Crazy robin Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Would Lakeside be stronger with Kennett riding rather than Lawson.? Really surprised that Eddie did the deal with Lakeside as he isn't getting many rides for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shale Searcher Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Really surprised that Eddie did the deal with Lakeside as he isn't getting many rides for them. Could Eddie Kennett be loaned out to another EL team whilst he isn't getting any rides at Lakeside?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Could Eddie Kennett be loaned out to another EL team whilst he isn't getting any rides at Lakeside?? I assume Eddie could move on if another team wanted him or he must be on a good retainer deal at Lakeside, which would be a surprise.

A ORLOV Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 It seems that most of the road works on the A419 from J15 M4 for a couple of mile north of that junction. http://www.swindon.gov.uk/info/20031/roads_parking_and_transport/522/roadworks_closures_and_diversions Remember that they start at 8pm so will only effect journey home after the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Really surprised that Eddie did the deal with Lakeside as he isn't getting many rides for them. It was said at the Lakeside fans forum in February that Ed has 5 fixture clashes in the early part of the season and Rich Lawson would be taking all the rides until then, after that it would be decided on form. Not sure when Ed's fixture clashes are out of the way but woukd think it must be sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdakev Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 A419 Northbound stationary queuing traffic. Must be an accident. I know it is early but riders, helpers and some supporters like to get there early some to go for a meal. Maybe if you know anyone you can let them know. If I can any further information I will post but if your near there now or on your way home it might be advisable to avoid the A419 Northbound. Traffic still queuing. The road is partially blocked due to a motorcycle accident near the Rat Trap junction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Would Lakeside be stronger with Kennett riding rather than Lawson.? Was thinking that myself ..Lawson hopeless at Swindon as a rule ..the trouble is that he has some soft heats tonight so he might score ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I would've lost a lot of money on Nillson & Lawson being Lakesides top 2 points scorers tonight. How good is it to have a No 1 who can win races😀. A good result & well done to all the boys & hope Stefan's bad luck is due to change. Fair play to Rosco giving him 4 rides as it would've been easy to give Rohan one of his rides. Edited May 5, 2016 by Crazy robin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remembertheracers Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Good meeting, Jason Doyle superb. Found a half decent route to J16 of theM4 for the journey home. Also well done to Swindon and the ref for keeping the meeting moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Enjoyable night ..nice weather a decent crowd and some good racing ....fair play to lakeside who put up a good fight . Doyle done what I thought he would do most this season scoring a max without seeing another rider . felt sorry for Aj from the outside it like he was poor but the guy put in 100 % effort but just could not get out the gate all night . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 LAKESIDE HAMMERS PRESS RELEASE :::::::::::::::::: LAKESIDE put up another brave fight on their travels before eventually slipping to a 50-40 defeat against Swindon at the Abbey. The Vortex Hammers battled valiantly throughout and were always in the mix against the Robins before eventually leaving Wiltshire empty handed. It was a disappointing result for the Purfleet outfit as they gained no reward to show for their determined efforts – but coach Kelvin Tatum was once again encouraged by what he saw from his side. Said Tatum: “We are a little frustrated in truth, because we competed very strongly and we’ve done that on a few occasions without picking up any points. “I’m sure if we continue to do that then we’ll start to get our rewards, but right now it feels a little frustrating because we got within two and then it just slipped away from us. “I’m encouraged by the fact that we have a team that come and race hard wherever they ride, and we’ll be looking to bounce back when we take on Coventry home and away in a couple of weeks.” After a nip-and-tuck start, the Hammers found themselves eight behind and on the back foot after a second consecutive Swindon 5-1 in heat six. They fought back with Richard Lawson and Lewis Kerr bringing them within two with a maximum of their own in heat nine. However, the hosts came on strong in the closing stages, with Grand Prix star Jason Doyle striking a faultless 15-point maximum to see them over the line. Swedish ace Kim Nilsson top scored for the Hammers with a classy display, whilst Richard Lawson bagged paid nine to join him in heat 15. Reserve duo Robert Mear and Lewis Kerr also put in encouraging displays, but No.1 Andreas Jonsson endured a rare off night as he failed to record a race win. With Piotr Swiderski also struggling and Lewis Bridger earning little reward for his battling efforts, they were unable to add to their Elite League points tally. The Arena-Essex Raceway side nonetheless remain top of the Elite League table after an action-packed two days. They will now face a break of just over a fortnight before travelling to Coventry on Friday, May 20 then hosting the Bees the very next night. SWINDON 50: Jason Doyle 15, Rohan Tungate 10, Nick Morris 8+1, Justin Sedgmen 7, Josh Grajczonek 6+2, Charles Wright 3+1, Stefan Nielsen 1. LAKESIDE 40: Kim Nilsson 11+1, Richard Lawson 8+1, Robert Mear 6, Andreas Jonsson 5, Lewis Kerr 4+2, Lewis Bridger 3, Piotr Swiderski 3. Elite League points: Swindon 3 Lakeside 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Good meeting and some good action from the robins, especially heat 10 with Nick and Josh getting past AJ at the same time. Brilliant max from Jason. Charles started ok but then had bike trouble, a few were testing and looking at his bike after the meeting. Stefan had bad luck in heat 12 when running a 5-1 with Rohan, with Stefan suffering a blown engine. Kim Nilsson was the main opposition for Lakeside Swindon move up the league to 4th position but equal 2nd on points with Poole and Wolves.

Sidney the robin Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Credit to Lakeside they really stuck to there guns and put up a real fight Nilsson went well and Mear battled very hard.Still not convinced with this Swindon side,it might sneak in the top four but win it no chance also why didn't Rohan get an extra ride.?

van wolfswinkel Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) Joint 2nd. now for The Roobins...this Doyley bloke can be the next Leigh Adams, should walk the Elite Riders league and can go one better than Leigh did in GPs. Was untouchable last night. Average meeting, average crowd. Why when you put on 2 layers at home you get to The Stade and need an extra 3! Good tribute to Lee Richardson, almost 4 years since his tragic death, fitting tribute with the road named after him on Blunsdon Mead development. Robins by 10 Spot on son 10 - 12 point win for the Robins for me. Only AJ to ruffle the birds feathers tonight. Nearly, AJ couldn't ruffle his own hair tonight. Lawson and Nilsson pretty good, Swiderski awful apart from 1 heat. Edited May 6, 2016 by Downsman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
