Hackett Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Excellent meeting last night with good racing. Nicholls rolled back the years but should of come as no surprise as he passed Lawson in exactly the same place earlier in season - then did it to Kennett a couple of heats later. Great races by fomer British Champion. Eagles just can't cover the loss of Wood at Arlington and you need a dominant reserve . Ht2 was a decent race as was the Newman vs Perks battle. Newman has been superb the last couple of weeks and be good to see him back next season with Kerr + Lawson but that will all depend on averages and one or two leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"the Eastbourne team have faded badly on their little home track" doesn't even make sense when 3 of them weren't even riding last night. It was a bitter post and rightfully criticised , from someone with a helluva chip on his shoulder by the sounds of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i hope he eats appears from a horses back end Racing may have improved but how have the crowd numbers been? Have the Eagles turned a profit this year? I suspect Kent will have again but i doubt its enough to step up and do the same? Its wonderful having great racing for a couple of seasons but if the sport isnt sustainable it will be for a couple of seasons only and then everything will fold up. The racing has improved -- As has crowd numbers. Commercial Director has driven the community side and far more youngsters being taken to Arlington. Like the Daily Express , Speedways fanbase as a demographic is dying - so need to bring in younger fans Eagles are trying to do so. Most meetings have over 1000+ which is a start and seems as though with sponsors doing enough to return in 2020 . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie fans seem to think some management changes coming and Connor Dugard coming back which most seemed happy about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
