Don't blame you. Only get fed another load of fibs. I just hope this game carol Jordan is playing does not effect a new management team coming in and looking at trying to see if its viable to run in 2022. 

 

 

I said that on Facebook awhile ago, and was slated for it.

no refund per my bank a/c this morning. I will never get a season ticket again. Too much to expect the BSPA to be taking an active interest in this farce?

Carol Jordan has done a lot a harm. Its funny how Richard Weston has also gone to ground.

Richard is retiring, he was the media officer and had nothing to do with the finances

On a slightly different note, so pleased to see Tom Brennen doing so well for BV and Glasgow, especially having seen him as a tiny kid and through the NL to the Championship, and Jason Edwards seems to be getting back to some form as well. Just goes to underline even if we do return in some way, what we've thrown away, sure Tom would have been our homegrown No1 in a couple of seasons, although he may have outgrown the club anyway I suppose, but can't see any of our nurtured youngsters wanting to ride for Eastie again, even if by some miracle we do return.

Breaking News on Fan Power last night. Carol has put Eastbourne now into Liquidation and BSPL has taken all the Assets away.

Where did all the gate money go? Riders owed Quite a fair bit if rumours true. Other bills unpaid. 

Lets hope now someone can move in and take control and plan for next year. I for one will support the club.

Perhaps it's time Lee Kilby and Trevor Geer made some sort of statement on the situation as co-promoters.

Feel sorry for fans and riders owed money, but shows the damage done. Would have to be brave promoters to take it over to be honest.

A lot of people have lost money and you have to feel for riders, sponsors, fans and the impact on other clubs.

With regards to a new promotion, I don't think brave, just a well thought out business model with investment up front.

One of the main issues for me is the damage done to the fan base and some club sponsors, hopefully this damage will be repaired over time.

I'd support Eastbourne again but would have to be at Championship level at least as I have a very long journey each way to Arlington but I will never again buy a season ticket, too much damage has been done to fans trust etc by this fiasco.

Ian "carol" Jordan fooled everyone. His business model was to con.

One man has done this damage, not the club. Promoters come and go but the club is far bigger than just one man..

Totally agree but I think it will take a while to 're build the trust of fans and sponsors but I really hope someone can come in and do it. I loved my visits to Eastbourne and hope I will be able to again in the not too distant future.

Correct. That one man had us all fooled. Does anyone know if he is still involved at Plymouth. Last meeting i attended which was turned out to be the end of it all.

Jordan was walking around with a Gladiators cap on and when Kev Coombes interview him he said he was co director of Plymouth. He rocks up there on a Tuesday and sits in the stands. Said thats where his future laid. Me and my mate Jerry could not believe what he was saying. 

Its as if he planned all this
