Slovenian rider Zagar scored 12 points in Eagles' first leg Knock-Out Cup win

Eastbourne Eagles co-promoter Mike Bellerby says the side is planning to switch their home meetings to either Saturdays or Sundays.

The Eagles have hosted the majority of fixtures at Arlington Stadium on a Thursday night this season.

He told BBC Sussex: "That's what we're looking to sort out for next season - a race day that the fans will come to.

"We know they will do that on a Saturday or a Sunday. The fans love their weekend racing at Arlington."

Meanwhile, team manager Trevor Geer feels they've proved their critics wrong after the Eagles secured a place in the Knockout Cup final after victory over Wolverhampton Wolves.

"I think it's fantastic. At the start of the year everyone was writing us off and we knew the team would come good," Geer said.

"The second part of the season couldn't have be better and not many teams come to Wolverhampton and win."
