barraider 55 Posted August 18, 2018 Lakeside will end up racing home meetings elsewhere before the end of this season, i heard thou a friend at work How true it is?, i don't know but he is normally quite reliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted August 18, 2018 If Lakeside don't manage to fulfill their home fixtures, what's new? Jon Cook promised a minimum of 14 Meetings last year - and only delivered 13 (even after pulling out of the K.O. Cup for no reason). And they truly wonder why attendances are down?

barraider 55 Posted August 19, 2018 Maybe if moved to rye h on a sat night between both clubs they might get a good crowd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted August 19, 2018 why dont fans step back and let leakside get on with their own thing. the club is having a great season , so let the season run its course and see how it goes from there . i am sure all will be sorted out by the people that matter . good luck to em for this season and hope its good result @ the end of the end . unless ssomee super fan has shed loads of spare cash to build a new stadium , sit back and let the pros sort it out . no need for the knife twisting thing IMO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barraider 55 Posted August 19, 2018 If some super fan wants to waste money, he/she can crack on, speedway hasn't moved with the times and i'm sad to say as a young supporter(40) its game over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted August 19, 2018 As Godfrey alluded to in the SS Friday was never agreed for Lakeside to ride on. With Rye moving away from Saturdays I don’t understand why Lakeside insist on riding Fridays unless to accommodate riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barraider 55 Posted August 19, 2018 Godfrey does what he wants,not nice person and is as bad as chapman Hopefully the bspa will cease to exist one day soon then speedway might have a small chance of moving forward imo 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 950 Posted August 20, 2018 Lakeside can’t run most Saturdays because of four wheeled motorsport using the venue, that’s proably why it would make sense for the Hammers to run the odd meeting at Rye on a Saturday night where no other promoters can complain about it. if they fail to complete fixtures this season, that I think will be the end of it, there is no gong back if you can’t make an effort when your clearly one of the fancied top three or four teams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
