old bob at herne bay Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 The life of an airfence must also be related to the number of times it is "hit " by an opposition rider being shoved into the fence on bends 1 and 2 ? (and occasionally on bends 3 and 4 too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 1 hour ago, NeilWatson said: I would say that a minority of fences stay up all season. Any track that shares with stock cars, greyhounds or other arena events will have to be taken down (or maybe just dropped for greyhounds) regularly. I would say that only Belle Vue in the Premiership could leave the fence up all season. I guess Edinburgh, Leicester, Redcar and Plymouth of the Campionship may be able to leave the fence up long term. Berwick's polyfoam fence stays up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes us over half a day to put up the airfence 2. Because the safety certificate is for the airfence not each individual panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it won't be their company running it i presume. Why don't the investors come in now and pay of the debts instead of leaving other people out of pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sure.... How did that work at Newcastle, when an outgoing, failed promotion stitched Rob Grant up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's ok for Eastbourne to run up big debts, close down then re-open under a different company not owing anything. What about the poor sod's out of pocket, or is that just tough luck. If Eastbourne want to open again, all previous debts should be paid off first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer1969 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Paying off all debts before the company is wound up in 4-6 weeks is exactly what Ian Jordan said they are going to do and I'm sure they will be true to their words. Any new management coming in at Eastbourne I am sure won't end up like Newcastle promoters have. Love or hate my next comment but most people learn from their mistakes and I for one would go back to Eastbourne in 2022 if Ian Jordan was still in charge as I saw the efforts put in by that promotion during 2019 to bring in new supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 If anyone came in to promote Eastbourne next season, they wouldn’t have anything to do with this failed businesses debt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, this happens in professional sport all the time! It's always the little guy who loses out. In the BBCRS interview, Jordan does say "everything" from 2021 will be "cleared up".
