TonyE Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Having looked at the BBC weather time map I think there is a good chance of tonight's meeting being on provided the initial showers are not too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocha Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 No Zach for the remainder of the season following a crash at Swindon last night.: http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.2931 Get well soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 That's terrible news, gutted for Zach firstly as he looked a star this season. Not sure what this does for Lakeside apart from most probably mean less people through the turnstiles. He can't be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Rider replacement for the unlucky Zack tonight which will undoubtably cost us several points and possibly lose us the meeting,,surely a top guest could have been found, ..Some fans may decide not to attend and who could blame them,,But the weather may still be the deciding factor....

You couldn't have a guest for him as he isn't your number 1, however when the new averages come in at the end of the month he will then go to number 1 so then you will be able to get guests for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach is currently second in the Hammers' averages so RR is the only option. However he will go top from 1st August making a guest facility available..

marko Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Latest projections are for 80-90% chance of heavy rain between 7 and 9pm Sorry to hear about Zach, was always going to be a risk with him riding so much for different teams.

E I Addio Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Zach is currently second in the Hammers' averages so RR is the only option. However he will go top from 1st August making a guest facility available.. Second in the averages means three rides can be taken by Paul, Ben and Alfie. As long as Alfie's confidence has not been shot by his torrid time at Newcastle, that might be enough to get us through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies_Ste Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 This is Zach's 3rd season in speedway & the 3rd time he has not finished the season due to injury. Unlucky or what !! He is still very popular with Brummie fans & always will be. Get well soon Zach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevtheRev Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 So if it's rained off, then presumably it will be announced as a walk over for Birmingham - seeing as Lakeside have no dates left??? What a joke. They don't want to run more meetings as it will cost them money. As has been said time and time again. You're been lied to and taken for mugs Lakeside fans. Unfortunately you are not alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Zach will be a big loss to the team and I doubt that r/r will gather the same points. I think that the rule should be so that if a rider is injured while riding for a senior team ( as in this case), the N.L. team should have the choice of r/r OR Guest.

liam Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 What riders are available for Lakeside to sign as Zachs replacement? Or will it just be a case of choosing the best available guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Not being able to have a guest for a 10 + rider is ridiculous ,how are you going to in any way cover that with rider replacement when a second string and at least one of your 3 pointers will have to replace him .it could cost us around 4 to 6 points ,another joke decision killing speedway,,...my opinion any way.......Is Ellis Perks available to sign and would he want too ?....And i did not realise the new averages all ready issued ,did not take effect till 1st Aug.....

teaboy279 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Waco what are you on mate, you can only have a guest if 2 of your 1-5 are unavailable and this has been the case for sometime. Lakeside have had Thier share of rule manipulation this term signing Hurry on a rediculous average...you are not expecting more favours surely. Would not suprise me though if Laurence gets a bug today and is covered by rr, allowing a guest for ZW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Sorry Waco but that's the risk of running a top heavy team where a guest is only permitted for your top heat leader, said at the start of the season where I initially predicted Hammers as being around 8th was their vulnerability in keeping Ben and Zach fit and available for the duration.

waco Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 tea boy,I was going on the fact that the new averages were issued putting Zack at no 1 ,,did not realise at the time that they would not be effective for this meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
