Eagles Vs Heathens 28/05 @7:30pm

[Alex2000]

Almost forgotten what speedway is its been so long. Yet another debut again for Gary cottham tonight maybe the waters will calm on the rider front now. Tonight is the hardest Adam will have to work all season with the strong pairing of Max and Ash but I can't see cradley reserves doing too much.... I'll go for a 9 point home win

[Heathen1984]

20 point home win, our reserves or Basford wont get alot. Whats the weather like there, on way soon.

it's supposed to come out sunny later.... However I'm hearing thunder at the moment and a couple of showers around... Nothing too substantial though

Updates of this meeting will be available on: http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/15615/eastbourne-cradley-nl-28-2016

 

I predict Cradley to take a tight win, with Eastbourne putting up a good challenge against us.

Did you genuinely believe that?I doubt Cradley will get any away points this year tbh

20 point home win.

Correct...now,do you have next tuesdays Euromillions numbers?

[Ommer Mon]

Well done Heathen 1984 - spot on!

 

Reserves just don't look up to it.

 

All credit to Luke Harris on paid 11.

[ruckerroo]

Match ok til ht 13 then cradley faded, easties reserves stayed upright and were better than cradleys.

 

Wood and perks going thru the motions to try get andrews back at 2

 

Saw brennan do his laps before racing, he was abs hammering round,very impressive

[Alex2000]

Shame if cottham has broken his collar bone as he has the speed just couldn't make the gate... At all! Heat 13 was something special from Jake Knight and the rest of them who's Bradley Wilson Dean I hear you cry!?

That was the Eagles' fourth league meeting so Powell's average goes to 4.57 & Knight 9.80. So unless they make a double change in the next 7 days, there's no way Andrews will be back.

[martin_t]

there's no way Andrews will be back.

Cradley should sign him then...they need to do something.

[Heathen1984]

Cradley wont win away all season with just three riders capable of beating the opposition,poor

[Hunters]

Can you Heathens hazard a guess as to why Cradley left Harris out this year?

 

He is improving each match and looks a lot better than those who replaced him. A little faith would have paid a good dividend I think.

[Halifaxtiger]

Not a brilliant meeting........but not a bad one either and heat 13 showed that you could race.

 

Heathens simply have to do something about their back end. In truth, the three riders they have never really looked like beating one of the opposition and they will get nowhere until they make changes.

 

Unlucky for Cottham. He was a little nervous at first but started to get into his stride when he was speared by Basford (to be fair Cottham had slowed) and highsided. Always a chance of a collar bone injury when that happens.

 

After some grumbling from the promotion, I thought that the attendance was fairly good - while there might be a debate about which day is best, its certainly much easier to keep a track in good condition in the evening rather than the afternoon.

 

One piece of good news : some might be aware that former promoter and stadium owner Bob Dugard has been unwell. He apparently got the all clear recently.

in actual fact Richards arm was still in a bandage so no one will yet! Edited May 29, 2016 by Al3x200

Good to hear Bob is Ok as we were commenting last night that he did not look at all well.

 

Surprised they are going for R/R on Monday and Wednesday for Gary, I thought Kelsey as guest was a near certainty. He fits.

[catinthehat]

What a might or should I say knight lol. Fantastic heats 13 and 15 a real buzz tonight back to as it was last year. A few good points on the board but even better to show the other teams that we are slowly getting to the top again. Bad luck for Cottham but it will give him time to repair his damaged bike.

You mean will give him time to repair Daniel spillers bike... Hope he doesn't come over now as he has nothing to ride!

[TurnTwo]

To heathens supporters first time I've seen cradley this year but why are your team so down? Eb boys coming in helping one another out eb promo pumping lads up, who's your team manager the one in the green jacket that actually sent the wrong rider out lol i didn't see him move once I'd get rid of him clearly hasn't built a good team either

He's injured, so they have no choice but to use R/R. A guest can only cover if a rider is doubling-up, a number 1 or reserve, or if there's more than one missing.
