matertron Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 A very rare evening at the Arena Essex Raceway. One that should not be used as an assessment of a night out watching the Hammers. Very Rarely do we have to replace airbags (in the main meeting) In fact I can only recall a few occasions in the past few seasons Very Rarely do we require the ambulance on circuit and a lengthy medical delay (in the main meeting) And very rarely do we get so many incidents in one evening. Delays like that happen regularly in speedway its the nature of Motorsport. And as a marshal at many road racing circuits such as Brands Hatch, I can tell you the amount of times we have hour plus delays for medical attention or barrier repairs. Don't recall seeing fans moaning about the delays there. All in all in my opinion it was another good meeting at the raceway and still enjoyable despite the delays. On another note great to see Alfie Bowtell getting the points he has deserved from his efforts the past few meetings. Love the noise from the crowd when he followed Ben home for the 5-1 in heat 2.

Jon was hoping for a bumper crowd next Saturday, I think that's just gone for a burton, a lot of people were not happy, over two and half hours to run 15 races is a joke. Like I said in the early meetings, this is a very good team but the club make no effort with the race night experience. Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying the music Marko. I have been trying to mix it up to cater for all ages/tastes and I play songs that I know work whilst trialling out different songs. I'm sure you would have heard a few last night. Plus, I did have to play an extra hours worth of songs last night to fill the gaps. Also I'm not sure if anyone is aware but I do both the music and the announcing so sometimes I don't have the time to carefully select a song and have to go with the first thing I can. However any feedback/suggestions are most welcome, I shall take your comments on board for the next meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I am sure you are doing your best. We all have our own particular preferences re music and, personally, I try to shut it out if I don't like it (provided it is not played too loud). The roving microphone is having intermittent problems this year and, hopefully, these will be sorted out soon. I, for one, appreciate it is not easy to have to fill long unplanned for periods of time. On a different front, good to hear Kyle has not broken anything and his time out will not be too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I don’t have an issue with the type of music being played, although Queens bohemian rapsidy isn’t really a song with a tempo fit for a sport like speedway but I digress, just the fact we hear almost exactly the same songs every meeting, it’s just lazy really.

liam Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Does it really matter what songs are being played? Personally I couldn’t care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Looks like Kyle Newman has escaped any broken bones and will be back sooner rather than later. http://www.lakesidehammers.co/kyle-update/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
