mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 25, 2015 Is Doyle also missing for this meeting due to practice for best pairs or is he missing it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyE 822 Posted March 26, 2015 Is Doyle also missing for this meeting due to practice for best pairs or is he missing it? The Hammers' website has Doyle down as riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mjolnir 184 Posted March 26, 2015 Adam Ellis had a much better night for Birmingham last night, so hopefully that's given him a bit of a boost for tomorrow's meeting. We'll need AJ up to speed to deal with Doyle - hopefully he's feeling better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrow boy 119 Posted March 26, 2015 Lakeside's website lists their top 5 as AJ, MBJ, KN, EK,RL. I presume this is not the riding order as MBJ must be the second highest average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 586 Posted March 26, 2015 Think this will be tight, with either team winning by no more than 8 points, but hoping for a first Lions Elite away win on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted March 27, 2015 First Raceday Weather Check 10am: It's fine, bright and sunny here just across the south side of the Dartford crossing and today's forecast from the Met Office states it's going to be dry all day with NO hint of rain whatsoever and temperatures around 10C all day. Further update at lunchtime but NO weather problems anticipated as the Vortex Lakeside Hammers go flat out to tame those Lions from Leicester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westhamboy66 599 Posted March 27, 2015 Ridiculous that i am going to watch Rye House at Peterborough and we are minus one of our Assets (Edward Kennett) simply as he is needed to prop up an EL club. Complete disrespect for the PL which is being runined by EL clubs inability to have their own riders. Beggars belief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mjolnir 184 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Ridiculous that i am going to watch Rye House at Peterborough and we are minus one of our Assets (Edward Kennett) simply as he is needed to prop up an EL club. Complete disrespect for the PL which is being runined by EL clubs inability to have their own riders. Beggars belief. But at the time that he signed to ride for Lakeside he wasn't your asset, he was on loan at both clubs. Len's statement made it sound like it is Eddie's preference, mostly from a financial perspective - at least that's how I read it: "As it did not affect very many fixtures, and with the riders interests at heart, Rye House were happy with the arrangement. Suddenly the picture was changed when a swap with Jason Garrity would have given Rye House official priority and Edward would have lost his place ( and substantial income) from Lakeside. So to keep faith and uphold my prior agreement with both Edward and Lakeside, the new contract and transfer agreement was delivered to the BSPA after the official start to the season, thus giving Lakeside the priority that was previously agreed." It is very frustrating for any fan / club to be missing a rider - in many ways I'm not a fan of riders doubling up between leagues. Haven't rules been brought in to reduce long term doubling up within the next couple of seasons? Edited March 27, 2015 by Mjolnir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
