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.

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

Agreed not a fair comment - Didn't hear anyone booing Lambert. Most were looking forward to seeing him. His move on Bech was OTT, but as soon as he crossed the finish line he was trying to apologise to Bech. He knew he'd gone to far and was trying to do the right thing. Respect for trying to do that and also to Bech for not throwing his toys out of the pram.

I applaud Jon for having the Fans Forum. However, we are then presented with a situation where we have no speedway for 2 weeks, 1 meeting, no speedway for another 2 weeks, then we have 2 meetings in the space of 4 days, all because of SKY - ludicrous.

With only 14 league matches, that's all we get now over a season!

I was really impressed with Jacobson this afternoon and even more Kasper Lykke , who rode much better than Boxhall and Kus.

Ah but this year our pants are even bigger with a few stains and skiddies. BTW, drying up around her now.

I would hope that the rain will be of benefit and produce a track that will give us some racing - don't think it will be too much to worry about. My fear is that they will scrap all the dirt off and we'll have a bore fest. Needless to say a third successive home loss on a crap track would be disastrous, especially with no meetings for 3 weeks.

Not right that half our fixtures are run in the first 2 months and for the remaining 5 months,there are only 8 fixtures!!!!

Made my first visit to Central Park and was impressed by the whole setup. Great stadium, facilities etc everything except the track. Never seen a track so devoid of dirt (and I go to Lakeside!!!) and the blue groove was beyond a joke. At the end it looked slippy out there and a few falls at the end seemed to prove that. Also why did the water cart only come out twice and on both occasions for only 1 lap.

Well done to the Bees - entertaining meeting. Vatcher proved once again what an absolute tool he really is. All this talk of sacking, He's the one that should go.

Probably being allowed to jump the start as usual

A six month ban would be pointless. He could race next year and currently sits in the top 8 of the GP and may even get a wild card place if he misses out. Needs to be much longer to have any effect. 9 Months at least.

Not sure not attending a meeting will achieve much as I don't think we could reach out to enough people. I like the idea of turning your backs on riders - that would be a little difficult to cover up on TV. Alternatively how about the wearing of a Bright Coloured T-Shirt - Yellow for example with a STOP THE ROT logo ( if it could be organised get all profits going to the SRBF).

And onc again you give yourself away f***wit

As I see it, the fixture list is very disjointed. People are not turning up because it is too espensive and they don't know who is going to be representing either team. Watching the Swedish and Polish leagues on TV - they seem to have got it right. Crowds are good and teams are stronger than the UK. To start with, we have to go to one night a week. With Poland on Sunday (and sometimes Monday), Sweden on Tuesday, then the UK has to go Thursdays. Home one weekk, away the next. Cut admission to £12 or £15 including programme. Until that happens, speedway will continue to decline in the UK.

Kenny Carter & Mark Loram

How is Terry Russell these days :mad:

I cannot believe it when I saw Barker sitting on his bike looking as though somebody had shot his grandmother. It was his last ride and we were mathematically still in with a shout. Where was Middlo!!! On paper Bridger and Barker are capable of beating Woodward & Doyle but it didn't happen. Middlo's no motivator and not a good team manager. The other 3 managers last night had their team pumped up and getting stuck in. We just seemed to be making up the numbers. FFS go Middlo.

Well said that man !

Bridger has been riding we Bridger definitely. Riding well at the moment. Then it has to be Cook or Worrall Finally, get rid of middlo and bring Rossiter in

Think you'll find it is Carter that is the legend and Penhall was nothing by an American fly boy. At the time there was much more interest in Carter and today more people talk about Carter than Penhall. Have to agree with Dirt about the 82 final. Not sure what footage you've watched but it's very clear that Penhall took out Carter and should have gone. Certainly no room was left.
