EASTBOURNE ON HOLD

EASTBOURNE have postponed Saturday’s home fixture against Redcar as they work to resolve cashflow and funding issues.

The Eagles say they have been affected by much lower than anticipated match receipts and revenues from mid-July onwards.

A club statement said: “We are working with the BSPL (British Speedway Promoters Limited) and the SCB (Speedway Control Bureau) to evidence and comply with requirements going forwards and remain confident of a medium and long-term solution.

“We are working hard to ensure that late and overdue payments are fulfilled as soon as possible and to secure the immediate future to get us to the end of the 2021 season and hopefully beyond.

“We are fully committed to honouring all outstanding financial commitments in the coming weeks.

“The postponement will ultimately help us with our ongoing recovery plans without risk of any further deterioration in our financial position.”
