old bob at herne bay Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Interesting and upbeat news for speedway on the South Coast, and a very quick turn around after the clubs 2021 demise at the hands of Mr Jordan. Remarkable that Trevor Gear is able to claim “it had nothing to do with me guv” and quickly be given a promoters licence. Still don’t get who the money man is bringing the club back to the tapes. Trevor Gear is a well respected TM at Eastbourne, but don’t have him down as the promoter fronting and funding the business side of things. 2023 is a way off and let’s hope there is some speedway still struggling along in one two or three leagues.

Think Bob you will find Trevor Gear as had promoter's licence before. So why not now? You don't need to have money in a club to be a promoter.

Don't know why your worried old Bob. Eastbourne lives rent free in your mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simply being led by a group of like minded people sponsors/helpers/fans that cannot accept the end of speedway at Arlington and I am one of them. All of us have invested and lost, money into the previous club. Having spoken with Trevor, I am convinced he had knew little regarding the financial side of the club and he was as surprised as any of us when it all went wrong! We have a group of people that will be working with Trevor running the business side of things. As for the 'money man' there is no 'single knight in shining armour' that has come along but there are several people looking to invest. Getting the funds in place to be able to commit to 2022 would be extremely difficult but it can be done for 2023. As mentioned elsewhere, we will be looking to share more information when we have it and hopefully have some events where we can meet with people and let them get to know us. Hopefully you will come along to such an event? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I don't think you'll be the only club looking to replace their air fence?! A number of them bought around the same time are now coming to the end of their natural (10 year?) life. However if today's rumours are true then Kent should have one going on the cheap!

gazzac Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 If the Kent situation is confirmed as true, which seems likely, does make you wonder if some tie up with Len and the Dugards may have been put in the pipeline. Expect MD will know, although probably wouldn't comment one way or another I expect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
