Lakeside vs Newcastle/Peterborough sat 15th @Rye house

Recommended Posts

I can't go as I will be working tonight but I cannot imagine this meeting being allowed to go beyond 11pm with so many houses near by, I know there is no curfew as such but I wouldn't be surprised if the second meeting is called after ten heats.

One of the main reasons I’m not bothering. Pay full whack to watch a team I’m not interested in (no offence Newcastle) and then possibly only see a handful of heats with the panthers in it

I started at a young age, so i go back further than that. I went to the last ever meeting at West Ham and the first at Arena. It's very rare for one track to close, and another to reopen the following night. I hope the move is a success for the club.

Zach has been withdrawn from tonight's meetings. Jack Thomas replaces him for the Newcastle match and Matthew Wethers against Peterborough. Anders Rowe is named #8 for both.

Dont recall ever seeing different guests being used for one team in a double header they normally use the same guest.

It's a good thing though. If anything happens in the first meeting another replacement is available immediately.

I can think of a lot of fans thinking exactly the same, this should have had an earlier start time. They haven’t exactly done their best to attract Newcastle fans either.

Could this be the first meeting to go on past midnight,,not impossible with the minimal medical care tracks can afford these days,,It will be tough for the Hammers with probably two team members missing ,and two meetings to get through,,We have to hope that they are both good safe matches tonight,,

Could be the second ever Kings Lynn v Ipswich in either 98 or 99 finished at 15 minutes past midnight.....

Matt Wethers is there riding for Newcastle same as Wilkinson  who guests for Panthers, so expect hes seen as the better option to guest than Jack Thomas in the second match,which could make Thomas think stuff you im not coming

It should have been a 6pm start tonight. Next Sundays 2pm and 7pm starts could cause problems, if there are racing delays or traffic hold ups.
