Speedway season starts this week....

It's a bit like marmite granted. You either love it or hate it.
But to anyone who has never been before, it is a great night out, and your local team needs your support.
Eastbourne Eagles start their season this saturday night against Swindon, which is a nice chance for us yocals to get back at them for the withdean result last week.
Tapes up at 7:30pm so plenty of time to get there after the Tranmere game!
Here is a little clip of Chris Harris winning the British grand prix to whet the appetite..........

Will be doing this sporting double on Saturday

Allowing for weather at Arlington of course, as rain and speedway don't really get on.

I run my own unofficial Eagles website OtherEagles.info, check it out and get the gen. on the local Speedway team!

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

I'll be there on Saturday, hopefully will be on as weather not looking to go last time I looked.

Is it true that Bob Dugard once tried to bring speedway to the greyhound stadium at Hove?

Would a Hove based team have pulled in bigger crowds?

This is true I believe, and I have no doubt it would have brought bigger crowds. Not sure why it didn't happen though.
