Lakeside V Wolverhampton 4th July


Recommended Posts

Yeah, Lindgren, Karlsson, Woffinden and Proctor at reserve banging in 13 points. We don't want to see that strength team back in a hurry thank you very much ! ! !

 

:nono::nono::nono:

Just finished watching wolves get dicked and I saw something on the stream , it was a tractor with a big container on the back I think it had some sort of liquid in it, we don't have one of those at poole should we get one , will it improve the racing I would be grateful if someone could let me know what it is

Cracking meeting with plenty of overtaking. Mikkel around the outside of Tai in Ht11 was brilliant & Richards last to second in the next heat superb. Every Lakeside rider was on fire tonight, including PK whos score doesn't reflect just how well he rode

 

Pitty only Tai & an unlucky Danny King turned up for the Wolves tonight,

 

Next up a win away at Lynn... :)

Blimey, you're patient!!

Hope the supporters are patient.

Noticeable the crowd was well down last monday against Swindon,compared to the previous week against Lynn.

 

There were mutterings where i stand,some had had enough already for this season.

 

Do think the attendance will be OK this monday though,but only because its a local derby with Coventry.

I made the trip for this one ( visiting reatives and watching tennis) to see the w/champ and PK in action in the latters case to see weather the legend was past his sell by date as some were claiming.TIA came good as the meeting went on and if I am honest PK confused me as IMO he is as brave and committed as ever ,still mixing in a fair but firm manner as he always has.His scoreline did not did not do him justice IMO and I am of the opinion that it is a machinery problem ( how a rider of his age and experience can't sort it is beyound me) from the piont of view of his poor gating which has always been his strong suit .If a rider has not got the confidence in his machinery then it makes the job twice as hard particularly on a track like L/side .Hope this is not the last time I see this great rider in our league but suspect sadly that it might be the fact unless that machinery fault can be rectified and quickly. Maybe a change of track or a return to Wolves ( they cou;d do with something on last nights efforts) maybe just the tonic he needs as this often breaks the mind set riders fall into .

Thought PK rode well last night - his ht5 was excellent, rode some good lines, took King for 3rd and nearly got Wells: only beaten by Tai after that. Hasn't quite recaptured his gating tho - will surely come

I would agree with you he just seemed to be working very hard for his "supper" last night and the gating is the issue without a doubt but L/Side is just so unforgiving and I am sure if he hit the front it would be a totally different story .

Interesting that TS. There's nothing that motivates Van Straaten & Adams more than money, or lack of it. The last time the fans started voting with their feet they splashed the cash on Woffinden, To be fair to them, any changes now that aren't with a view to next season, look too late, and therefore pointless. Apart from a nuclear explosion centred on north Norfolk KL are home and dry.

Due to weather concerns the first ten heats were run through in an hour. All of the hammers rode well with some brilliant overtaking. All in all a good meeting

 

 

Chris Gay was putting the 2 minutes on as soon as the riders had left the track in the early stages. Racing started at 8pm. 15 heats followed by 4 practice laps by Adam were all completed by 9.40pm. The first spots of rain were falling soon after 10pm. That's the way to run a meeting !

Have to agree on all those points Wolfsbane.Only pride left to ride for this season,and we dont seem to have a lot of that at present.Think only Tai,Pawlicki and Jacob are favourites to start next season if you ask most Wolves fans.

 

And yes,it will be daylight robbery if someone steals the title away from Lynn now.

What has happened to Wells? Since signing for Wolves his career has moved forward at a steady pace each season until now, he's hit a brick wall. Was it being made to ride as a heatleader in this format that has stifled him? Must be a worry it may do similar to young Thorssell.

Wells is a big mystery to a lot of Wolves fans SCB.I have been saying at the start of this season(and last season)that this was going to be his time.

Sadly,it just hasnt happened,and there are doubts now if it ever will.He is still quite young,but certainly hasnt made the progress we had all hoped for.

 

Regards Jacob,certainly seems to be making a better fist of it in the UK,than he is in the Swedish league as a number 7.

Have to agree it was a slick and well presented match with little or no time wasted well done to all involved
