Lakeside V Belle Vue Friday 5th May

[TurnTwo]

I disagree with Waco there was 350 people max from what I saw - good meeting though Bewley score didn't reflect his efforts very good rider on a track he's never seen before only Morelos track craft and knowledge of where to pass made it easier for him - never the less a faultless max - well deserved

Crowd was like that in the Ronnie Russell days when we got hammered every single week. Thought the meeting was ok but Ben and Zach were far to good for the Belle Vue heat leaders. Think Zach is going to be a star in the future. Bit worried about Hunter he seems to come off the throttle half way down the straight and from the start is at least three bike lengths away. Still enjoying much more than I thought.

Well done Lakeside,

 

Perhaps Belle Vue will not be as dominant as a lot of us we thought.

The video clip from the Eastbourne meeting cannot be used to gauge overall crowd levels given the camera position on the home straight next to the referee's box. A lot of people stand on that side (it is the main covered area) and, thus, have no hope of being captured on video. As ever at Arena, the 'crowd' is well spread out unlike Wolves etc.

350 its going up from 250 as previously stated ,The crowd at Lakeside is spread right round the track plus the upstairs bar and appears less than it actually is,..George Hunter was a better rider round Rye last season and his form is a worry at the moment, Can not gate and he opened the throttle only once on friday and took two riders out ,,one his partner going in to the corner,,luckily no one was hurt...............
