Mjolnir Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Swindon are back to Arena Essex again already and hopefully we can finally get a convincing home win against them for the first time in a while! PK will surely be worth more points this time round and that alone will make a big difference, but I think both our reserves could score even better than last time now that they've had a few more meetings - I think both can realistically be aiming for more 2nd string scalps on Friday. Pedersen in for Batch might be weakening the Robins slightly and it's a shame that us Hammers won't be getting to see Steve Worrall but I look forward to seeing Kildemand as always! Lakeside Hammers: 1. Peter Karlsson, 2. Richard Lawson, 3. Davey Watt (captain), 4. Mikkel Bech, 5. Lewis Bridger, 6. Ben Morley, 7. Adam Ellis. Swindon Robins: 1. Peter Kildemand (captain), 2. Dakota North, 3. Nick Morris, 4. Simon Gustafsson, 5. Bjarne Pedersen (guest), 6. Dan Greenwood, 7. Benji Compton (guest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ridiculous that we have completed 5 meetings and were back here for a second time!...terrific fixture planning no wonder the sport's crowd figures dwindle..and hey ho yet again a team minus regulars pfft 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 What is Bjarne's best score at Lakeside?? Was it 19, 20 or 21 points??? As recall his best was 23, but its certainly something very exceptional. He has looked a bit naff at Lakeside for the last few years but he rode well for the Eagles on Good Friday and delivered the goods when he came out on a t/r, so bearing in mind Batch rarely goes at his best at Lakeside I would say that if Bjarne rides as he did on Good Friday he makes the Robins a little stronger. Kildemand's gating was very good in the last 3 rides of his last visit so paired with Bjarne at 1&5 I think they will be a formidable paring, especially as the Peter Karlsson seems to have been lacking his usual sharpness from the gate so far this year. Swindon's overall record at Lakeside in recent years than probably any other club, and its nearly always a good meeting when they are down The Robins desperately need points if they are to be in the frame at the end and Lakeside can't afford to drop another one at home. Likely to be a closely fought match I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ridiculous that we have completed 5 meetings and were back here for a second time!...terrific fixture planning no wonder the sport's crowd figures dwindle..and hey ho yet again a team minus regulars pfft The fixtures were originally more spaced out...but when Batchelor got a call up to the GP, Swindon were able to re-arrange the latter to and earlier date to prevent a clash. Can't see Swindon getting anything from this one, hopefully Bjarne & PK can come up with the goods and the middle order can all weigh in to get a point...maybe wishful thinking!

Falcon Hammer Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Looks like the weather's going to be the winner here. Heavy rain during the day & 85% chance of heavy rain at 8pm If it's postponed, hope it's early, then I can watch the Rockets win at Somerset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 As a Robin I don't want to see this meeting go ahead as we are missing Batch and Worrall whilst carrying Gustafsson every meeting. Unfortunately, Stevie Worrall won't ride at Lakeside this season anyhow, because of his Edinburgh commitments. Bachelor would definitely be missed though; been riding Arena really well on his last few visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammers' website will be updated from 1pm onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can't see this meeting running, but easy Lakeside win against a poop team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can't see this meeting running, but easy Lakeside win against a poop team No reason why the meeting shouldn't run at the moment as there's been no overnight rain and none so far this morning. If there's any change to that situation then the club's official website will be updated accordingly with the next update scheduled for 1pm unless things alter dramatically before then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritPete Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 If we get within 10 points, it will be a revelation.If we get a point, it will be a miracle.If we win the match, then there really is a God. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
