ruckerroo Posted October 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Enjoyable matched partly ruined by a ref who insisted on waiting 5-10 seconds before putting the green lights on every heat. Â Closely fought, not much in it, luck prob equalled itself out, all to play for saturday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Hear from a good source that Powell WILL be rested as I suggested Saturday and Williamson guests for Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1075 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Wiliamson's average is too high to replace Knight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just seen that as well 9.35 Williamson 8.82 Knight. So my source has the wrong end of the stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave1075 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 They could use Tom Bacon he is on 8.54 So the Eagles could line up as 1. Bailey 2. R/R for Powell 3. Brennan 4. Wood 5. Bacon (G) 6. Edwards or Kemp (G) 7. Bates if your source is correct Connor has pulled off another trick within the rules. Fair play to him for trying to achieve the best for his team & their supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Tbf my sources are normally pretty good (or I would not post about it and look stupid) But did not take a source to work out the formula for Saturday. Gonna be a good night for speedway regardless of the result. Big crowds, huge noise and a bit of needle.... cant wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Â What size crowd do you anticipate for Saturday's second leg match then teaboy279? Well a big crowd for speedway at Arlington is a small one for banger racing and is hard to gauge. But I would of thought 4 figures is likely. Last year we took around 200 fans there and I expect a similar number on turn 1 this year.I would take a stab of a 1300-1500 crowd tonight at Kent. Is it not r/r as it's a ban for Knight?Don't think so as you used a guest for him when he was number 1. So it's rr for him unless you have another of your 2-5 missing.

Moleman27 Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Unfortunately the Eastbourne management dont change to Sundays at this time of year as from September they lose supporters to the Sussex Bonfire season. And with it being Eastbourne's own bonfire night I highly expect quite reduced numbers with some picking it over the speedway. Is what I will be doing personally as am involved as part of the procession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Never anticipated that result and I was happy be so wrong, they must have ridden out of their skin. We are in for a nail biting finish Saturday. The result may well swing on how they handle the Jake Knight situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 They also lose punters to Brighton & hove Albion. They should never run speedway on the same day the seagulls are at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrscambelt Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Sundays are no good for me as its football with the Kids. Also if you loose it takes longer get rid of the tastes till you go to bed. Â What a result for the Eagles last night, very unlucky not to come away with a win. Bowen was on form but again let the pressure get to him with a silly fall. He also lost kent from winning the NT last year at Stoke. Â Well dont to all the Eastbourne team an outstanding pass from woods over Bowen. cant wait for Saturday, I have just checked the local forcast for Eastbourne and it seems for the first time in 6 weeks they have a clear week. A grippy track will be 14 points to the eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I see Saturday 28th October is the stock car grande finalle fireworks night. So if Eastie do go through against Kent only leaves 2 Saturday nights/Sunday afternoons available. I can see the usual praying for dry weather, and last month panic to get 2 finals in, same as usual I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
