ANNOUNCEMENT ON EASTBOURNE’S NEW NUMBER SEVEN IS IMMINENT

Bearing in mind that the clock is ticking towards the Eagles coming to tapes for their opening Challenge match against the Peterborough Panthers, the time for the clubs management to put an end to the conjecture surrounding the identity of their number seven draws ever closer, an announcement to the effect being expected imminently.

It has remained the sports worst kept secret that Eastbourne fully intended to engage the services of Russian World Cup star Denis Gizatullin as the final piece of the jigsaw, subject to the arrival of the required language test certificate. However, with time in short supply and given the continued absence of the required documentation, the clubs bosses have been forced to go with Plan B as they endeavour to put an end to all such speculation and declare their completed line up.

Although Gizatullin’s name is sure to remain etched on the Eastbourne wish list, suggestion from within the club is that the new Eagles recruit is more likely to be of Polish descent rather than Russian. An announcement is finally expected within the next few days.

PROMOTIONAL EVENTS PLANNED FOR THIS COMING WEEKEND

Indeed the club will not be wasting any time in ‘getting the word out there’ with promotional road shows planned on both Saturday and Sunday (27^{th and} 28^th February) this coming weekend. The location for each event will be ASDA on Brighton marina, commencing at 11.00 a.m. and continuing until 3.00 p.m. On each occasion, an Eagles assembly, that will include skipper Cameron Woodward, complete with bike for the ideal photo opportunity, the Eastbourne management team and a group of die hard supporters will be endeavouring to spread the word to fans old and new, past and present – together with those as yet uninitiated in the sport of speedway - that big things are expected down Arlington way and that the Sussex venue is really the place to be throughout 2010.
