off. Too right but i just looked at the fixture list and nothing in August apart from stock car racing on 2 saturday nights and 2 GPs on the other ones and i assume they can use the stadium on sunday and did the sunday away fixtures. But a crazy world. Stockcars rule and own Arlington as they bring in more money then speedway i have been there for a stockcar meeting and you cant move for people. Hey ho in the playoffs does anyone have the dates for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscambelt Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Interesting meeting this Saturday. Again another ex eagle will return with Richard Andrews last week Ben Hopwood. Will be interesting to see how his form is as he has been struggling for the hammers in the last month. I like Richard he always had time for me and the kids. Another good meeting on the cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunters Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hope the weather stays good, I'm coming 1,000kms to see this ! Can you resist the temptation to stay for two weeks? Four nail biting matches against the Brum going to the wire, has to be mouth watering. On current form the Eagles might just be able to nick it against the odds.

On current form the Eagles might just be able to nick it against the odds. i'm all for positive thinking but i don't think cradley are beaten yet, and we have to get all six riders fit and well through the meaningless meeting at kings lynn tonight aswell so i for one am just crossing my fingers , for now.

stevec Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I cant see Cradley being a problem. Birmingham will be really tough through and we will need our top four on fire to make up for their reserves. I would like to see someone in at number 2 rather than going with R/R and name Tom at number 8 (assuming Luke is riding). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see someone in at number 2 rather than going with R/R and name Tom at number 8 (assuming Luke is riding). The problem with the current rules is a number 8 can only take the RR rides. So as you said it would require both Luke & Charley at reserve with Tom @ 8 to avoid a dragged out meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to rain Saturday! alex the forecast on the bbc website is better for saturday , yesterday it said rain after 10.00 pm but now says no rain.

gazzac Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I suppose it could be a reserve date if the Cradley match is rained off this Saturday although that looks unlikely at the moment, more likely the 'end of season do' is on Friday and didn't want to race the next day.
