As we all have a lot to say how about using this subject as a suggestion box for 'Saving Our Eagles' with sensible idea's.
I will start off but not sure if this would be financially viable or popular but here goes
On a GP night start a meeting at 3.00pm (initially with an early in the season GP in if popular could do same again later in season)) then hog roast followed by showing GP in Bar and maybe use Marquee again if lots tickets sold Bar revenue would be up and a raffle would also bring extra money. I know this would entail a lot of work and I for one would be happy to help. Would need advertising around Eastbourne
Yes I have only thought of this because of the Presentation Hog Roast which was very good apart from weather
Has anyone else any suggestions to promote Eagles

Excellent posting although as a veggie not too keen on roasting yet another piggy
Anything that increases the number of people coming through the gates is good.
Still think having bikes and riders in the Arndale would be a good idea. If that is not on how about contacting Tesco or Sainsbury's or both to appear in their car park(s) ?

Loads Of Marketing Ideas
A marketing theory says that out of every 10 ideas, 1 is usually good .
So here's a few wacky ideas that might contain something worth doing in no particular order -
Free Sponsored Cards with 5-1 on, like the cricket 4's and 6's. The sponsor's name gets seen on Sky. Cards can also be usable as a programme board.
Auto text ' meeting off' service to subscribers - far better than the text reply thing available now.
Photographs on a speedway bike. Position a bike in front of a action scene background. Pay £'X' and get your photo taken on a bike at Arlington .
Fill your car and get free parking - everyone who has 4 or more people in their car parks for free. Encourage people to bring their friends.
The more people who attend the lower the price. Tell spectators that if they can get another 200 people at the next meeting the price for the following meeting will be £'X' less than normal.( or a free programme etc etc )
Free entrance to a meeting to everyone who gets a letter to their local paper printed pre- season saying how great speedway is at Eastbourne.
Kids Parties. Happy Birthday name check over the tannoy.Kids get to walk out like a football mascot with the riders for the parade. Group photo with a rider. Free burger and chips. £'X' per head.
etc etc - I am sure a creative Marketing Manager could come up with lots more ideas.

Would have been a good idea to have had the Knock-Out Cup on show locally, Hailsham, Eastbourne & Hastings. I did contact Tesco's head office, their customer service, and they only back charities. I am afraid we do not qualify. Mind you I would have thought Tesco would have wanted to do something after they hell they have put us through in Hailsham building their new store.

The trick is to get revenue up front,ie sell season tickets ,koc t shirts and other stuff,maybe sell five early meetings for the price of 4,loyalty card on the same lines and of course advertisement,maybe sell spaces to fans for as little as a fiver for the season to put their name of a certain size on the eastbourne fence or riders board in the pits.All this can be done from th arndale centre with the koc on show and i will email the club to see what they think and also offer my services for what its worth.i will stress i have no selling expertice but are willing to give it a go.
