Aroundtheboards 264 Posted December 15, 2015 This is good news for Lakeside 2016 ! Kelvin has a shed load of experience, is very professional and a complete gent. He has got to be as good as an eighth rider in the pits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Voice Of Reason 2,124 Posted December 15, 2015 Kelvin has got to be as good as an eighth rider in the pits. How wonderful. I'd rather we had signed a decent 7th one first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daytripper 1,123 Posted December 15, 2015 Interesting development in Cookie's backroom re-organisation. I have noticed Kelvin has been a regular in the pits last season especially in AJ's pit and the two seem to get on very well so this role seems to have developed from that. Lakeside seem to be the first EL club for many years that has an ex-rider of Kelvins standing in a coaching role. whether it is a tremendous success or not remains to be seen, but it certainly wont do any harm . I Kelvin can help some of the second strings get more consistency away from home it will be a job well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't he just TM though, or does he have a separate coaching role ? It seems that Kelvins role is with the youngsters on the training school right through to first team.

I got the impression Havvys job was more on the coaching side while Laurence Rogers helped him with the team managing. It's not like as team manager he has to do that much is it? I'd say it's only filling a program in these days but that wouldn't be in the best of taste as Havvy can't do that these days. So what does someone have to do as a team manager? Pick the riders for heat 15 and the off reserve change - leaves Havvy plenty of time to coach the youngsters. He even goes to their PL meetings with them to help out too.
