80 Years Of Speedwayhave been thinking that this is really quite a significant number with regards to the history of our clubs existance. I also believe it is worthy of having a special one off meeting incorporating many riders who have worn the Eagles race jacket over the years to celebrate the event as well.
Does anyone know if the promotion has considered a commemorative meeting to celebrate this momentious achievement next season? I know we have Deano's farewell lined up, and I also realise that next season will also be significantly restrictive on the Dugard families purse strings due to the current finacial climate. However, there arent very many teams about that can proudly boast such a history of existance, particularly in this sport.
Do others think that it is possible that a special one off meeting would be supported by the fans not only at Eastbourne but elsewhere? do any of you share my thoughts on this?
Lets be honest if it were Poole or Cov they would'nt let it past without some sort of recognition. It would be nigh on a travesty if next season where to pass and it went by without any recognition at all.

I'm sure there was something in the Argus a while back about this with Bob saying that EB were going to bid for a major meeting which he hoped to tie in with the celebrations. British final maybe??

See that Eastbourne have been awarded the Elite League Best Pairs Meeting in August. Quite a feather in BD's cap. Also those of us who will have season tickets will be able to use them for this meeting.  We should thank Bob for his generosity in letting us use them for this FIM meeting. Too many times we have criticized Bob, and for once we should thank him.
