Prince Regent 16 Posted September 10, 2018 That's two matches in one night without any real home advantage. It won't be easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eyejay 37 Posted September 11, 2018 Hi fella, there is a cab rank there and in the early evening there should be plenty of cabbies on the rank . If not however, try Lakeside Taxis on 01375 383878 . There is a rank at the shopping centre too, but it is not always loaded with cabs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted September 11, 2018 Is it not time to have a new thread - something like Lakeside On The Move? I am not mocking the sadness of those fans who do not want it to happen but the Lakeside venue seems lost forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marko 956 Posted September 11, 2018 Potential disaster running two meetings on the trot with only six riders, that's a lot of wear and tear on the other six, our reserves could easily end up having 12 rides each over the course of the night if there are any further problems, rider replacement always means bigger gaps between heats with riders having two on the trot, we only have one man who can drive the tractors so grading breaks take longer, will Rye track staff be allowed to help or will Ken insist on doing everything himself as normal? grading and watering takes longer if there is only one man doing it. We need to get these meeting on, I understand that, but a 7pm is really just not a sensible idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So don't run R/R - I noticed the Comets had a guest for the unfortunate Dan Bewley so why not Lakeside? Given that it is at Rye - Nicolaj Busk Jacobsen springs to mind. I certainly agree running R/R is very risky. Edited; As Kyle is not in our top three - R/R is the only option - damn. Better have a No, 8 on standby then.
