I believe he largely gobs off, slates the lower leagues and ultimately drags down the name of the club and the hard work put in by others.

Something like that. When he joined the Eagles for the 2019 season it was the intention that he become co-director with Ian Jordan but the position was terminated by Companies House in May 2019.

Isn't Jordan going to be working more with Plymouth as its closer to where he lives?

He has said that working with Plymouth is just additional, he is helping them out with the commercial side of things and will still fulfil the same role as he did last year with the Eagles.

Although he is a director of Arlington Stadium Ltd, along with Martin Dugard. The company was incorporated in January 2019.

Hope it’s not ‘more’ as he has been a breath of fresh air at Eastbourne. The latest article on the website giving the thoughts of the team building strategy for 2020 are an example.

It’s funny how riders like Jedd list can’t string points together here but can score them back home 

I watched Jedd List do laps at Brough Park last year, he definitely had talent. I for one would have easily took the chance on him to ride for the diamonds. Then someone told me he had only been on 500cc for less than a year when he first rode last year. Blew my mind. 
 

With another years development the kid will make a laughing stock of a 4.00 average

See the Eagles are going back to race suits. Not surprised---the race jackets are OK but the suits look far more professional

I also see on their website that they have cut the cost needed to sponsor a suit as a Black Friday offer--which lasts until til this coming Friday.

 

Possibly helps that Connor Dugard owns a suit making business

've not been but the mini-track looks smart from pictures/video I have seen. This enterprise, of course,  will be a stadium initiative, not the speedway club. However, maximising the use of Arlington Stadium makes sense all round.

A busy stadium should mean there is always room for speedway.

Makes the destruction of the original mini track seem all the more daft now its been re-instated.

Agree, as a kid I watched many a rider grow up on that track and watched Kelly Moran, Erik Gundersen, Shawn Moran ride it to name a few for fun.

The likes of Paul and Martin Dugard, David Norris, Mark Loram, The Standings, David Howe all grew up riding that track, a conveyer belt for a few riders..

I think you'll find that was Ben Howe.  David isn't just that old!

I'm sure I remember seeing David riding on the training track , but being in my 60's could be a memory thing!:neutral:

Yes I think that, and in anycase he was more Peterborough based and the star performer of the 1997/8 era in the CL and PL Thundercats and Panthers
