Directors at the Eastbourne Eagles have announced the team will be pulling out of the 2021 season due to financial difficulties.
Due to COVID, the Speedway team has suffered lower revenue, therefore will no longer compete in the remainder of the season.
A statement released by the team said: “Despite exhaustive efforts and every opportunity given to the club to meet their financial obligations by the Directors of British Speedway Promoters Ltd, we have now been informed by the club that this will not be possible and they have asked to be withdrawn with immediate effect.”
It added: “We realise the impact this will have on the sport in general, and the Championship in particular, and we sincerely hope the famous Eagles can return under new management at the famous Arlington Stadium for the 2022 season.”
