Eastbourne's weather forecaster spot on again " 4 days ago the meeting was called off (Tuesday evening at Kent) Unless you're party to information that wasn't made public from any source, (doubtful as, by your own admission, you've only been to two speedway meetings in living memory), the scheduled meeting at Arlington tonight wasn't cancelled until Thursday.

Overheard at Kent on Tuesday evening. Your new member of the management team at Eastbourne (Lee Kilby ? ) was chatting to someone I didn't recognise. Didn't really take a lot of notice until I read the official statement later in the week. Just for your info, I have only been to 2 meetings at Kent THIS SEASON . In my "living memory" would take me a lot longer to work out as I first went to a speedway meeting 62 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this will open up the 'but it's a development league', but it didn't do much harm to for the likes of Brennen, Kemp plus too many to mention. I've really enjoyed the NDL meetings l've seen this year (live and streamed) and think the relaxation of points which allowed Berwick and Armadale to host NDL teams has proved a huge benefit to the future at these clubs.

I don't know why a development league has to be a weak league? As you say lots of riders "developed" into Champ riders when the NL was stronger: Kyle Bickley, Leon Flint, Jack Thomas, Tom Brennan, Drew Kemp, Jason Edwards, Dan Gilkes, Dan Thompson, Joe Thompson, Max Clegg, Connor Mountain, Jack Smith, Alfie Bowtell, Danyon Hume, Anders Rowe, Jordan Jenkins, Jordan Palin, Ryan Kinsley & Luke Ruddick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 No one knew whether the Fixture on Saturday would take place any way because Brummies made no announcement until yesterday about riding one match at a time. Who knows what discussion went on between the clubs? Hope Brummies get a good turn out on Wednesday again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 It will be a three week gap before Redcar arrive at Arlington on the 21st. This meeting clashes with a 5.30pm kick off for Brighton in the Pemier league. Hopefully it won't have an impact on the attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Oh dear bad news here. Have the crowds at Eastbourne been that poor? They don’t have the same overheads as other clubs as they own the stadium and with it car park, food outlets etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they same same as Glasgow Speedway, does the speedway rent it from the Allied Vehicles Group? Edit typing while others answered about Easbourne.

scoobydoo Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 If they owe the rumoured 50k to the stadium owners there rent must be fairly high not had that many home meetings , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
