Lakeside 2017

[NickRushbrook]

Thought I'd start this as it's usually February before there is anything on the leagues most 'unfashionable' team!

 

Would like to see a very new look team simply to freshen things up.

 

Whilst I enjoy watching Lewis Bridger, I think it best for him to do a season in the PL (if his cma allows). Perhaps somewhere like Peterborough.

 

I would retain Lewis Kerr as I think he was just starting to come good.

 

AJ very welcome and one of Kim, Ed or Rich.

 

Would like a decent trump card from abroad but then, so would everyone!

[HAMMER180]

I don't think aj will be back not next year anyway so I would keep kim and ed

and possibly rich (not a great season but can do better) we need two new heat leaders

freshen things up a bit, big hitters if budget will allow. then reserves suppose down to the pick

again and we wont have first pick this time as no wooden spoon. then if no Richard maybe

scott Nichols 5 odd average might come into play?

[liam]

I can't see why AJ wouldn't be back he won't be in GP's. I would keep Bridger if he can get a Premier league club or a ride abroad as he needs more meetings. I would also keep Kennett and get Nicholls then try and get another good heat leader who can do the business away from home. Don't have a clue about the reserves.

May be Coventry want him?

Iam sure every club would want him but he's turned them all down in the past to stay with Lakeside, he seems to have a good relationship with Douglas. Maybe he will fancy a change next season but I hope not.

Difficult to comment until the issue of Polish authorities forbidding riders to ride in no more two countries is sorted out.

 

Wouldn't mind Scott Nicholls at Arena - he isn't/doesn't look - comfortable at NSS and it would mean less of a trek to his home meetings.

[cityrebel]

Just coming to the tapes at the start of a new season is an achievement for the hammers, with the threat of redevelopment hanging over arena essex.

[Loyal hammer]

I hope both AJ and Kim return. I'd like to see Adam Ellis come back into the fold too.

[Crazy robin]

You really think Adam will be anywhere else apart from Poole regardless of him being a Lakeside asset??

[Daytripper]

May be Coventry want him?

Not Coventry. Someone else perhaps.

Only if they buy him.

[Crazy robin]

Only if they buy him.

Ford proved with Miedzinski that they don't need to buy a rider to get him in their team over their parent club.

 

Ellis will be at Poole if Ford wants him & on loan if that's what he wants.

Scotty would be a great signing for the Hammers. He's mentioned previously his struggles with finding the speed/set up needed round the NSS, & did so again last night in the post match rider interviews on the centre green.

 

That said, he's been a brilliant racer & captain for the Aces, really good interacting with the fans too - just wish we'd signed him as a joint spearhead with Crumpy when he was a bit younger! Always gives 100% whether scoring 4 or 14, can't praise him enough.

[Game On]

He's never turned Coventry down as they have never asked him.

More fool them then!

[poolebolton]

This is a very crazy team but i would like to see.

 

1.AJ=8.45

2. Davey Watt=5.40

3. Scotty N =6.59

4. A.Ellis=5.60

5. Josh Grajczonek=5.95

6.Kacper Woryna= 4.61

7. Paul Starke=4.94

[Col]

Jonsson, Kennett, Lawson, Nicholls, Nilsson.

 

How does that do average wise? Get Bridger to get a PL average (12 meetings?) then sub him in as an ELDR, Poole would do it.

2. Davey Watt=5.40

 

Good riddance to that tripe don't bring him back

Yeah we dont want Watty back. He should just ride PL now for the last couple of years of his career.

 

Nicholls would be fine for a year. We need riders who are good away from home thats been our problem for years.

Where are all the Lakeside fans on this forum?

 

2 pages worth of talk so far and you have to add on another 50 to where Poole 2017 is at the moment.

 

Ok I will add some input on what I think Lakeside should be doing.

 

First riders they should sign are Adam Ellis and Paul Starke. Both were magnificent when Poole registered their only defeat and will give Lakeside good away options also if they swap them at 2 and 6. Ellis is an asset and doubt Leicester will ride Elite League.

 

Than obviously Andreas Jonsson and possible Edward Kennett being the spine of the team so it may look something like:

 

1) A Jonsson

2) A Ellis

3) E Kennett

4) Swiderski/Schlein?

5) R Lawson

6) P Starke

7) J Auty?

 

Looks solid enough but perhaps unlikely to be the team and maybe Lakeside will want to use last years No 8 Dennis Jonsson was it? Another question is will Lewis Bridger be there instead of Ellis or someone else?

[Sings4Speedway]

Much will depend upon the structure of teams, points limits & can double uppers continue?

If not then i suspect no Kennett in the EL next season.

Asset or not i can't see Ellis leaving Poole

Ditto Starke & Somerset who are also a Friday night track

Lawson is a must on his average. Strong rumours linking Nicholls & Lakeside?

 

At a guess

 

Jonsson - 8.45

Lawson - 5.74

Nilson - 6.88

Bech - 6.26

Nicholls - 6.59

Branford - 3.00

Morley - 3.00

 

Total 39.92

Dennis Jonsson has retired after nasty back injuries, Ellis wants to stay at Poole.
