Speedwaycrazy Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Anyone got the team line ups, there seems to be a clash with both Eastbourne reserves riding for their other teams Is Bech unavailable also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I believe that Bech is available for the home meeting, but not for the return at Arlington. He's flying home to take part in a 'qualifier meeting' apparently. http://www.lakesidehammers.co/content/?p=7263 So, in effect,........bang goes any chance of an away point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 With a couple of probable also rans in reserve for Eastbourne, Lakeside have a pretty certain 12 point start both Home and Away so a big Home win and at least a point possibly more Away should be expected. They caught a lucky break having a double header on what is the only planned occasion when both Eastbourne reserves are elsewhere and 20 EL/PL teams are riding so no hope of a reasonable guest.

Always difficult to win at Eastie when they have Dugard riding at No8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Any ideas as to who will replace Mikkel at Eastbourne? With most teams riding that day, Claus Vissing seems to be the best bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedwaycrazy Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 jon Cook said R/R So that's Lawson, Bridger, Ellis and possibly Morley taking his rides if we are stuck! Quite a loss really having no Bech...although Eastie also having 'no reserves' will even it up, I wasn't going to go to the evening meeting but I think we could get something there now!!!!

Falcon Hammer Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 jon Cook said R/R Guess that's probably the best idea. Extra rides for Lewis, Richard & 2 for the reserves. Think Ben will excel on this track. Take it easy Adam, no need to be 100%, 100% of the time Thanks cityrebel, see you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophies Mate Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 For anyone coming to eastbourne with kids aged 6-11 buy the argus on sale outside and get each child with a paying adult in for a £1 also for the first 100 children through the turnstiles there's a free easter egg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnir Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Bech being unavailable will certainly leave quite a hole in the team for the away meeting considering how well he's been scoring so far this season, but hopefully we should get a few points out of R/R and Eastbourne's reserves situation should even things out. At least he's there for the home meeting. I hope Ben Morley continues improving and has a good night at Eastbourne - the track should suit him. The Eagles top 5 look very solid at home so we'll need a good performance from Lewis at Arlington. Hopefully he can start to settle down on the new equipment and get some consistency going. We could do with picking up at least a point away. It's a shame that I'm out of the country as I usually travel down to Eastbourne every year - I'll try to make the B fixture later in the season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunters Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 It would appear that only PL apply preference not NL as Dan Halsey is not in the Midenhall team at Scunthorpe on Friday but takes his place with the Eagles. Ben Hopwood for Lewis Blackbird weakens us but we should be able to cope with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazysue Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is there anyone who is going to the Lakeside leg of the meetings who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message including your mobile number. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krompa Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ben Hopwood guest for Eagles in both meetings? Funny thing, tried to find any info about him. Expected another youngster. Born 11-03-1981. Really young, only 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ben Hopwood guest for Eagles in both meetings? Funny thing, tried to find any info about him. Expected another youngster. Born 11-03-1981. Really young, only 33. An up and coming teenager then , I thought this system was to help up and coming British youngsters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the revised dob is correct fair enough, but a couple of the draft riders have been around too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well a couple of seasons ago we had tempretures of nearly 30 at Lakeside, last season it was about 4 degrees and bloomin freezing, tomorrow looks like somewhere in between and more normal for the time of year. At home i expect Hammers to win but Lahti does have a liking for our track and Kylmakorpi knows it well enough too, i think Hammers reserves should dominate that of Eagles though. The away meeting will be very hard without Bech although with the way Lawson is riding and if our reserves go well and the others chip in with a respectable points total then im hopeful we can take a point from it, cant see us taking anymore than four points from the day though. Hope for comfortable home win and anything on top of that will be a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 My first meeting of the year today @ Lakeside. Should be good crowd - always is for this fixture. Great to see Ben in action and looking forward seeing Bech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I think, knowing Ben as I do, he won't be all that amused to find out via this thread that he's ten years older than he thought he was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Looking for 4pts from the 2 meetings - going to be tough to get all 3 at Arena though, think Eagles top 5 will go well here. C'mon you Hammers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
