I reckon this means that a return to blue and yellow is highly likely. Fingers crossed the new sponsor isn't Caburys otherwise you will be backing 7 big purple ones next season..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the website has been stripped of all colour i am expecting an end to the fluro green this season? Shame everything wasn't in place for Christmas as new merchandise is an easy sell, that said the persistent re branding is lining someones pockets nicely.

Sings4Speedway Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Glad to see Eastbourne have returned to their proper colours & landed a good sponsorship package along the way. Perhaps as part of the back to the future program the training track will finally be re-established also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Richard Lawson has signed for Ipswich. I assume Prem clubs get priority over Championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJC Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 So a new major sponsor comes on board and the press release has the disclaimer, 2 months before the seasons due to start that the team running in the second tier is still subject to approval! Must have big names flocking to have their brands represented with such an organised governing body!! Should be shocked but it is the BSPA we’re dealing with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris116 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Not only do any news items on the BSPA website have the disclaimer but it is not possible to get to the club website as Eastbourne and Birmingham don't exist according to the list of teams in the league. If I was of a suspicious nature I would be thinking that someone wanted to sabotage their entries and if I was in charge at either club I would tell the BSPA that either the links are restored or I would be moving back to the National League which might ruffle a few feathers that need ruffling big time. The fact that both teams who moved from Championship to Premiership appeared immediately makes you wonder how they got accepted so quickly! Does the BSPA want to make Speedway grow or are they determined to ruin the sport? Edited January 11, 2019 by Chris116 Spelling! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, as R & R suggests and I would agree, the matter that needs to be resolved for both new clubs is the increase in the Bond that each club has to lodge with the BSPA, if they haven't then I don't see how the BSPA can take any blame at all. You join something, you know the rules, you conform to the rules and you get accepted into the league. Not that hard to do is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we are on 11th January 2019 and the new limited company announced by the BSPA on the 14th November 2018, The British Speedway Promoters Association Limited, to take effect from 1st December 2018, doesn't show as registered at Companies House. I trust that has nothing to do with the delay, e.g. we'd like to take the cheque / bond/ guarantee but we don't have a legal entity to accept it yet. All admin in speedway is a bit suspicious, we're still waiting for the results of the 'full investigation' by the SCB of the cancellation of Eastbourne v Mildenhall fixture on 26 October last year. p.s. I had to search for the R&R reference......it's in the Birmingham thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesno1 Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) With regards to the disclaimer, this was Ian Jordan's (Eastbourne's new co-promoter) reply to somebody questioning it on Facebook: "The BSPA have strict entry forms and procedures which have to be completed to their timescales and they include interviews and also Fixture planning and Bond payments. This is an ongoing process that ourselves and Birmingham are going through at the moment and once all is completed ratification will be confirmed. We have to work to the prescribed agenda though and thats what both the new Clubs are currently in the process of doing."

woofers Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks No1, that's good to hear. I'm not signed up to Facebook or Twitter (and have no intention of doing so), it's a shame that those two external sites seem to be the main source of communication rather than the clubs own website. Hopefully that will change when the site gets a much needed overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that will change when the site gets a much needed overhaul. I think the website is a good source of information and is getting updated fairly regularly. Ian Jordan is doing a fantastic job on social media keeping the fans informed and making it feel like we have a direct line to the management at Eastbourne. Social media and the website are separate items though, he can interact on social media in a way you can't on a website.
