Alex2000 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Lovely evening for some speedway lol. Wonder if the track has dried up at all and more to the point if they actually packed it down to give it a chance of fending the rain off. Take 3 next week but with mildenhall bearing in mind that ain't looking great yet however it's a week away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise it was called off as saw photo of track this morning on the internet and obvious that rain yesterday/overnight/first thing this morning had brought about meeting being postponed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as I was looking forward to this match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Rye was under water in the morning but they worked like trojans on it and come the evening it produced some brilliant racing poses the question why could not Easty have done the same ....

lukasdrymllukas Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 No idea, but as I couldn't make the re-staging, thank god they didn't know how Trojans worked (how did Trojans work, by the way?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviresco Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 No idea, but as I couldn't make the re-staging, thank god they didn't know how Trojans worked (how did Trojans work, by the way?) Better to work like Trojans than working like dogs, probably? from what I know, my dog has never done a days work in his life, then it is a dog's life I suppose. On the subject of Trojans, maybe ask Troy Batchelor or Watford's Troy Deeney, as they must know how Trojans work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as I was looking forward to this match!Ellis Perks seemed to be going round ok yesterday, with dust coming off the wheels! Have Eastbourne got many spare dates or could this end up being a double header later in the year?

FootieandSpeedway Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Eastbourne have loads of reserved dates. This fixture just seems to be jinxed at the moment. Also Sussex had a fair bit of rain on Thursday evening which didnt help. Maybe if Eagles were still EL they may have done more to try and get it on due to lack of dates riders air fares etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Ellis Perks seemed to be going round ok yesterday, with dust coming off the wheels! Have Eastbourne got many spare dates or could this end up being a double header later in the year? Got at least half a dozen reserved dates on the fixture list so shouldn't be a problem, weather permitting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscambelt Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 From the updates on the morning on social media the clouds look as if they were pretty black and then looking at the video of perk going around i have to say i think it was more of wet mud coming off the back and not dust (lol Dust). Then i guest it was in the hands of the weather and it let go looking at the photos of Eastbourne track a speed boat would be better then a speeway bike.
