Hunters Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 We are planning our first visit to Lakeside on Good Friday. As two of us cannot stand for long is there a decent seating area or must we bring our own chairs. Any advice will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Bring chairs. There will be many others doing the same. There isn't a seated grandstand type area at all, though there is a covered area by the starting gate where regulars bring their own fold up chairs.

As I remember, the M25 was the only seated area!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voice Of Reason Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 We are planning our first visit to Lakeside on Good Friday. As two of us cannot stand for long is there a decent seating area or must we bring our own chairs. Any advice will be appreciated There's also the bar area and there are usually seats on the balcony. However, you need to get there early as these are quickly taken. It's also not the best viewing area in my opinion; being high up on the first bend. As suggested, the covered grandstand is probably best. It certainly gets the best atmosphere for banter - particularly during Eastbourne meetings.

Hunters Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks for your advice. If the weather stays like it is now in Eastbourne we wont need Thermals. Hope it lasts through Friday but they will certainly be needed Friday Evening . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Lewis scores a maximum on his debut for ZKS ROW Rybnik, in a comprehensive home win over MIR Equal, in the Polish league today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieb Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Lewis scores a maximum on his debut for ZKS ROW Rybnik, in a comprehensive home win over MIR Equal, in the Polish league today! Bit of a white wash that by the looks , his bikes looked good , well done though Lewis points needed to bring in the pennies and boost confidence.Hope he can score like that against the stars !!

LagutaRacingFan Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Feel sorry for Richard Lawson, He is going to get out classed by Richie Worrall tomorrow and Lakeside fans are going to moan at him and Jon Cook. Lawson's terrible around Lakeside, No idea why he was signed; He is dynamite around the Showground but poor everywhere else.

tocha Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Feel sorry for Richard Lawson, He is going to get out classed by Richie Worrall tomorrow and Lakeside fans are going to moan at him and Jon Cook. Lawson's terrible around Lakeside, No idea why he was signed; He is dynamite around the Showground but poor everywhere else. Of course, he wasn't the original choice. When negotiations with Richie Worrall broke down on the eve of the season, the Hammers had to make a rapid choice and Richard was available.

Lawson 4 rides paid 7 Worrall 7 rides paid 9 Only Lawson's third appearance as a Hammer at Arena Essex and on the night averages 7.00 whereas Worrall averaged 5.142 - enough said.

LagutaRacingFan Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Fair enough, Rich surprised me... He's always good in Heat 2 but his other rides were more impressive and he nearly beat Niels. His gating has always been top class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I'd say so great decision by the management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Fair enough, Rich surprised me... He's always good in Heat 2 but his other rides were more impressive and he nearly beat Niels. His gating has always been top class. He had Dave Watt in is corner last night, giving encouragement and advice. Watts presence makes a big difference. That's why Justin Sedgemen started riding pretty well in the EL last year despite being sacked by Redcar. Watt and Hans Andersen are by far the best captains in the EL (except when Davey gets an occasional downer). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Hammers fans will be fiercely loyal towards Lawson and anti anything Worrall, however there is little chance that Worrall will not end up with a higher EL average at the end of the season.

I don't disagree, (in fact Worrall will already have a higher average on the next G/S) with that but everybody loves a fighter and Richard has come into the side at short notice and very much as the underdog and showed great spirit. He is never going to be World Champion and has his limitations but if he holds his end up and increases his average by even a small amount everyone will be pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Great to see Watt there with the team in the pit , supporting the boys even though he isnt able to ride. Showed a real team spirit. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
