EnglishRoundabout Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 What a treat to watch Jonsson every week on the Lakeside track. I've seen Leigh Adams ride that track supremely well, but Andreas I'm sure will be equally superb. Not sure about him and Ben Barker riding together though! As others have said, a major coup to have him back riding on these shores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Living ten minutes from the track I rarely go there but seek my racing elsewhere. That said with the master stroke of AJ returning I'll be more than happy to give Jon Cook my money next year. Great entertainer, popular with the the fans and a Gentlman as well. Well done JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom House Kid Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) I think the team will be 1. Andreas jonsson 9.032. Richard Lawson 6.503.Other ?4. Kim nilsson 5.635. Mikkel bech 6.85 6 Ashleigh Burks 7 Adam Ellis Ben Barker5.85 Not sure he would fit in well with AJ and Mikkel! Mads Korneliussen 5.95 ok away needs to get dialled in around Arena Timo Lahti 5.45 rides Arena well worth a punt (swap riding order) Club assests I believe Peter Ljung 5.54 all depends on what Peter turns up! bit inconsistent Jonas Davidsson not sure of average on right equipment and fully committed worth a punt at third heat leader IMHO Edited November 29, 2014 by Custom House Kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done JC Same here,I used to go to Lakeside but have been going to Kings instead. But with AJ back I shall probably try and do both. 1. Andreas jonsson 9.03 2. Kim nilsson 5.63 3. Joonas kylmakorpi 6.33 4. Mads korneliussen 5.95 5. Mikkel bech 6.85 No thanks. I am sure Lakeside can do better than that.IMHO.

Vincent Vega Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Great news that AJ and MB are in the team next season. Even better that Watt wont be in the team Poole are welcome to him. Ben Barker would be fine by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Barker would be fine by me. it depends who Barker signs for . If he goes back to Plymouth their race night is Friday, as are a number of other PL clubs. Trouble with Ben is that a lot of people don't like riding with him as was the case with Lewis. He has a bIt of a reputation of not looking out for his partner. His average fits perfectly but wether his personality will fit is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castrolargh Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have got to say a big well done to the hammers management for bringing aj back.As was said in an earlier post , I bet a few people who may have stayed away will think "hang on aj will be here this week, not going to miss that", there was a similar situation a couple of years ago when emil signed for Coventry and came to the NA, loads turned out to see him. Obviously one swallow doesn't make a summer, but the feelgood factor of a big star returning like aj reminds me of when we had to go to the "abbey" as a kid because ole olsen was in town with the bees, or penhall with cradley, mike lee with the stars, pc and mort etc etc etc. Big names are draw cards , no doubt about it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good signing as #1 for Lakeside which they have been missing for a few seasons. As you said "One swallow doesn't make a summer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Kennett ? Given the Hagon connection and Edwards like for this type of home track think you may well be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Lakeside is my local track but supported Ipswich from 1980 so cant change lol. May have to get over a few more times if AJ is back such a great rider to watch round there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom House Kid Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Kennett is a better rider than his current Elite league average in my opinion so would be worth a punt. He rides our track well an should improve his average. What I have a problem with is a couple of misdemeanours in the past. Siting on the track not clearing his bike and injuring one of our riders! and the incident with the silencer against us!

I get what you are saying completely CHK but Lewis also had a reputation before he came to Lakeside but he won the majority of the fans over, not all of them mind as i knew of one or two that simply did not like him and stuck to that belief out of principle. Putting aside past events for a minute it would make good business sense for him to be at Lakeside as it may attract some cross over support from Rye House. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
