Hunters Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Looks like being a real battle between the heat leaders on Saturday. Covatti may struggle as I believe it is his first visit to the track but Harris and Schlein really go well here and with the Home trio looking good there should be some very interesting heats. Eagles should win by about 10 as their reserves were way ahead last year and Somerset's '2nd strings' are also new to the track. Good opportunity for Bowtell to get a few points and I have a feeling Brennan will get paid 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 I thought Lawson and Kennett looked untouchable v Brummies, Kerr and Brennan impressive as well. Yes Schlein and Harris are better than our Heat Leaders but may take a race or two to get the set up's worked out. I am in London for a family reunion Saturday, might even try to get there as a speedway fan any chance to see "Bomber Harris" is a treat. I can't make Somerset tonight due to work commitments. How Bomber rides Arlington will be worth the admission fee as there was plenty of passing on Saturday when Brummies were there and could be a great meeting for any neutral, place was buzzing last week, made Perry Barr seem very quiet.

mac101 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Lawson and Kennet will go untouched the tracks so hard to get dailed in and if your not in the right place you will get passed and Harris is not the best of gaters Eastbourne reserves will have the upper hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 As a neutral I love it. It's technical but because of that you get lots of passing inside and out. It's usually very well prepared. It's a thinkers track and not just wind it on and ride the fence. Good riders can ride anywhere and usually do well there. Bomber i think will find lines round there no one else can and Schlein will do very well. 1 hour ago, mac101 said: Lawson and Kennet will go untouched the tracks so hard to get dailed in and if your not in the right place you will get passed and Harris is not the best of gaters Eastbourne reserves will have the upper hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueherb777 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Looks a really attractive fixture. Just a tad too cold for me at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomersetBlue Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Heat leader trio battles will be something to behold however Rebels have the better second strings imho. Reserve battles will be good Wood and Brennan may be heat leaders but Rowe and Atkins are no slouches in the National league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Can see this being a very comfortable home win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Read somewhere that our Brummies Paco (Castagna) is riding in Italian Championships this weekend, would Covatti be in them as although Argentine born doesn't he ride on an Italian License and therefore mandated to fulfil Italian commitments??? - would weaken Rebels unless they get a top Guest.?

He is, it's on the Eastbourne website. Justin Sedgmen is guesting in his place. Weakens the Rebels imo.

Strange state of affairs. In all fairness it's Eastbourne trying to drum up interest for a big crowd as they have never faced us before they have put two articles up about the same thing Bomber Harris. But yes it's annoying to have to read on another website. Although I will say the meeting updates on social media have improved massively.

hammer1969 Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Any weather updates from the Eastbourne area would be appreciated as we were thinking of coming down from London later this afternoon but at the moment it is pouring with rain up here and its a long way to have to turn round and go home again if the meeting gets called off.

It's been sunshine & showers since midday. Forecast is dry from now. Can't believe there'll be any problems tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
