Bagpuss Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Big meeting on Thursday for the Roger Warnes Transport Stars, need to get some momentum going again after two poor away performances. Lakeside will have a guest at number one for the unfortunate Davey Watt while Lynn may need cover for Lewis Rose who appears to have hurt his knee during his clashes with Jason Garrity last Wednesday. Ellis, Bech and Lawson are usually a handful at Lynn while PK, Bridger & Morley have struggled in recent times. A decent guest could make this interesting, wonder if Mads is free? Simon Lambert would slot in nicely if Lewis R is still sidelined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Simon Lambert has now done his allowed 4 guest appearances hasn't he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I assume its four per reserve? He has guested for both Lewis K and Lewis R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ah fair enough. Looking at the list Sarjeant seems the best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not 100% that a guest is needed for the Hammers. Davey was due to have a practice this weekend and, all being well, could ride for the Hammers in this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnir Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Did I read in Friday's programme notes that we'll also be missing PK for this one with a PL replacement? I don't have it handy at the moment so I can't check. I'm sure I remember reading something that made me think we were unlikely to get anything out of the meeting points-wise.

kelvinht Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm doing a rain dance as we speak as I can't make this one...b*gger...b*gger....b*gger.... Certainly need to get things rolling along again...i'll take a 7 point home win, but would prefer a more convincing 10-12 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No PK, riding in the Swedish League and, I understand , no Adam Ellis who is riding for his PL club Ippo. Goodness knows how the fixture clash with PK occurred. The Swedish fixtures were known about long enough, in fact I think they were out before the EL fixtures. The net result is that Lakeside seem to have to go with a PL six pointer at No1.

semion Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lyon is hoping Rose will have recovered for Thursday. Lynn to put those recent 2 away defeats very much behind them and stick one into Lakeside. According to Rob Lyon in todays EDP a win on Thursday more or less oputs us in the play-offs. 20 points plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Lyon is hoping Rose will have recovered for Thursday. Lynn to put those recent 2 away defeats very much behind them and stick one into Lakeside. According to Rob Lyon in todays EDP a win on Thursday more or less oputs us in the play-offs. 20 points plus As I've said elsewhere - we could lose all our remaining matches and still make the stupid playoffs! We have +23 atm [home points lost (-2) v. away points gained (+25)] so losing our remaining 6 home matches we'd still be +5 (-20 v. +25). Last year Poole were 4th in league with +4 so I think its highly unlikely we wouldn't make it. As its even more unlikely that we'll lose 6 home matches on the trot I'd say our place is already secured! For info, current league table based on points gained v. points lost: Lynn +23 Lakeside +3 Coventry +3 Poole +2 BelleVue 0 Swindon -1 Eastbourne -2 Wolves -4 Birmingham -9 Leicester -11 Edited July 7, 2014 by Star Fever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 A couple of questions come to mind: - how do Ipswich get priority over Adam when he is a Hammers' asset? - is this a re-arranged fixture? If the latter is true, it might answer the first but also begs the question as to why it was done for a date PK was not available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Another Fixture with half ( well 3 riders ) a team missing. Is this really the future of Elite League Speedway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Another Fixture with half ( well 3 riders ) a team missing. Is this really the future of Elite League Speedway ? Fixture planning is a failure every season - the sooner some sort of squad system is instigated the better. At least supporters could then identify replacement riders as 'theirs'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Another Fixture with half ( well 3 riders ) a team missing. Is this really the future of Elite League Speedway ? Yeah, No problems, but like you say, The Elite league is not that important, so why bother. After all, it is only the Play-offs that matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnir Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 - how do Ipswich get priority over Adam when he is a Hammers' asset? I have my programme handy this time - Jon said in Friday's notes that it was at Adam's request as he is concerned about his PL form, and apparently both him and Ben have always had the option to choose home meetings for their other clubs in the event of a clash as he feels it's important to put their learning and investment in the sport first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 If Davey Watt is fit and well, it will make it a far more interesting . Cant see any other outcome than a comfortable home win. The Promotion boys would have field day billing this as a top of the league clash between first and second teams. But we all know Lakeside are not the best traveller, and Lynn Stars still have a unbeaten home record in tact. Hoping for a good turn out, to watch an exciting meeting, with no more injuries, so everyone goes home happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thomas Jorgensen is guesting for PK. Simon Lambert in place of Adam Ellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 If Lambert is in for Ellis does this mean that Rose is fit to return ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
