EASTBOURNE EAGLESEASTBOURNEEAGLESIt has recently been announced that the Eastbourne Eagles are due to compete in the NationalLeague in 2015. Sport in Profile Magazine caught up with the club’s Joint Press Officer PaulWatson to find out more about the set up that they have in place.He started by telling us about his involvement, saying,“I have watched speedway at Eastbourne since 1994,although I have been following the sport since 1965.I started going to Eastbourne after I moved to Sussexfor work reasons.My main role is to try and generate as much publicityfor the club as possible. We have a website, Facebookpages and are on Twitter. The biggest challenge forspeedway - as it is for many smaller sports in the UK- is trying to get publicity on a national scale.Speedway, like most motor-cycle sport, is down the listbehind football. This tends to feed into the local mediatoo. The local press has traditionally been supportiveof speedway in Sussex and that remains the case.However, the circulations of these newspapers aregreatly reduced over the last ten years or so.It is a bit cross your fingers and hope for the bestsituation at the moment. We know the currentpromoters of the sport at Eastbourne will not be takingthe club into the 2015 season. However, anotherperson or people may come forward and wish to takeover the club. It is also possible that the owner maydecide to continue running the sport at the stadium,which he owns. At time of writing we are involved in a 40 ISSUE 02

My speedway life started as a baby in the pram at Rayleigh Weir but they closed and moved to Ryehouse. As life goes on I moved to London and went to Hackney where I met up with John Wainwright who was riding for Newcastle. I went on to help him in the pits when he moved back to Ryehouse, helping him with a little bit of sponsorship as well. I moved to Kent and had to support the eagles top flight speedway and a young Nickie Pederson. After a little while I started sponsoring heat13 through my business. I give the team steak when they get a maximum score.

Forme the biggest challenge is fitting in breakfastfor our B&B guests before dashing to the bogsite and being ready for the day.The enthusiasm and tenacity of GordonGreen the originator of the event andsubsequent organisers have been key tothe event’s success, but it would be nothingwithout the fun loving people who come totake part in all weathers from around Britainand across the globe. 44 ISSUE 02

If they can do so then their does not seem to be any reason why they cannot claim a considerably higher league position. Both their Promoter David Helmsley and Team Manager Norrie Allen recently travelled to the final round of the Grand Prix Series in Poland with the target of speaking to Jason Doyle and another unknown rider. Doyle, the Rapid Solicitors Lions number 1, held a preliminary discussion with Norrie Allan on practice day but was unable to make an appointment to talk with Helmsley on the Saturday. Speaking to their official website after the event Helmsley said, ““It was a little disappointing that the meeting did not happen but it was not a total waste of time as it gave me an opportunity to have a discussion with another rider who we are interested in offering terms to and Norrie was able to sound out other options we have in mind about the possibility of riding for Leicester next season. We acknowledge that we can only go so far with team building plans because until the points limit has been decided at next month’s Annual General48 ISSUE 02

LEICESTER LIONS Meeting we are unsure of what numbers we have “ to play with in terms of riders’ averages. What is for certain is that we are committed to building a team that has the potential to play a part in the chase for honours next season. To do that our home form has to be more robust than it was and whilst we picked up the odd consolation bonus point away from home those near misses will need to be converted into wins if we are to achieve our goal of improving upon the results of the season just ended.” Leicester Lions are clearly a set-up looking to make progress and it will be exciting to see how they are able to develop over the coming years. Following the end of the season they had the following message for their supporters on their official website, “David Hemsley and the management team would like to thank everyone who has supported Leicester Speedway during our first season in Elite League racing. The support of all sponsors, volunteers and fans has very much been appreciated and we hope to be able to bring you news of our 2015 team as soon as possible.” Sport in Profile Magazine would like to wish them the best of luck for the future.“The support of all sponsors, volunteers and fans has very much been appreciated and we hope to be able to bring you news of our 2015 team as soon as possible.A family run businessestablished in 1975 offeringsales, repairs & in housemachining services.FOR ALL BEARING & POWER OFFERINGTRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT INCLUDING...
