The Voice Of Reason Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 What happens if nobody turns up to 'impress' for this marvellous, career opportunity? Do Lakeside continue with a 6 man team......or do they call the local job centre? Sorry but this smacks of utter desperation; not to mention unprofessionalism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) From what I know There a few already booked in with some experience of nl racing we are coming all the way fromGlasgow for it we would have maybe liked to get a run out the week before but don't know if they are allowed on track for practice Pretty sure Edinburgh did this last year also and now we got Dan Bewley from it and look what he turned out to be Edited March 21, 2017 by mac101 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Could be a competitive try out then if Mac is down plus I'd expect Saul, bowdrey, Parker and possibly cousins to be in attendance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waco Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Cousins would be my pick of that lot,has some experience goes reasonable well round Rye so could suit Lakeside ..However you never know they might un earth a little gem on the day....

It's a smart move if anything, rather than plumping for a rider that the promotion aren't sure on they're giving riders a chance to impress around their track. They might find a prospect that could otherwise have gone under the radar. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Can't see what the problem is to be honest, I would guess they have a few riders in mind but why not invite as many riders as possible to see if they can find someone better. Good luck to all the riders who do go it's a great opportunity. Hopefully they unearth a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Can't see what the problem is to be honest, I would guess they have a few riders in mind but why not invite as many riders as possible to see if they can find someone better. Good luck to all the riders who do go it's a great opportunity. Hopefully they unearth a gem. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. We will soon find out. It's just that it seems uncomfortable to me to have two three pointers at reserve with not much of a record to work on. It doesn't seem a balanced team at at all to me on paper , although as we all know, Speedwáy matches are not won on paper so I'll wait and see , and hope that those who say NL racing is exciting will be proved correct.

teaboy279 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 With Ben and Zach in heats 13 and 15 teams will need a lead against the hammers to get anything from meetings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Of all the riders mentioned, i'd say Robert Parker is the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliv Clav Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 To a point Tony but if you go back to the early 90's where Terry Russell would often talk about the "Eastbourne trickery" then that's what i am pertaining too and back then they were in my opinion just as bad if not worse than Poole's attempts at win at all costs in recent timesThis was very much the Dugard's doing. Watch the 1995 cup clash between the Hammers & Eastbourne, where Bob Dugard is the instigator of the shenanigans and bad feelings off track, and Martin does the same on track. Jon Cook just stands back, quietly filling in his programme. I love the idea of having an audition or trial for the last team spot. It means we get to see lots of riders, unknown to us, in action and if we have to make changes or injuries occur, we have a bit of knowledge to make decisions in the future.
