M.D Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 I know it really shouldn't be in this section but come on, give me some slack on this to get some publicity! Eastbourne Eagles are riding on Sunday at Iwade Sittingbourne against the Thurrock Hammers (Arena/Lakeside) The meeting starts at 12pm. Gates open at 10am, Raspberry lane, ME9 8SP Adults £13 Concessions (60+) £10 Children under 16 free with a paying adult. And what a line up managed by Eagles legend, Dave 'Floppy' Norris. Scott Nicholls Edward Kennett Nathan Ablitt Paul Starke Jody Scott Henning Loof. Should be good fun with that line up! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzac Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 Slack given by me, almost championship level, especially with the forecast points limit next year.... Probably know the answer, and imagine the situation is the same, but assume there is still absolutely no chance of a return to Arlington at any level?

25yearfan Posted October 8 Report Share Posted October 8 That is a cracking line up for non League Iwade speedway! Lets hope speedway can return to Eastbourne and bid to build on Arlington gets turns down and the stadium sold to persons interested in keeping the stadium as it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not while the Dugard's own Arlington no and this could be the last representative side put together by Michael and David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sad and the track still sits there and the stadium is still in use, but its not Bob now but Eric and Paul unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there no chance of speedway whilst the Dugard’s own Arlington exactly? I thought that the previous situation was to do with the level that was proposing to be run at, and they didn’t want to lease the stadium to a national league team?

No, NDL was never on the cards, they just don't want it back, simple.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.D Posted October 8 Author Report Share Posted October 8 Anyway, this is more about supporting two great clubs back in action than highlighting the off track struggles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with Martin Dugard, Floppy Norris and Ed Kennett still actively involved with helping young riders like Hagon, Foord and Brennan, they would have some persuasion influence?

Racin Jason 72 Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 So sad that Eastbourne speedway are not welcome at Arlington. Must be some deep divisions in the Dugard family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 (edited) This looks a great meeting to go to, hope they get a massive crowd, Graham Arnold has done such a lot for speedway over the years on shoestring resources.
