mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 3, 2016 Can't they use them both as many times and when and where they want? No as Kennett and Lawson are no longer sharing a position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Will Cook be on a Ash-Tech engine or something completely different. Only reason i ask as i noticed he was selling 5 Ash-Tech engines the other day. Edited June 3, 2016 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted June 3, 2016 This is one of those perfect opportunities were each team should promote a junior. Williamson, Payne or Bewley for us and whoever for Lakeside. Opportunity for UK speedway missed. Sad times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted June 4, 2016 Will Cook be on a Ash-Tech engine or something completely different. Only reason i ask as i noticed he was selling 5 Ash-Tech engines the other day. He as sacked ash Holloway and getting new stuff sorted. Unsure what engines/engine tuner he is using now. But Deffo not on ash-tech ones. He has been practicing and testing at belle vue this week. The ash-tech engines were brilliant at start of meetings when track was grippy but as soon as the track went slick all he did was spin. That's why you saw scores like 3,3,1,1. Him and ash couldn't find a set up that worked on slick tracks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRM 97 Posted June 4, 2016 Can't see lakeside getting anything from this one, but a point would be handy and give us some confidence going into future away meets. I watched the clip on the British speedway site where S Worall came from last to second, and I must say what a stadium and racetrack you have there. Well done to all at BV, most importantly the fans that have stuck with it over the last few years - it's totally been worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why you saw scores like 3,3,1,1. That's sounds to me like he doesn't understand how to change his setup during the meeting, have to change the timing and carb jetting to suit changing track conditions.

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted June 4, 2016 The club has set up a purchase and collection point for customers of the National Speedway Stadiums South Terrace area, adjacent to the South Turnstiles just off Pink Bank Lane. The purchase and collection point for customers of the Main Grandstand and West Terraces will remain in situ adjacent to the ticket office on Kirkmanshulme Lane. We would again advise all customers to plan their journey well in advance tonight owing to the nearby Coldplay concert at the Etihad Stadium which kicks off from 4pm. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opportunity for UK speedway missed. Sad times. TBF, people are paying EL prices, they already see two draft riders you can't bring in even more "kids" The club has set up a purchase and collection point for customers of the National Speedway Stadiums South Terrace area, adjacent to the South Turnstiles just off Pink Bank Lane.

Good to see they have listened to the feedback (or what some call moaning, bitching and complaining) and done something about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedwaycrazy 71 Posted June 4, 2016 Fair point, but the form of Bridger will be crucial. If he goes well, then he will get 7 rides, which will cover quite a few of the gaps. He did well at King's Lynn last night. I would expect AJ, Lawson and Kerr to go well, all being used to big tracks. It can't hurt lakeside's chances that BV have only had 2 home meetings so far. It should be an interesting tussle. I would take a point quite happily. Up the Hammers ! It's fortunate for the Hammers that Fricke is missing, he is in the form of his life at the moment and full of confidence. Prediction time 44 - 46 Nilsson 7, Lawson 9, AJ 12, Bridger 13,...Kerr and Mear combined 5...total 46 If this comes off we will have one foot in the play offs!

Pirate Nick 1,801 Posted June 4, 2016 I think they probably just looked out of the window and realised that they needed to do something about it, the feedback was in the main moaning from people who weren't even there (again). The intention to open a dedicated ticket office for the back straight had already been announced before the Coventry meeting and they didn't waste any time 'doing something about it' by reminding everyone during the interval on Monday of the option to buy online and print at home. Not seen much feedback on the threads about the delayed meeting at Swindon or last night at Somerset which is a pity, I'm sure both promotions would welcome the opportunity to 'do something about it' although I imagine they would just put it down to a big crowd arriving late and change nothing, tut tut. The delay at Somerset was not due to the promotion messing up. It was due to the ambulance being stuck on the M5. The ambulance duly arrived and a short further delay was to allow the spectators who had been caught in the traffic to get in. I travel from Poole to Somerset Fridays and I can tell you it was the worst traffic I've experienced traveling to the Oak Tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Game On 1,117 Posted June 4, 2016 The delay at Belle Vue wasn't down to the promotion messing up either, quite the opposite! Both times it was due to bigger than expected crowds, the crowd on Monday was 3x what they used to get at the dog track. The difference between Belle Vue and other promotions is they are doing something about it. Sounds like bad planning to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted June 4, 2016 It is being reported on twitter that the stewards are stopping people taking in food, they even took sweets off the posters children. If true this action will stop some people going. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
