E I Addio Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) So will the track prep be overseen by Mr Russell on behalf of Sky, allowing Gerald Richter to be at Poole?! ;-)Please no. Don't even joke about it. We've seen what Russell can do with the Lakeside track. Not sure if Sky will want Kelvin commentating or whether they will get a guest commentator in and let Kelvin do his George Martin role in the pits. Lakeside will be wrong footed with no Gerald and no Kelvin. Jon Cook will be a reasonable TM if Kelvin is commentating but Big Ron overseeing the track prep doesn't bear thinking about.

marko Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah I don't want big Ron anywhere near our track thank you very much, weather will be nice today so that is one favorable thing, a few Lakeside riders notably Lewis Bridger has probably not raced for a couple of weeks, at least Robert had a grass track meet on Monday to keep his eye sort of it.

That's true, but sometimes in the past that have had people like Sam Ermolenko ans Chris Louis sitting in so it's possible they might tonight, but certainly it's been made clear that Kelvins media work comes first in the event of a fixture clash.

Daniel Smith Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 will be interesting if Kelv can remain impartial or will he have a phone to the referee under the monitor. During adverts give the referee a blasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Kelvin will be with sky but I wouldn't worry, with all the ad breaks etc plenty of chance for him to pop down to the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 No weather issues, however, getting moisture in and getting it to stay in can be problematic with this sort of weather set-up... Warm by day - evaporation Cool by evening - sucks moisture to the surface A very happy medium is a tough ask.. No flooding, little and often the way to go...

jimmy jimmy Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) think Lakeside will give us a bit of a going over this evening, unless Cookie takes an instant like to the track, which i doubt, 53-39 or something like that Edited May 4, 2016 by jimmy jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Coventry are definitely going to need that on Monday as it looks like being the worse ever attendance for a Bees match. :neutral I'd definitely agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 2.30pm here where I am in a Dartford postcode (DA8) and has been fine, bright, sunny and warm all day up to now and Mat Office tell us it's going to stay that way so no weather problems for tonight's match it seems. Do as I'm about to do (if you live within travelling distance of the stadium that is), set the record button on Sky and head over to enjoy the meeting live and chat between heats to like minded (even if they don't support your team!) Speedway fans! BRYN PS: Pity AS can't be there but you'll be back soon mate!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks Orion. Sky take the piss taking an ad break when Heat 3 could have been re-run immediately. Makes me laugh when they say riders have to go back to the pit gate for clutches to be cooled and refuelling when they havent even completed a lap!!

mdmc82 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Sky must be wondering why they bother with EL speedway. Wait until they are at Coventry v Wolves next week. It's going to be so one sided with our dreadful bees team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
