11th May, First Sky Meeting of the Season
The Eagles are going from strength to strength this season and although financially we’re going through a rough patch you as fans have all been extremely supportive. With that in mind we’ve decided to say a massive thank you in the form of extra special Lucky Programme Prizes at the Sky meeting on May 11th. We’ve got 10 vouchers hidden inside the programmes all for a fantastic £100 cash prize!
All of a sudden the 2009 season is going from strenth to strenth and the garden is looking more rosey by the month,maybe by August we will be in fall blossam!!!
A massive thank you? Hardly as only 10 people will benefit! Will the chance to win 100 quid attract people to an off night sky fixture, I dont think so but I guess its better than nothing
Interestly nobody has mentioned the discount vouchers that were sent out to some Hailsham residents last week with a flyer expaining what speedway is all about. Maybe finally some promoting is actually being done! _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...

I didn't get one
I wonder how many were sent out then? As nobody else has mentioned it yet I suspect it was limited to maybe see how it works and then issue some more _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...
" limited " being the word .give none , costs nuthin ' , brings in ----- you've guessed it ----- nuthin'
Well its got me a 3 quid discount for the next few meetings
I think it is about time people stopped grumbling. Whatever BD does it seems there is always somebody their to criticize, just be thankful we have got speedway at Arlington. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
My rant! It is getting time now for all moaners to QUIT..you are not doing speedway any favours. Fair enough everyone is entitled to free speech and to be honest it is great reading all opinions and the odd argument is also great.
Certainly mistakes are made by management but who would want their job
With regard to the advertising & promotion has anyone any idea how much it cost print lealfets, posters and advertise..most probably not. Any kind of advertising is good even if it only reaches a few at least it is something to build on cheaply.
I truly hope Eagles go on forever and will support them through & through
Travelator, At last somebody else like me who is sick and tired of the constant moaning. Perhaps those who constantly moan should stop and support the Eagles by attending meetings. It is very hard sometimes to curb oneself, and not be rude to the moaners. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
they should also be grateful , without us they would have nothing to manage [ they are doing a good job of this ] and nothing to promote [ very poor at this .] this is why we post the way we do , their lack of the latter could mean there would be no speedway for anyone . on that basis we will contiue to be concerned , and express this . not as if they read this or would take any notice anyway . that is why the posts continue this way .

I thoroughly agree here. I have got it in the neck a few times for saying this same thing. It's all very well saying they should be grateful and it is just concern but to keep on and on is very tiring and is obviously not having the desired effect anyway. All the moaning is doing now is winding the rest of us up! Positive criticism I can take constant whinging I can't sorry.

I think you and Aussie2 are have a point. we have, in my opinion as good a"team"(given the level of speedway we now have) as we have had for several seasons. It seems that the Supporters club is starting to show its self with some inventive ideas with the Buddies promotion and are pushing draw ticket sales more vigourously.We are starting to promote the Sky meeting with some lucky programme winners. You know Ray from little Acorns Oak trees grow. We should be grateful with out them we would have no speedway and it appears that although they dont read our posts at least the are coming round to the conclusions we made several seasons ago. Lets get behind the team now, leave the moans until the close season and savour being Top of the League even if its only for a few days _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
we are behind the team , that is clearly and frequently posted .we do appreciate the team management including the new number 8 . no criticism , we are not being disloyal . our concern is the lack of promotion and sponsorship , and the future of the eagles . this can hardly be called " whingeing " . now there does appear to be some effort at last to address the lack of promotion . it is a beginning . i now take my wife to meetings , that is not being unsupportive at all . if we all took one extra person this is being supportive . the real " whingers " are surely those who criticise others , who inspite of their concerns and the financial income, are actually doing something constructive .we are not wringing our hands , we are clapping them . let us hear or see something constructive and supportive from you .
I decided at the beginning of the season that the best way to support the club was to try and encourage friends and colleagues to give the sport a go and this I have done. So far I have managed to persuade 4 people to attend and see what speedway is all about and hopefully as the better weather comes along they too will bring in more support. They have all said that they found it entertaining and what a good team we have. Like a lot of us they can't afford every meeting but are keen to attend meetings when they have the cash to do so. It may not be much but as they say every little helps.
I managed to get an old fan to return on Saturday and he and his mate enjoyed it and will come again. As you say every little helps. _________________ click here for the latest front page news
attendance 1,300 - see what happens if we all pull together . new or returning fans will surely want to continue seeing matches that we have had at arlington this season .it is about getting them there initially .as posted my better half now attends with me regularly too .
