EASTBOURNE V EDINBURGH June 12th


Recommended Posts

The way it looks on the Eagles website does appear that the riding order is the same, ie rider replacement at 4. I think the management will have faith in Newman and Edwards ( probably Kemp as a reserve switch ) getting at worst a 3-3. To be honest think the match will be won by then with our strength in depth, even with no Lewi Kerr.

Brennan and Kemp now available for this meeting with travel restrictions preventing them from getting to the World U21 qualifier.

Mmmm....... putting club before individual ambition ?  

Gustrow is in Northern Germany just east of Hamburg. How many other riders have not manged to travel there I wonder ?? Is the meeting still going ahead. ?

Sure I read that Germany’s Covid restrictions mean anyone travelling from UK has to self isolate for 10 days on arrival, not sure where I read it though

Taken from Gov website:-

"From 23 May the UK is designated as a virus variant area of concern, which means that you may only enter Germany from the UK if you are a German citizen, a resident or their spouse/partner/child under 18, or if you can invoke an urgent humanitarian reason such as an immediate family bereavement. No other travellers may enter Germany from the UK"

My god, you really hate Eastbourne don't you?

Never resist a dig, whilst never quite getting it right.

Sensitive souls the lot of you ….. if you took a look at the line up for Gustrow it beggars belief that the League of Nations of riders in the meeting , including one from Argentina will be able to travel to Germany.Do you not agree.? 

Incidentally I would applaud any young rider who puts club before personal ambition .Would be a refreshing change , although in this instance apparently not the case.  There are far too many of these under “something or  other” meetings in ridiculously difficult locations. Could have been worse I suppose if they were drawn in the Daugavpils round.
Enjoy your meeting against the Monarchs, wherever your R/R rides sure you will register a good home win.

Wish I was that confident but I rate their 3 heat leaders  the best in the CL at Arlington although it is Sam Masters first visit he is probably the best rider in the CL at present.

Everything may depend on which Eddie Kennett turns up. Barring accidents it should be knife edge stuff so I will go for a draw 45-45 with a particularly good 'racing' meeting.

I think Eddies only problem is the long lay off, he's stiff & his reactions are not yet at their prime, but I'm sure it's all going to come back soon. I expected the Eagles to be dominate at reserve this season. The injury to Kerr is a blow but it can be covered by R/R at home but I think a guest away would be the best option.

Masters has a wealth of experience & rides the tight Monmore track each week so I don't think there's much to scare him at Arlington.

It will be tight but I'll take a 4 point home win

If its down to the app then Drew has been somewhere that has recorded a positive case no mention of having to isolate due to foreign travel

Thanks for that Sings - Just in the wrong place at the wrong time - We’ll just have to fight harder this evening - C’mon the Eagles! :mad:

I think the Eagles will be ok yes Masters might run riot, Worrall is going decent enough at the moment and pickering is always a threat but I fear the challenge ends there. Thomsen needs a couple of rides to get dialled in each time, Greaves has been average and Lawlor just back from mystery injury. Even with Kemp out and Ablitt probably stepping in i reckon the Eagles have enough.

Old Bob was the same on the Lakeside forum, came across with a strange dislike of the club, its riders and management.

He comes across as bitter to the sport in general but I'm sure the old boy has a heart of gold if anybody ever meets him at a tract in the south east..

Eastbourne win BTW

It was mentioned earlier that Alfie Bowtell guests instead of Drew - Expecting a really good show from Richard Lawson and just hope Eddie is in his grass track form - Got to be really positive from Heat one - :t:
