Goldhawk 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. Someone I know was there the other Sunday and tackled Jon Cook at 3.30pm why there was a delay ? He said rider delayed , the fan said maybe should leave a bit earlier ?? Within his reply Cook allegedly said it could be their last meeting , one wonders if the make the end of season ?

marko Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Same old Lakeside Liam, half hour gone and only run three heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Same old Lakeside Liam, half hour gone and only run three heats.That was because of a bad crash involving Morley who was down for a very long time.

Islander15 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) 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. It was more than manipulation :/ Edited July 28, 2017 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUFC_Brummie Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 God I hate Lakeside, awful. Meeting was over after heat 2 when Hampshire threw it into the fence on bend 2 having been well ahead, his bike then proceeding to be a smokey pile of garbage for the rest of the night as a consequence from the looks of it. A couple of horrendous jump starts called on Carr and Bacon yet again (although Carr did legitimately jump one, but still came from 3rd to 1st) didn't help our cause, but Hurry and Morley in particular were outstanding for the Hammers and the 15 point gap no surprise. On the plus side I had a pleasant evening standing with a Lakeside fan by the start line who was a very nice gentleman, and despite the fact I won't be home until 1am I do get a lie in tomorrow, but other than that I am thoroughly glad to see the back of Lakeside for another year!

cityrebel Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not the best meeting at lakeside this season, but there were a few decent races. The crowd was poor again tonight, no doubt the dodgy weather didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Not enough dates to compete in this seasons ko cup, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've not seen anything official saying we've withdrawn from the cup, only comments on here. Where has this come from? Granted, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it is true. Regarding last night's match, I quite enjoyed it. There were some really entertaining races and everybody gave their all. Given the threatening weather I was glad we got through all 15 heats. The Hammers coped okay with the loss of Zach, but it's going to need a better fix than r/r for the important matches coming up, especially away from home.

waco Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Good team effort from the Lakeside lads,,though it has to be said the Brummies threw away a few points on the first bend..,.0ne of the best races of the season with Hurry and Parkinson Blackburn,re-passing several times ,Pauls track knowledge just having the edge,, One or two other decent races but many were well spread out and that is the problem with this league a huge difference in the class of the top riders and those at the lower end of teams ,but they all have to learn some where.i suppose,,...Despite the score line Zack was missed R/R,producing way less points than Zack would have scored....A brave move to hold this meeting with very bad weather reports certainly paid off,for Lakeside-Paul and Ben looking a class apart at home....But to their credit the Brummies battled hard all night on a track few had seen before....

Bryce Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Fair enough. You'd think it might have been mentioned in the match programme at Lakeside, which last night still listed the KOC match as TBA. I notice also that Jon Cook has stopped writing for the programme, and hasn't given his customary end of match comments over the tannoy the last couple of matches. Is he on holiday, or just can't be bothered anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinks that's a fair comment. Brum are a pretty good side though, with mist of them chipping in with some points on a track most were unfamiliar with. I thought Jack Parkinson Blackburn was a massive talent. He couldn't match the home track experience of Morely and Hurry but to ride like a genuine No1 on an away track at only 16 years old was really outstanding, so well done to him. Liam Carr and Tom Bacon looked very stylish but couldn't find consistency. Nice to watch though. Conor Locke has improved massively since joining Lakeside, but has reached the stage where his determination is outstripping his ability. With more experience he will make the 1-5 by next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
