old bob at herne bay Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Full marks to the TV team who produce the coverage of Eastbourne home meetings being shown on you tube. Good multi camera production. Who chooses which meetings are shown ? The one sided meeting vs Scunthorpe was not great viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer1969 Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 So pleased for these lads, sadly we've been denied the pleasure of watching them race so far this year. I see Neil Vatcher is looking for sponsors to help with tyres etc wouldn't it be great if they managed to get all their tyres sponsored - start looking down the back of your sofas people as we've not been able to go out and spend much in the last few months you must have some spare mouldies knocking about somewhere "every little helps" as a well known supermarket keeps telling us.

gazzac Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 2 hours ago, Richard Weston said: Superb news this morning about the Eagles youngsters, all called up for European action next month. Club assets Tom Brennan and Jason Edwards, along with Drew Kemp, on loan from Ipswich, are in the Euro u-19 qualifier on August 14. Tom is in the Euro U21 qualifier on August 1. This is brilliant for these youngsters and for the Eagles. Eastbourne have gone down the route the last couple of years of backing the Brits. Shows what can be done. Especially pleased for Tom, after last year's terrible injury. I'm told he has had lots of laps already this year in practice sessions, has worked on his body strength, and is looking really strong. Congratulation to Tom, Jason and Drew and to the Eagles management. Also shows why the NL was so good over the last 5 years and was so good to watch, with these 3 and many other youngsters pushing each other on week in week out.

I'd settle for some NL standard meetings this season, if the Championship can't run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to hope for a dry autumn. Fingers crossed. NL type standard or a challenge with Poole if they're up for it and stadium use at their end permitted?

Shame, after the time and expense of travelling to Poland etc and looking promising in his first serious outing since his broken leg. I just hope he's not going to be one of those promising riders who's career never really takes off because of injury. He seems totally fearless, but needs a decent run with no more injuries.

He was preparing for the European U 19 final in Zarnovica Slovakia on Sunday which he obviously now misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 What’s happening at the stadium?? The banger meeting has been cancelled and all further ones are TBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banger meeting has been cancelled and all further ones are TBC. Renovation and upgrade work, possibly (but do not hold your breath) including the long awaiting improvements of the toilets. I stopped by there at the start of the summer and it looked like there was some sort of work taking place as the main gates were unlocked and there were a lot of vehicles there. In terms of speedway the club have said that they wouldn't be able to run meetings at any level until September at least due to the works on the stadium, without elaborating further. It seems like Dugard and Co may be taking the enforced break as an opportunity to carry out some much needed work, but of course the speedway and the stadium are separate concerns these days so there is not a whole lot of information forthcoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Off speedway topic but Spedeworth Motorsport and the oval circuit car racing appear very active with their Arlington ventures at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
