Bryn Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) FIRST RACEDAY WEATHER CHECK - 18.03.2016 12.30pm and here in Erith, Kent just across the Thames from the track (circa 3 or 4 miles away) it's cloudy, dry and a little bit nippy BUT the main thing is that speedway IS back tonight so come on, be there for the Spring Trophy! Gates open 6pm, autograph session at 7pm, meeting starts at 8pm and I'd suggest, that like myself will be doing, you wrap up warm. Next Weather Check will be posted direct from the track circa 3pm. Special adult admission prices tonight, kids free up to certain age so for full details & preview go to: http://www.lakesidehammers.com/ Edited March 18, 2016 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 4.20pm WEATHER CHECK: Sorry this is later than planned but being the opening meeting it's been a tad hectic! NO change to earlier weather check, meeting ON, wrap up warm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sommelier Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I thought Bridger looked very sharp Friday night considering the length of time out of racing. My concern is Jawa power, or the lack of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornsey Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I thought everyone looked pretty sharp. Even our reserves looked on the pace and I am sure they won't have such stiff opposition in a normal league meeting. Early days, but the Play offs should be manageable and then, well, who knows Up the Hammers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER180 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes most looked good but aj and Richard stood out well fast lets hope they take that into the up coming season and the dial in quick. COME ON YOU HAMMERS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwaysliders Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 anyone know roughly what the crowd figure was approx?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 anyone know roughly what the crowd figure was approx?! My guess is somewhere between 6-800. A very poor crowd to be honest, but I would expect a significant improvement for the Kings Lynn meeting this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 My guess is somewhere between 6-800. A very poor crowd to be honest, but I would expect a significant improvement for the Kings Lynn meeting this week. Very difficult to judge the size of the crowd in the dark. It was probably lower than for an average league meeting but it was a bitterly cold night and no doubt that kept a lot away. I found it very difficult to assess the team. I think AJ and Lawson were terrific, especially Lawsons gating, and to some extent they overshadowed the others. Personally I think there is a question mark over Swidders. The guys gritty past performances have made him a bit of a folk hero at Lakeside but he didn't really seem his old self to me. Not sure about the reserves either, but it's difficult to tell when they were against AJ and Awesome Lawson. We'll find out on Friday.

I thought Swidders looked good- He did make the top 4. Not bad for a chap on his low average. Can't wait to see how we get on come Friday.
