E I Addio Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Good to see Dave Watt getting god reception from the Lakeside fans on riders parade. Proves he still has a lot of support at Lakeside despite a small number of BSF critics. He rode pretty well as well, not quite his usual self but getting back on track. Still looks very stylish round Lakeside. Good for him. Lewi Kerr collected his second successive paid maximum . He has now improved to the point of looking a totally different rider to the one that joined the club last March. AJ was something else tonight. Absolutely phenomenal .

bornagainlion Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Tonight is a new low. Had enough !! Remember a 62-28 loss to Glasgow in the first season back and that was painful so feel for anyone who travelled tonight. Dark times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hopefully a good away win tomorrow, what with having Craig Cook as a guest for Nilsson Why isn't Dennis Jonsson replacing Kim, I thought that's what #8's were for? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Fantastic from Richard Lawson love to see him doing well. Aaron has struggled EL so far but is in a disjointed team thats struggling with low morale. I hope the lions can turn things around and their riders show what they are capable of. Excuse my lack of knowledge but what can the lions do to strengthen? The 28 days is not the best way to deal with this issue seems unfair to club involved.

The Voice Of Reason Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Why isn't Dennis Jonsson replacing Kim, I thought that's what #8's were for?Because of the same reason Kev that we signed, then subsequently dumped Bjarne; and appointed Kelvin Tatum to be our motivational coach to improve our away form. In other words, Jon Cook appears to often enjoy making press releases that subsequently have the depth of a grain of sand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Leicester looked woefully weak at the start of the season and sadly that`s proved to be the case, troubled times ahead I`m afraid for the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueherb777 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I did not go because it was obviously going to be so one sided. Really do not know where Leicester go from here. And how many are going to turn up tonight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Not sure how many turned up but the crowd didn't look to great. Have to feel for Leicester fans I remember only to well what it was like for us under Ronnie Russell and it wasn't fun. Really hope things turn round for them.

E I Addio Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Tonight is a new low. Had enough !! Lakeside went down by about 70-20 or something at Poole a few years ago. Happens to most clubs sooner or later, but things come in cycles. Feel sorry for you guys but Lakeside also had a pretty grim year last year, losing half the home matches. It just the way things go sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Bad result all round. Another nail for the EL Lions and a result that won't have the Hammers fans in any rush to return. The scores need to be close down there to maintain any kind of interest due to the racing on offer. Fingers crossed for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Why isn't Dennis Jonsson replacing Kim, I thought that's what #8's were for? I believe the concept was that the likes of Dennis could step in to replace a missing 'second string' (hence the 4 point assessed average). Kim is averaging 8.38 around Arena this year so why replace him with a 4 pointer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRM Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Feel for Leicester, tough times. As other posters have mentioned this happens to all teams, but it really is a tough situation for them. I don't see where they can turn to in order to strengthen up, which is definitely required in order to keep the remaining fans. You can't blame fans for staying away in times like this, parting with your hard earned just to see your team lose is not going to keep people coming back. Having said that Leicester have been putting in some encouraging performances at home, which from reading the Leicester threads is keeping fans happy. Hope they find some viable solutions Good performance from the Hammers tonight. Some encouraging performances, mention to Eddie with a good score on his return Wolves up next, this will be the real test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim3751 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Lions certainly looked a weak outfit but something that has to be mentioned is the determnation of the Hammers to win every race no matter what. And you couldn't find a better example than AJ hitting the fence and dropping to the back then coming through to 2nd. Also throw in the fact that Edward Kennett wanted to prove his value to the team and Richard Lawson came back to form and it looked like Leicester came on the wrong night. Louis B is getting there and so is Lewis K and having seen LK at Peterboro it looks as though he can cope with both types of track. Perhaps someone in the know can tell me if Jawas are more difficult to sort/ride than GMs because AFAIK these two are a rarity. Are they works supported?

marko Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Crowd was down but plenty of good racing by the Hammers, I know Lions are not a huge draw but as some will no doubt stay away next Wednesday when the telly is in I though more would have taken the opportunity to come out and support the club.

B.V 72 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Tonight is a new low. Had enough !! Teams have good and bad times.My club B/vue had an 8 year bad run where 4th from bottom was our best finish and we collected 3 wooden spoons.Most of the fans stuck by the club and in part because they did we now have a decent team and a new stadium to ride in.In time things can only get better.So give it time and stand by your club its times like these that they need the fans more than ever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Crowd was down but plenty of good racing by the Hammers, I know Lions are not a huge draw but as some will no doubt stay away next Wednesday when the telly is in I though more would have taken the opportunity to come out and support the club. Several factors could have contributed. Poor opposition, people going away for the weekend, prospect of being anywhere near the Dartford Crossing/tunnel prior to a bank holiday weekend - there was yet again a problem for those travelling from Kent. With school half-term next week and the quality of the opposition there could be more attending Wednesday than you think.
