I thought the old 12 heat rule was fair at least you get better value 10 heats for 18 quid is a rip off. Can't believe i actually went knowing it would be a crap meeting or rained off. i think i need to see a doctor!!

We had a slight chance with Russia in the mix but not now, its like a straight match between us and Poland and they have better riders.

Russia turning up with 3 riders is like England turning up with 10 players for a football match.

The same sentiment could be levelled at Nicholls, why doesn't Scotty ride in the SWC. You shouldn't need paying to ride for your country.

So if i backed Russia and with the Laguta brothers it was not impossible for them to have a chance then would i get my money back from the bookies? I haven't of course because my patriotism doesn't allow but i bet some have.

You say league points should be adjusted for only doing 10 heats which i can see the logic in but how is it these points are only raised when Poole are involved?

Over many years on this forum a lot of us including me have tried to have a reasonable discussion with the voice of no reason but he always resorts to trying to make out he is of a higher intellect and trying to gain kudos by trying to make out us mere mortals are stupid and trying make out he knows more than the rest of us when in truth he doesn't which is why he harps on about facts but doesn't actually give any of his own and can't even spell, what's headgrear!!

They must do its a free to air channel, comes with every modern tv

Hook,line and sinker springs to mind!!

Poland will win this fairly easily i expect, all their riders that are in the race off are in top form i suggest back Poland with Ladbrokes at 7/2 now for the outright win, they are the only team that can challenge Denmark.

Its the only meeting at Coventry that i have been to that they haven't sold out!! usually its a re printed insert that cost 50p and thats a rip off at that price. Still not as bad as the SWC at 5.00 per programme.

Disagree there, Danny King didn't fail,rode extremely well and after Tai and Harris is our next best rider, his race with Morris was terrific and Morris was on fire on monday. lambert was unlucky and Morris could have been excluded so with a bit of luck we would already be in the final.

From what i understand Coventry usually have big crowds compared to many other teams so shouldn't be difficult to get it back especially considering you will be in the play offs when it will be packed as long as it doesn't rain! I think he only responded in bold font to differentiate between your remarks and his answers but you just carry on making cheap points when you most likely also know nothing of Coventry's costs either. I

Bucko as i call him is having a terrific season so should go well on thursday and maybe Piotr Pawlicki back for the final as i cannot see anyone beating Poland.

You can't help but defend him, he may be boring at times but that is generally because he is a fantastic gater, personally i like him such a gentleman.Much rather he won than dirty Nicki although Pedersen is definately a rider that puts bums on seats.

Cracking meeting i thought with some terrific battles notably king and morris, morris was excellent and maybe was the difference, lambert should have won a race and in my opinion morris could easily got excluded if lambert had gone down. Lambert a bit unlucky to touch the tapes which turned the match and if bomber had let batch win could of had a tac ride but overall beaten by a better team

Coventry could have called it off too but they would have lost the sky money so they didnt want to and made every effort to get the meeting on.If they had won would they be wanting it re-staged? They knew the turnout would be low, they could have reduced the price but chose not to.

Surely with it being on tv they will demand it starts on time and continues regardless of the conditions!!

I think we have a great chance to win this one, Tai is the best rider on show and if Hancock and a couple of Latvians get in the mix then it could come down to who gets the lucky breaks. We definately need our gating boots on. What i can predict is that if a opposing rider slides off while leading there will be a cheer, it won't be liked by some on here but it will happen.

It is ridiculous to moan about it after the event, Sky can't make you run a meeting if it is unsafe to race, he could have made the track unraceable if he was that worried, dug a hole somewhere, it has been done before or got the hosepipe out.

Disagree there, cheaper prices would have encouraged more to go as if it was a tenner then that is still reasonable value even if it only goes to heat 10. If he knew it would only last until heat 10 and was going to lose money why didn't he cancel it, it had been forecast for the weather to be bad for ages.

I have already said i agree with Holder the meeting shouldnt have started as it was raining and more rain forecast

Surely any investigation would have to include the opinion of Watt and Holder and Harris who by their actions thought that the track was raceable in heat 10,

A meeting isn't going to be stopped prior to the start of heat 10 if heat nine has been completed unless there is a monsoon and while the rain was getting worse it did seem that this was mainly the decision of the manager. Considering the accident Holder had previously at the track you would think he would be the one to object if he thought it was dangerous.

And a great ride in heat 6 to beat Magic.
