eaglesno1 Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) The riders for the other team on Saturday announced as Bailey, Verge, Bowtell, Terry-Daley, Hopwood, Laurence, Bursill. Although not sure how Bowtell is riding as Lakeside also have meeting on Saturday??? Edited May 15, 2018 by eaglesno1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 The royal wedding, followed by the FA cup final, and lakeside v Edinburgh. Plenty of reasons not to run a challenge match at Eastbourne this Saturday. I will be heading to Arena with a few other Arlington regulars.

TurnTwo Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 If it keeps the riders sharp before the Mildenhall meeting surely it’s worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakeside's crowds have gone up, and there is a more positive feeling at arena this year. Arlington on the other hand seems to have outgrown NL racing, and the crowd levels reflect this. Same at Birmingham ! Championship is the 'only' place to be imo...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hume Bailey and Hopwood might make a meeting of it but Verge is average at Eastbourne. RTD is average full stop and the reserves is a huge mismatch. Looks like a confidence booster meeting only rather than pushing the main team to perform.

gee jay Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 i guess because of the kent posponement this seems to have been arranged at very short notice as i was at the last home meeting and nobody said anything about it . hope there's a decent crowd as some , including us , have made other plans.

All part of the re-branding, new colours, racesuits, name, etc. etc. almost everything was thrown out, (including those running the track shop and the tea, coffee and snacks outlets). Only the burger and chips concessions are the same as last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Have just seen the x ray of Charley Powells shoulder, looks a bad break so assume he'll be out for quite a while. Any thoughts on what we're likely to do? The dreaded r/r until he can return? Is George Hunter still wanting to ride speedway, or is he giving it a miss this year? Maybe a decent replacement, and seem to remember he was marrying into the Dugard family? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hunter is wanting to ride he has to be the better option because after the averages change if we use r/r, Edwards can only have one of those rides with the other three rides shared between Dugard and Brooks which could be very risky especially away from home.

Couldn't agree more, long term r/r never really works. Be okay until the first green sheet changes, but not beyond. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Well apparently Charley's going to have the shoulder plated and hopes to be riding by mid June. Underestimated the toughness of speedway riders again, although hope he doesn't rush back too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not i would have to trial and error each team as i don't know who they have faced then work out the date order of all the fixtures so much more of a pain . One click on most clubs website and there all listed there for you no problems Edited May 30, 2018 by ProudtobeaBrummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
