TurnTwo Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 i think eastborne have a very average team will do well at home but big losses away i hope i am wrong I disagree I think they could well be title contenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 i think eastborne have a very average team will do well at home but big losses away i hope i am wrong I think when you see every team when it's completed ours will be far from average with certainly the strongest 'lower end'.Really do think we can win it, but if we don't will come very close again.

stevec Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 The marginal cost is quite small though. If they printed more programmes I might go more often. Unless they change their policy I will only go if I can be sure of getting there in good time. I always get there early. I will buy you a programme and you can come and collect it from me.

It's a shame that being able to get a programme or not would put you off attending at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Lakeside v Eastbourne home and away can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex2000 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Lakeside v Eastbourne home and away can't wait! Kent would have been easier to get to than lakeside. M25 dartford on goodfriday evening not good. Probably only go to first leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex2000 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Says lakeside is in the morning really fair enough only the second leg then, then I will be able to decide if I'm going fishing that evening or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Mole Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Lakeside is always the meeting in the morning with Eastbourne in the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 Good Friday is late this year April 14th so I hope this is not the first meeting, I was looking forward to getting started about March 24th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Mole Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I was thinking exactly the same thing, and considering most teams either didn't finish or just finished their meetings last season, you would have thought it would have been started earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I think it'll be a good close match with Eastbourne taking the silverware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 As things have gone a little quiet on here i thought i would start a little friendly debate (stir up) The Eastbourne side this year has been built around a strength in depth basis and if all riders are firing i think it will inflict some heavy defeats on some teams however........it also includes Baseby, Dugard, Coles & Powell who can all go missing from meetings / suffer huge drops in form out of nowhere so are any fans concerned that this could be the worst season since dropping into the NL?

Alex2000 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 The only rider I'd be concerned about is Baseby he's been around the longest and is still only at this level. From the way Connor came across in the press release about Kelsey he will be on his case and if form drops I'm sure he will 'rest' him. To be honest if we'd had Perks or Hughes at 1 this would be my perfect team for this season. Just a shame we won't be trying out your theory against you eh Sings4Kings.

I imagine quiet because we're all fairly content at the moment seeing the other teams. We have a few faults as fans (not many I grant you! ) but I think generally we all like to give the riders chosen by the Dugards a go without bitching before the season starts. As has been said, the Dugards aren't shy of making changes if it doesn't work, but hopefully it will .Ko cup is always a good possibility with our massive home track advantage and top four in the league then who knows. Crikey I've talked myself into our best season yet not forgetting the NL trophy!!! Edited January 10, 2017 by gazzac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about Coles but I have no fears about Kelsey, think he will have a really good year now he is back home and Charley Powell was getting to grips with things as the year went on despite a broken collar bone. He was not my original choice as I wanted Kyle Hughes and a 3 pointer but I am sure Charley will continue to successfully make the conversion from grass this year . My big concern is Mark Baseby who looked useful when here with IOW but certainly not the No 1 we are used to. It could well be our worst NL season because there is such a high standard to live up to but it should still be a good season and don't write off the impact that Tom Brennen will have. You also have to factor in that anyone not earning his keep can be dropped. I think the Spillers will be available in July after Exams. Factor in our home record and we won't need many away points to get in the top 4 and there are some pretty weak teams beginning to developed.

Nathan Mole Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Don't forgot Georgie, who has improved every season and was putting in No1 performances at the end of the season. Which is why the club said the team was being built around him as I expect Georgie to be at No1 this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have no worry with this team I think they will all improve on their avaerages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee jay Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 not so sure Mark can improve his average but as long as it doesn't drop against some of the no.1's he'll be racing against he won't be doing badly . i can see the other 6 all improving . worried ? i'm always worried that we could have a start like last season .
