I was going by the "6 average" left over. Another smoke screen perhaps ? It is getting like a best seller.

Looks like the Russian may have no option but to honour his contract with us this time.
According to the Speedway Star today, Russian speedway is in turmoil following an attempted assassination attempt on one of their senior representative, which has left him with possible brain damage. So, with the possibility of very limited racing in the former USSR, we may well benefit from someone elses tragedy. |

will Denis ever ride at arlington, saw him at wolves, did he have a english test then , suppose new rules. | ||||
| ray |
yet if he was an immigrant he probably wouldn't have had to have the test , suppose if russia belonged to the EU it wouldnot have been relevant either , don't suppose jacqui smith could have got things wrong again . mustn't " labour " under a misapprehension

Blimey, we haven't redeclared a team in about three years. now we have done it three times in one year & we haven't started the season yet. | ||||
| ray |
so why have management only now discovered the requirements , written english test only --- please make sure --- apparently ? did they not make sure what conditions there would be ? if not-- why ? actually i am not sure i want to know that answer .

Surprised nobody has commented on Saturday's front page story where it is revealed that Denis could be taking over from somebody in only 3 or 4 weeks.
After Ricky's display on Saturday I think this is less likely now ? |

Hopefully this is just another of BDs' "announcements" , the team seems settled, posters have commented on a good team spirit, Dryml has settled and is getting in the points and Kling is picking up points, he had his best meeting so far the other night I think?
If it 'aint broke, don't fix it! |
||||
| sussexbulldog |
Completely agree 
|
||||
| ray |
as usual BD "russian " into it . no thought , no consideration , is this his wake-up call , when all the team are already alert , or is him trying to be subtle nah , he doesn't " do" subtle - every one knows that , so no harm done 
|

There is a saying "If it is ain't broke, don't fix it. We have a very happy winning team. Bringing in another rider, it does make sense, as the rider in question would have to learn the track. At least with the team we have at present, they all have ridden on the away tracks.

Not saying I want him now, but does anybody know where he's riding and the sort of scores he's getting? | ||||
| sussexbulldog |

Expect to see Denis turning out for the eagles in 2-3 weeks time. Pretty sure it will be kling going | ||||
| Eagle1971 |
ITV teletext says today that Denis will shortly be over here racing for Eastbourne | ||||
| sussex bulldog |
Hope it is initially short term replacement for Floppy so that we can see if he can ride Arlington and how reliable he proves. Subject to that a good move. | ||||
| Tweagle |
Pretty sure that's the plan. We can do this without redeclaring and it makes sense. 
|
||||
| ray |
kling is getting there . seems wrong to consider him going .why not get russian in as at least temporary replacement for floppy , and see how things go . no hurry . just imagine if some one else gets injured an we have let somebody go . that could take us back to present situation . sods law -- it could happen . up to management , but why take unecessary gamble at this time .?!
we could dispense with r/r and keep scramm at number 8 . whoever goes down to reserve when new averages come in , will be better than scramm . he is useful , but we do have better riders.   we need all round strenght , which we have when we have the full team . floppy may well be out for a couple of more months . we have time , use it . :idea:just expounding , and agreeing with previous posts here .

Looks like he's messing us about again -
Eagles give Gizatullin a deadline 1:00pm Wednesday 27th May 2009 By Brian Owen » Eastbourne have told Denis Gizatullin to race against Belle Vue next month or forget about becoming an Eagle this year. Arlington boss Bob Dugard is lining up the Russian champion to fill in for injured David Norris as Eagles attempt to keep their play-off push on course. Gizatullin has a prior commitment on June 6, when Eagles next race at home against star-studded Coventry Bees. The following home fixture is against Belle Vue on June 20 and Dugard has demanded Gizatullin confirm he can race in that one. If he cannot, Eagles have lined up another potential overseas signing they can bring in on a four-point average. Dugard said: “I’ve given Denis an ultimatum. We need to know in the next two or three days whether he can ride on the 20th.” Norris has been ruled out for at least six more weeks by an arm injury. When he is replaced by Gizatullin or the other new rider, Ricky Kling will move into the main body of the team. Kling’s greensheet average has increased from 4.90 to 5.08 over the first 12 league meetings of the season, despite a slow start. Simon Gustafsson is on course for an average of eight points or more but only after he has ridden in seven more league meetings. Davey Watt’s average has dropped from 8.15 to 7.00 but Lewis Bridger, who started on 5.11, is likely to be about 7.25 when he rides his 12th league meeting of the season at Peterborough tomorrow . Dugard added: “Ricky will have some hard rides but we will have Simon and Denis at reserve, which looks a strong pairing.” |

This is becoming a joke ... like the previous time he came over. How many 'two weeks time' does that add up to? The only way that Eastbourne will strengthen sufficiently to compete with the others will be to manipulate the 12 match rules as Poole and Coventry have managed to do. But I suppose Bob could not afford to entice any available riders anyway due to the lack of sponsorship and current attendances at Eastbourne. |

So 3 weeks ago it was in 3 weeks time, last week it was 2 weeks now its a another 3 weeks away David will be back at this rate before we see him!
As other teams are doing we should be looking to build up not drop another 2 points from our team averages! With Davey's average going down and Lewis' not going up yet and Simon's still low now is the perfect time to build to the 42 limit not replace a 6 pointer with a 4 pointer! If we're not carefull this season could quickly fall apart as last season did. |
||||
| Tweagle |
Yes I agree. Why, if he can't be here for 6/6/09 against the Illegal Bees, can't he get here for the 15/6/09 away against the Wolves. Can he only make his 2009 debut at a home meeting. 
This guy might be half decent but so far he only irritates me. |

| Kevin54 |
My oh my, it's 2007 all over again.
What was the saying my old mate Parker came up with then?, oh yes, "They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek that damn Russian everywhere" Why did not BD learn from the last time, he b******d the club about then, he's doing it again. |
||||
| ray |
thought BD was trying to save time and money , wasted both on this bloke ----- again . yes , like others i am starting to feel concern about this season falling apart as the last two did . ok , won the cup last year ---- well with that team we should have done something .now with two of the teams re-writing the rule book as they go , and bspa sitting with their thumbs up their bums, it's not just our season we need to be concerned about , it is the elite speedway season alround .
