On that basis he will fly around Arlo---Georgie needs to work on keeping his focus at the starts. He's left himself with too much to do a few times this year --cant afford that in this league

Totally agree, An area  that's being worked on along with machinery.

I know I will get accused of Knocking Scunthorpe again but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Eastbourne hit 70 in this meeting.

Even though you are a to$$$er towards  the Scorpions you might not be far off the mark. 64 ish may be.

Spoke to a Rob Godfrey last night at the Sheffield match and Broc Nicol was the only rider willing to take the guest booking at Eastbourne due to the Fours on Sunday ,so before slating Scunthorpe I thank Broc for stepping in and this is why speedway will not be a league sport within ten years in Britain

First visit in many years to Eastie. The prospect of a decent evening weather wise was more of an influence than the opposition being under-strength.

As others have said, Scorpions didn't INicol apart) really turn up until the last third of the meeting. All was well organised and the track well prepared with little to no dust evident during races. A couple of tape malfunctions plus riders anticipating the start extended things a bit but all finished well within two hours.

Very impressed with Broc Nicol, looked as if he had been riding the track for years.

Georgie Wood has just got back his engines  from the tuners, interesting to see how the Eagles go...

 

With respect that seems to be every week atm. 

Anyone care to estimate how the crowd was? Did a decent evening help negate a poor attraction of opposition? Glad to hear Broc Nicol offered plenty of opposition again although would expect him to have plenty of help as part of team Hagon.

1,000 or thereabouts at a guess.

Just to add: on paper, Scunthorpe were not the best attraction but the meeting was better than the scoreline might suggest. 

Phew. Im glad the club didn't suffer as a result of a poor line up "on Paper" along with the draw of the fours the following day. Still quite a gamble for the Eagles to run

1000 for a run of the mill home meeting v Scunthorpe - that's excellent crowd!
