cityrebel Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Patchy rain not due to arrive until after midnight. As for the meeting, it looks like another home banker to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fans are disappointed with his lack of Professionalism ,which was his downfall when he retired and still seems to have the same problems.He has a trade behind him though ,to fall back on.He was a talent in his younger days and a nice guy.

eide67 Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 It's a shame Josh Pickering is not back for this as he rode very well on his first visit there guesting for Leicester. But Paul Starke should be a decent replacement as he went well there in Glasgow's victory and rode very well against the Monarchs at Ashfield last Sunday. I think Eastbourne and Armadale are a similar size but maybe don't ride the same. Hope that those on their first visit take to it quickly and that William Lawson starts to turn round his season with a decent score. The Monarchs' fans (on here at least) seem to be very pessimistic and expect a hammering but I'm hopeful we might get close to picking up a point.

Not a fan of his lack of professionalism Gazc. If he had invested in decent equipment he could have done a really good job for Monarchs at reserve. Invariably last to arrive at Armadale and his demeanour suggests a total lack of interest. I didn’t want him back this season.The promotion saw him as a big asset at reserve but he has let the team down badly this year. His antics against you guys with the second bike thing was the final straw for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Easy win really but I'm not convinced by eastbourne even at home , a good side will expose the holes at 2,3 and 6 i think. i quite liked andersons style and he was entitled to have the hump with bowtells rash move in 14. Starke was awful , coles is an improved rider. The ref was wrong to award ht 12 in my eyes as the placings were nowhere near safe. kennett was immaculate, i was dissapointed in heeps for the monarchs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted July 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Eastbourne are a top heavy side and as such are strong at home ,..but not so much away ..It is the way each side compromises with the points limit,,,,,most fans are happy with teams winning at home......as very few travel away these days........

cityrebel Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Gave Andersson a hard bend in heat 14, followed by a few fisticuffs. It's been a long time since i last saw an on track punch up at speedway, felt like the good old days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Another wild and rash move from Bowtell...shock horror. The lad has been riding less than 5 years and pushed up into the Championship. Its not his fault its the promotions for allowing riders like this with little / no grounding to be on track and ultimately put others in danger. Who won the punch up btw?

I'd say it was an honourable draw, but once two started a few others joined in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofers Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 1 hour ago, liam said: What happened with Bowtell? From the Eagles website: Tensions boiled over slightly in the penultimate race as Bowtell sought to get on terms with Andersson on the first turn of lap two. Kerr on the outside while Bowtell side-swipes Andersson The pair collided and came down and were indeed fortunate to be missed by the chasing Kerr and Coles. A frank exchange of views ensued and Andersson and Bowtell traded blows, the melee being added to momentarily by other interested parties but thankfully the situation was soon diffused. The official did reprimand both riders and team managers but handshakes were exchanged soon after. Andersson now in serious trouble Andersson and Bowtell both down and Kerr in the firing line Kerr just finds enough space to avoid the mayhem The action resumed without Bowtell and Andersson did indeed claim an impressive win at the expense of Kerr (winning time 59.7).

cityrebel Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 My first ever meeting at Arlington against Rayleigh way back in 1972 ended up with a punch up. It was exciting stuff for a wide eyed nipper, but it was a lot more common in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Alfie doesn’t yet seem to have the control to turn the bike sharply and maintain speed which is required at Eastbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
