Swindon - Lakeside Now Thurs 28-8-14


Recommended Posts

Swindon already very gate and go track, the rain has just made it 10 times worse. and Rosco and Batch have the cheek to moan about other tracks

Been rubbishe for most of the season but clearly you havent seen the last 2 meetings since they sorted it out. No track would provide good racing after the downpour we had.

I have see it mate. been better last 2 weeks but still not great, still to much for gaters and not racers which makes it bit dull.

 

In fairness Rosco and his robins are first to moan when they have to race on a track thats too wet or dusty regardless of the weather that team have had

Even the riders don't look like they are enjoying this

Yeah no doubt that if this meeting was taking place in April then it would be off. Rushing through with play offs in mind. Batch is a whining little sh*t at times. Agree with you there.

This track reminds me a lot of the one that Coventry raced against Swindon on at the beginning of the year

 

I think with not many dates left, its a case of getting the meeting done as who know if it would have time to be rearranged at a later date with the cut off date so near.

 

It's a shame as think this could have been close

 

There are some riders really not looking up for it but do agree with posts of others about the concerns around Nathan. I know he's still very unexperienced and I'm all for teams nurturing their fast track riders but it does seem a lot of last places. Hopefully he will come good soon

To be fair, after Coventry's away Mauling of Lakeside at the weekend, I didn't expect it to be as close as it has been.

 

Only one who looks committed to pass and attack the track is Cook, and he's a guest


Away on holidays so what is really going on with Killer as even Scott Nicholls scored more for us when he was No 1?.

Think the track could have something to do with it tonight as he didn't like it when Bees visited start of the season and it was wet

On a plus for Lakeside their 2 remaining meetings are against a now Ward free Poole so not impossible to get points at home however unlikely with this team.

 

Why did Lakeside sack one of their best riders in Bech. Watt & King are not a strong enough top 2

 

This Lakeside team are even making Batchelor look good and we know that doesn't happen very often when the track is wet :)

Jon Cook did have a moan about how often he has been missing, but it wasn't really a sacking ... with his latest injury he would have only been available for 1 of our remaining fixtures this season. With fans always complaining about guests, it made sense to sign Danny as he was likely to guest for us anyway.

Hate to say it but I think after tonight it is now a 3 way battle for the play offs. Lakeside started the season well and stayed in top 2 for a long while but this side is not looking strong enough.

 

After the events of today, I personally think (and its just my opinion) King's Lynn and Coventry look favourites for the title if they can keep the form we have seen this season

ok I see mate, just wondered as he was really impressive along with Lawson when you visited Brandon earlier in the year but yeah can understand if wasn't gonna be available. can sympathy as at the moment at Coventry we never seem to have a full team. forgetting what its like to ride without a NL rider as no facility lol

 

Where we all of Lakeside's own riders tonight? Know Ben is injured

I agree. With Ward being banned today I think Coventry are favourites.

 

Coventry just have all round strength for me.

thats if we get in to the play offs. I love watching this years team but never seem to have a full team and with us going to Belle Vue having to use a NL rider instead of MJJ (against a flying cook lol) and then guests & maybe no Facility against King's lynn as well as 2 home & 1 away meeting still to rearrange, Its gonna be a big task

Dont start getting all Shovlar on us. Coventry will make it easy. Eastbourne have 6 away matches left and are gash.
