  1. I think Mick said he needed 350 to break even and I wouldn't say they are a long way short of that, although there weren't so many there this week. The problem has been the dodgy weather forecasts, bearing in mind the majority of fans will have to travel. It rained last Sunday all the way through the match and rain was forecast again today, which happened half way through. I am sure that once the weather gets better the crowd will increase. Good question! Seems strange, although he did actually take Dugards ride in heat 11 (according to my programme anyway but perhaps I'm wrong) and came last so perhaps that's why he wasn't used for Brooks in heat 12.
  2. Don't you mean Green light? Bit worrying really if you think the red light means go when driving.
  3. I'd guess a little bit less. Well you and Tina Widman weren't able to be there for a start. Another dodgy weather forecast didn't help and although it didn't rain during the early heats it did later on. Great win for the Bees though and perhaps one Sunday we will be able to sit in the sunshine.
  4. Only cloudy so far no rain. Hopefully it will stay that way. Update weather dry and track dry..Score Bees 12 Eagles 12
  5. Only cloudy so far no rain. Hopefully it will stay that way.
  6. I hope there isn't going to be any resentment from some fans about Coventry using the track. I support both teams so am glad I don't have so far to travel now as driving gets more painful.
  7. Nothing is the answer. If you live in Leicester you will know that it started raining at 12.30pm and hasn't stopped since so it was a good decision to call this off early. The fact there was racing on the circuit yesterday makes no difference to the amount of rain that's fallen. It would still be soaking wet if the track had stood empty all day and you can't prepare it when it's chucking it down with rain.
  8. Yes it was going. Just turn up, there aren't usually many waiting.......if any.
  9. I don't think you will have to worry about the PL matches finishing that quick! It rained all the way through so the sensible thing to do was get a move on if the match was to be completed. Well done to all involved. If it had been a PL match we would have been waiting around in the rain to see if the riders were going to come out for the next race ~ an hour's delay to see if the rain would ease off ~ then home soaking wet after seeing 10 heats .........if we're lucky.
  10. About 350 I would guess, which considering the weather (rained all the way through) is pretty good and it will only get better once the sun starts shining and word gets around about how good the racing is. Really enjoyed it and all credit to the lads who got stuck in despite the rain and tricky track to produce some great racing which was on a par to any PL match I've been to.
  11. Rained all the way through this afternoon's NL match so the track was very tricky. Really don't need any more rain tonight or tomorrow if the meeting is to go ahead. Hopefully the forecast is wrong.
  12. Always loved his riding style since I first saw him at Coventry. Probably not the quickest but it sure does look good.
  13. Why not as there is zero chance of him promoting at Brandon again and like it or not he is the owner of Coventry Bees. He'd be a bit stupid to just lose out on the money he has paid for the riders. Chris Harris would probably go for a bag of chips and a beer after his comments. Avtar Sandhu made sure he got all of his assets.
  14. Which I suppose is quite surprising really as Manchester and the Lake District are usually ~ rightly or wrongly ~ areas that are perceived to get wet weather.
  15. After the long, horrible Winter we've had if this turns out to be true I have made a promise not to moan that it is too hot......ever again.
  16. LEICESTER ADMISSION PRICES. Adults (17 years & above): £17.00 Over 65s: £14.00 Students (Age 17-22 with a Student card): £14.00 Children (Age 5-16): £5.00 Under 5’s: FREE
  17. True. I can remember being at Ipswich on a Good Friday and it was boiling hot.
  18. Or perhaps it's just the fact that mostly these meetings are only once a month?
  19. I know someone else who has always had that opinion when Danny rode for the Bees. Not me by the way.
  20. Is this true because nothing in the latest news on the Leicester website? Still saying the World Champion is in town and I can't find anything anywhere saying he has been injured.
  21. Perhaps means one rider going round with no opposition so it's hard to judge how good they were?
  22. How can averages change just as the season is about to start?
  23. Let's wait until tomorrow and see if it's still on.
  24. That's worrying. Must have changed sex then because profile says Female aged 53. Mind you women do get a bit strange and stroppy when they reach their 50's.
