Clubs twitter could be early. SS in shops Thursday so will be available 4.30am ish plus local papers(which ours is out Thursday) might have them in. Telegraph only shows last weeks news, which we've all read online anyway, so don't expect too much there. Our one and only local sports reporter, probably has to have his copy in for tomorrows paper now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woofers Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 6 Sunday afternoon fixtures, hope they’re 5pm or later starts. No doubt get the picture on the Eastbourne website later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual masses of info, reasons and logistics from Ian Jordan. I am one of the small number of fans that detest the hot, dusty, drawn out Sunday afternoon meetings, (and told him), hence my relief that there will be some 5 -5.30 starts.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Happy with a few Sunday meetings but hope there's no rider availability conflict with Polish fixtures.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 The club has gone from one of the worst for information to probably the best in the couple of yrs ian jordans been there, a family run club in every way, always clear concise reasoning too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSpeed Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 When the draw for the KO Cup was made back in November, Eastbourne were listed as facing Newcastle in the quarter final, both having received a bye in the first round. Poole were drawn against Edinburgh in the first round. Now that the fixtures have been released we're apparently facing Poole in the KO Cup in June, whilst Edinburgh are taking on Newcastle in May. Other ties from the original draw don't appear to have been changed. It makes one wonder what the point of having a draw is if it's going to be disregarded less than two months later and a different set of fixtures drawn up.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had doubts about how these 'draws' were conducted in the past. Common sense maybe Richard, but who's to say the final may have been Poole vs Eastbourne? Devalues the competition in my eyes, always thought it was the next best to win after the league, not so sure now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poole keith Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 so why bother with a draw in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Why has common sense prevailed? Changing the draw with the teams mentioned making it regionalised? Yet, you still have Somerset v Glasgow! They should have left it alone as the poster above states, "why have a draw in the first place"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 It might be good if something appears on the Eastbourne website from Ian Jordan giving the reasons or logistics into this change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Tbh it's rediculous to change the cup draw to suit a few clubs, as said above why have a draw if it will get changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you do still have Somerset v Glasgow, check the fixtures. Eastbourne v Poole is the 2nd round. It exactly the same as the original draw except Newcastle and Poole swapping places.

I should have checked the official listing rather than rely on someone else's version on here!!! Apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.D Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Sounds like Gordon Kennett may have a spin at Arlington on a Weslake upright engine with the old GK red and black colours, bike sorted by Gordon and Steve Weatherly. Great to see the master have a few laps again if it can be sorted..  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
