I expect as usual we will miss the boat where Ricky Wells is concerned. Might be a good idea to sign him and loan him out. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad

That would be typical of us. Announce someone we havent signed, and miss someone we could have! _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
oh parker sometimes i think we are joined at the hip --- should be our thoughts tho' . hip replacements are quite common , respect and agreement are not .
Ricky has confirmed that he will race in the elite league next season but wont tell me until the club in question annousce it!!! i tried my best to get him to say but he will race in the elite league next year
so the posts have unfortunatley been proven right . we have missed out again . it is this ineptitude , thought and action wise we find so frustrating and gives rise to our unease and distrust in our so called management . this has been our main cause of complaint now for the third year running , say what you like about cook , he was very good at his job and we have not replaced him at all . but with the limited managership skills we have now , and the lack of sponsorship and support , financially and otherwise , we do seem at this time to have a team worth supporting , but it is not in tablets of stone yet . but there are things we still cannot rely on still . note there is no smiley for " concerned / worried "

That's a real blow for us missing out on Wells, I agree with you 100% about Cook as Lakeside have experienced their best seasons in the EL under him. We really need a proper TM, if I wasn't still at school and had some sort of experience I woulsd apply, be a dream job
if i wasn't so senile so might i but it is a problem we do not need and what is worse i don't think anything will change . but as posted bobby said he would employ the right man even without any further sponorship/ backing ' it was his quote . maybe he is having second thoughts with all the outlay , notably on lewis , the russian , and now floppy .sure two of them will be worth it , but we are still not aware of the position with the russian . this is the second time they have " announced " the team , what next ? . but that is exactly the problem !! the uncertainty , the changes , this would not be the case if we had a cook , rosco , middlo , adams type . think we remember the panic and confusion and having to settle for james last year . still say the six others are exciting , the best of the old and the new . but we are not aware of what is happening in the world of speedway , the russian and wells had things go wrong before . if wells was and is intrested why did he not look into the possilities this year .might be a false dawn again . , as might the russian .

Ray, not meaning to cause any offence, but this is getting a bit repetitive.
No one has a bottomless pocket.
The promoters have to work within a points structure and budget.
As supporters we all have our own views as to who we may prefer, but at the end of the day they decide.
Sometimes it may work, sometimes it may not.
Constantly criticising won't change anyting.
Why not be grateful that we still have a team to SUPPORT!

For what ever reason Wells decided last year to go to the States and apply for citizenship rather than come here. Maybe BD thought twice this time and decided to give the russian a second chance. I see the "Russian"is listed on the BSPA website as part of our line up and I believe they are not normally added until theyve signed _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!

As you will most prob know ever since eastbourne became linked with ricky ive taken a keen interest in his career.just like to point out a few things for people to think about.
1------------ spent a month in sweden racing racing 2008
2-------------came to cardiff for the british gp to watch 2008
3-------------raced a rye house in the under 21 world chap round 2008
4-------------Has beat the likes of Hamill,Janniro back in the states and has gone as far as possible there so to progress has to come to europe to further his career.(NOTED BY OTHER CLUBS)
This guy is 17 and going to be one of the best riders in the world in a few years time,why has he not been tracked by the club like i have been watching him,as you can see there were a few opp to meet up with ricky in this country.It just doesnt make sence that they made the first approach over a year ago and never followed it up either mid season last year or keeping in constant touch with reports from last season.YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE EFFORT TO GET THE LIKES OF RICKY WELLS AND I AM NOT VERY PLEASED YET AGAIN HOW THE CLUB DO BUSINESS.
hi kevin , re-read my post , have you been to specsavers yet ?! . there was no actual critisism , and in earlier posts i have stated how pleased i and others are , but expressed concern over the russian and ricky wells , as it didnot work out with either before . i mentioned we were short of backers / sponsors , two major ones from last year are no longer with the club . hence my comments that the outlay has been considerable , and is really falling on one pair of shoulders . we are very grateful , but gates will improve with floppy back . bobby has stated that if the right man came along , especially to manage all fascets of the team and club , he would employ him . as yet there is no news , but a difficult post to fill , those qualified are with clubs already it would seem . so where am i repeating critisism ? the dugard dynasty cannot do everythinhg by themselves , and they are the only ones that are irreplaceable . the other 6 riders , brilliant , i have already agreed with that totally .just nervous incase the situation which involved the same two riders before left us having to have one very weak reserve who was usually limited to three rides .not grumbling , this time ,or in the previous post .the atmosphere on the track , in the pits and around the stadium should be fantastic .
Just been on the BSPA site, and it has reported that Ricky Wells has signed for Coventry. After trying last season to sign, I would have thought that perhaps they would have got his signature this season. Perhaps Hamill played a part in him going to Coventry, and we know that Eastbourne are not the flavour of the month with a certain person at Coventry. This is an opportunity missed. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad

Maybe Aussie, Ricky Wells didnt want to come here _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
see he has now joined coventry .well we were never going to take a risk with reserves strength this season , for a change , the formation of the team losing all three heatleaders is totally changed . think we will suprise many this year , just hope it is for pleasing reasons .basically we have alround strength and riders that are likely to have be improved their experience and capabilities . though short on heatleaders so are most other teams .coventry seem to be the strongest with three heatleaders [ including kennett ] two strong second strings [ oliver allen and ben barker ] and wells, sitera and wells completing their eight . speedway star tips swindon , we shall see .
well to say we have missed the boat with Ricky is a understatement.ok so we couldnt get his average altered last year,but neither have coventry this year and they are willing to take the chance.HE WOULD have came but for the 4.00 average he was labelled with last year,that was the ONLY thing that stoped him.But im even more annoyed because we didnt try anything last season to keep Ricky interested in Eastbourne when he spent a month in sweden,then rode at rye in the under 21s in 2008,all opp missed to take him to eastbourne,let him meet people,try the track,see the area etc all in readyness for this season.im lost for words no forward thinking and just a little bit of effort and we could be in a differant situation today.
