The Program at Lakeside was terrible. Apart from the race card, what did you get: 1. A page of JC comments. 2. A page with Tatum's comments. 3. A fixture list and handful of photos that you can get online 4. Pages and pages of adverts Not good value whatsoever

We've never met, though I think I would recognise him from his previous role :-) I have no doubt he can stick up for himself, but wanted to wade into this debate as I think he came in for some harsh and uncalled for criticism from a handful of individuals, plus one certain person who thought it was OK to have a pop at a forum because it only had 43 members.

As they said themselves - their post says a lot about them ;-)

A tongue in cheek comment like that , does it really? Does it tell you the hours of work and effort he used to put in voluntary to help run things at Lakeside? No thought not!

Everyone was saying that Neil was a nice bloke including VOR. His ability to carry out the Team Manager was bought into question. Your constant slating of VOR and anyone else who dares to post a negative comment is quite tiresome.

It was also the Forum that told you to go take a hike Bryn cos of your constant trolling and bullrubbish - exactly what you are accusing The Voice of Reason of doing. Lakeside Fans once again found out info from the SS this week, rather than their own forms of communication - website, FB or twitter. Another perfect example of what TVOR and others, including myself, have highlighted is a big issue.

So Jon knew the date of the AGM and that at the meeting he would have to commit to running in the EL. So why the hell weren't the rental negotiations completed beforehand. Can only think this was planned and we've just been given the usual bullsh1t

Would think that at 2 or 3 riders would come over from Lakeside to try and tempt the fans across.

Don't think there was much twisting going on. Jon said that they were exploring several options, including this mystery polish rider who would really make us serious contenders. That was certainly my perception. However, with the supposed AJ situation that changed. If that was the first time we have been told something, only for it to fail to materialise, then that is perfectly understandable. But it's not, we've been told of various plans over the last several years and none have come to fruition - backup for AJ, Changes will be made etc. On Monday, at his Heat 14 chat, we have been told that it's all change at Lakeside. Both on and off track. A complete revamp, of personnel and riders, that will take the club forward, plus a new track in 3 or 4 years time, hopefully. So let's wait and see what he delivers this time!!!

SKY Website is stating Lakeside vs Swindon next week - which is surprising news to all Lakeside fans!!!!

Tatum says on the club website - " We were desperately disappointed when we heard he couldn't travel" So they knew much earlier. Once again the fans being manipulated by withholding information

Given that notification of AJ's absence wasn't until after 7, I assume he must have already arrived in the pits. Can anyone confirm if he was there, or is it the usual bullrubbish of not telling anyone until it's too late.

At last some honesty about the crowd level. The photos posted on twitter clearly showed a poor crowd, yet Bryn still makes his usual promotional comments about how good things are at Lakeside!!!

Posted on Twitter by LakesideHammers :- Edward Kennett ruled out of tonight's meeting due to illness. Ben Morley comes in at Number 8.

The heavens are trying - Lots of rain this morning and now showers. Plus it's cold, so it will be freezing over there.

Or indeed Kings Lynn cancelling a meeting against Lakeside 2 days before because of a broken fuse!!

Bjarne he isn't. - thankfully A second heat leader he isn't. - during his last hammers spell that's where he finished up A team player he isn't. - I disagree. Saw a lot of team spirit from Lewis Good on away tracks he isn't - That's why Poole were sniffing around and using him as a guest

Looks like someone is heading for a ban already

New forum created, here's the link: http://lakesidehammerfans.freeforums.net/ Hopefully all those on the old forum can find and have fun using this new site

Might be worth setting up a Fans of Lakeside Speedway forum. With a name like that, I don't think they could close it. Anyway as originally said, treating us with utter contempt.

As Tatum said in his pre-ride assessment, you are almost constantly turning on that track If Doyle was turning that much he would have been on NP's inside! Your pictures shows Doyle turning left as he approached the bend - perfectly normal. It shows Nicky going straight - Off the racing line and going to fast to turn sharply given his position.

Interesting pictures and they do look quite damming. However a couple of point to note regarding the bottom picture: 1. You can see how close they are to the third bend and therefore should start turning/putting your leg out. Pedersen can't as he's carrying too much speed. 2. Doyle's left leg is in front of Pedersen's right. 3. It does not show Pedersen's speed given how much off the racing line he is.

Nicki was in front of Doyle, but was not on the racing line and was coming in hot. Right decision made.

This might get them to the playoffs, but what happens when they come up against Poole? If after 7 heats it's close, I think we all know what will happen

Think you'll find most Hammers fans are expecting another embarrassing performance
