The club’s second team – named the Seagulls – face Kent Royals in a National Development League match at Arlington Stadium. Club managers hope the attractive admission price will please existing supporters and tempt newcomers.

Club co-promoter Lee Kilby said: “We hope our regular fans will come along and cheer the Seagulls, some of whom may well go on to become fully fledged Eagles in due course. We aim to make these NDL-only nights a fun-filled, family affair to hopefully attracted lapsed fans and to attract a whole new generation to the excitement of Speedway.”

The night will also mark a landmark in Hailsham-based Nathan Ablitt’s career. He makes his home debut for Eastbourne in a match which will see two returning favourites in the team – No 1 Jake Knight and captain Richard Andrews.

Kilby said: “We have picked up three points from their two away matches so far and that’s an excellent start to the season. They’re aware that the last time Eastbourne rode in this league in 2018 they took the title. The league has changed a lot since then, but Eastbourne Seagulls know the standard we are aiming for.”
