agree totally kopster , watt only riding in an away leg [ he can leg it away as soon as he likes ] ideal opportunity to bring in a star guest , if it had been nicky the attendance would be wortwhile and even help defray the promotions losses not many of us would have missed that but no , no idea of promoting again . certanly it may have attracted a possible new elite promoter , if there was one , as well as fans , maybe sponsors etc , but they and us will never know that now .we are informed there is intrest in promoting eagles at a lower level , hagon tried that this year , but even as a son-in-law he was priced out . hope it is realised that this may be the only way eagles may race next year .
I hope that a lot of people attend tomorrow as it could be the last ever meeting at Eastbourne but more importantly a really good crowd may encourage a new promoter.
Are you talking about the punch up at the end? I believe that might have something to do with Floppys last ride and that the opportunity for pay back resulted in a team brawl (Something that doesnt happen in football Aussie ) what about BD's new scheme to save the club - At the dinner dance he was approached by 8 different people each offing a £1k each to help keep the club going Bobs thought about this and if 100 did that then that would raise £100k of which £60k would be used to finance the team for next season the other £40 would be used as prize money for a raffle every home meeting for those who had paid their £1k. The top prize would be a £1K, £650second and third £350 giving those participating a chance to get their money back. It has its merits to a point where I stand I'm sure that theres 10 of us that could scape together £100each giving that little syndicate a chance of being in something like a bigger 50/50 club. My honest opinion is that we will be running again next season I think theres something going on behind the scenes to much talk about the planning etc for next season for it to end. Aslo Matt Fraud when interviewed said that there need to be big changes in the BSPA at the next AGM well we know Russell going but he did stop short at accepted that maybe the sport needed an independant body running it. _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
The fight was due to Lewis's Grandad Tony, it seems that Troy Batchelor had been winding Lewis up all meeting and by the end of the last race he finally snapped - have to admit he had been drinking (Tony) so that didn't help but Tony did start it and tried punching Troy but all he got was a cut above his eye which needed steri strips and probably a nice black eye. It was uncalled for and a terrible end to the last meeting.The one thing that made me laugh was Hans Anderson saying he loves these 'Friendly' matches.
thanks michelle . wouldn't he be a marvellous team manager , experienced and qualified in every way , and a true eagle .
Sorry to disppoint you but Floppy was involved and nearly whack his wife. He was after Troy.
Woops, puts that idea well and truly into touch
Just a thought, and no doubt "Management" have already made provision for this, presumably bridger and his retinue will be nowhere near Poole on Wednesday, with feelings as they are, coupled with the fact Ippo will be in town, it would be really rather tactless to let the various parties be within "striking" distance of each other!
