This match might find us out imo. Adam and Lee will probably score well and their second strings look very decent too.
Their reserves look characteristically EL standard though - ie woefully poor so that's where we might have a huge advantage.
However any home win will be good. I can't see us retaining the trophy.
Hope I am totally wrong though.
Summed it up nicely there. This is a really tough test early on. There top 5 looks good so we must all perform to get through this. _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...
so adam , joonas and lee , all ex-eagles . good memories of all , none let the fans down , we remember that . all were shown the door , we remember that too .

Didnt Lee want to concentrate abroad and initially decided to give this league a miss. It is also alledged that he cost us more than Nicki Pedersen in his last season... I say alledged. Personally I think we will give agood account of ourselves over the Two legs against Lakeside _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!

I agree with you parker...
I think both legs will be pretty close with no more than an 8 point difference in either, and like last seasons semi final it could come down to a last heat decider.
hope so . parker is right to a degree about lee , but we still could have considered him ,even now , but lakeside have three great riders from us , though lee was only on loan .we shall have to see how they score against us , but at pity that quite a few excellent riders have been driven away , probably kennett too . others who are not our assets seem to be treated better , davey , for example .maybe they don't get bullied and are treated with calmer consideration .
Davey was dropped in favour of Scott/Lee last year and was without a team until Poole had second thoughts. _________________ click here for the latest front page news
it is something that happens in our sport . i understand and have to accept what is done , but not the way it is done . that is the point i am stating .
Totally agree. The promoters have no understanding of dealing with people. They are treated as assets ie non tangible and something you buy and sell [ or in some cases loan ] _________________ click here for the latest front page news
yes cous , but if you can be considerate and polite , hopefully others will act the same . you can part without recrimminations , and when you meet again you can still smile and shake hands but then we all know some who do not have this within themselves . those are the ones we are allowed to treat that way too

The nature of Speedway with the averages etc doesnt instill loyalty, either with promoters and riders, you just have to judge them on how well they performed for the team and give them the reception they earnt when riding against us. For example Eddie he always gave his best for us and should have agood reception when he comes back, he fell out with Bob not us Fans. We all now know the facts concerning Shields and had those facts been made known earlier Im sure some of us would have reacted to him differently. As for the 2009 team we have a team as good as most and it appears a good spirit as well, we just need to stay injury free. No doubt some riders will ride away tracks better than others but we just have to get behind the whole team. Forget about how riders were or were not treated thats history now. We had a good result last Sunday ifwe manage to come away with the trophy tomorrow what a confident start to the season. _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
good post parker . trouble with old 'uns like me is we reminince , at least i can still remember the wonderful years with our eagles .when what serves me as a brain weakens even more i won't be able to remember the regrets and stop with my meanderings . hope i can rely on you to help me find my way from the car park into the stadium !
see you all friday at the spanner bashing as they dont want to ride for the eagles get shot of them. all of our team are tryers at least they put some effort in and the spirit in the pits is far better tha its been for ages who needs nearly nichols etc
Totally agree. The promoters have no understanding of dealing with people. They are treated as assets ie non tangible and something you buy and sell [ or in some cases loan ]
Perhaps the answer would be to do away with Assets and have riders as free agents signed on one season contracts. Anyway getting back to the thread that Ray has steared us away from I think we will turn the spanners over by 6-8pts at home and continue our defence of the KOC 2009
