cityrebel Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 18 minutes ago, gazzac said: What a waste of time trying to bring on the likes of Brennen and the other British youngsters we had and to come like Abblit and Foorde, was over the last 5/6 seasons ( some made it some didn't) ,especially as Tom doesn't look to be an asset an any longer. Wish I'd given up on them now before we went NL back those 6 seasons.Sounds bitter, but the hope was supporting them through that time we'd build a team like we had in the past with Martin Dugard/Norris/Barker etc and feel any chance has been thrown away and gone for good. One way or another end of the Eastbourne Eagles, either permanently or in the ethos they've always had. It does feel a bit final with the sale of Brennan. Any potential revival could have been built around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Surely any revival ( if the stadium remains) will be either an NDL level club with the BSPL or a shale track racing club with the NORA. Either way unlikely Tim Brennan would feature - and let’s be realistic - would Tim be riding in the UK CL next season or in Poland/Sweden ?

Still to establish as a top heat leader in the CL so would imagine he will be ( for Glasgow). Who's Tim Brennen come to think of it?

gazzac Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 The first paragraph in the first answer in the Q and A answers the main reason for Easties current demise. " In November 2018 Martin and Connor Dugard decided to step down as the NDL looked to become a muched weakened league " A lot to answer for Eastie and quite a few other clubs at the moment.

Surely it's buried down much deeper in the interview... they didn't re-negotiate the 2020 rider contracts and they were already high payers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said that with the right pay scale, Championship level Speedway would have been easily sustainable at Eastbourne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is a poor team would have led to maybe lower crowds, but we'll never know now, so many mistakes and to be honest quite a lot of bad luck. 3 minutes ago, iainb said: BSPL don't come out of it too well though...
