  1. About as much chance as Coventry having a track next year I'd say.
  2. Don't expect me to remember anything from a few weeks ago when I even have a job to remember what I've gone upstairs for only a minute or so before. My brain sends me places and then leaves me in the lurch. Very inconvenient. Sorry you're having to miss the match at Leicester. On paper it should be a win for the Wolves but we'll see.
  3. You'll have a long wait if you're expecting Steve to say anything complimentary about the Bees. Anyway, lets see how Wolves get on this week. Are you going Steve?
  4. Dave Watters wasn't doing too bad at taking over top spot from them at Coventry on Sunday.
  5. Says it all really and more than likely what is going to happen at every match for Coventry. Good win for the Lions though to send their fans home happy and I'm looking forward to the next match to see them do the same to Wolves. I still can't find my way to the damn place without going wrong so I'll use my sat nav on Saturday.
  6. Maybe not but at least he looks like scoring well for the Storm after the blow of losing top rider Martin Knuckey for the season. There are plenty of riders who are not exactly British prospects.
  7. Can Lucy have a bite at his legs before this goes ahead please because he's insulted her many times.
  8. He also had a very heavy crash last time he was there.
  9. By the way I was just giving a reason why people stay at home from talking to fans that do. I don't have Sky myself so it doesn't affect me but if I did I would still go to the match and then watch it back later to see all the things I'd missed.
  10. Would you care to explain why? Is it because of a weaker team this season, favourite riders moving on, increased admission or another reason? It's a shame people have stopped going as the youngsters need our support but there seemed to be more Birmingham fans than Storm ones today.
  11. I can't keep up with this. Hope that's the final change now so I can print my programme correctly tomorrow.
  12. I think your forecast of 'knocking it on the head' is right judging by the latest Storm badge. After 2015 I was surprised they ran this season anyway but it's a real shame they don't get better support ~ not surprising though as Coventry fans, like most others, like to see a winning team and this one has been pretty weak all year. Even the racing was not so good today and there seemed to be some strange refereeing decisions. I do have a new favourite rider though ~ Danyon Hume whoever he is. Never heard of him before but his style seemed similar to Chris Harris so that's good enough for me.
  13. Because when people have paid out for Sky they seem to be reluctant to pay again to watch the match when they can save £17/£18, plus petrol money and programme (if they buy one) by sitting at home in comfort.
  14. Says Stefan Nielsen. LEICESTER (from): Josh Auty, Nicolai Klindt, Patrick Hougaard, Ludvig Lindgren, Paul Starke, Aaron Summers, Szymon Wozniak. BUILDBASE BEES (from): Jason Garrity, Chris Harris, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Danny King, Stefan Nielsen, James Sarjeant, Kacper Woryna.
  15. I'm more upset by the fact that I make friends and talk to a lot of people at Leicester and Coventry and one of them could be you. I got into a conversation last time with 2 men next to me at the Lions v Belle Vue match and then thought I'm going to have to stop doing this as it could be Robert72. I think I can rely on Lucy's sixth sense though as I'm sure she'll be able to sniff you out now I've trained her.
  16. That's a relief because me and the dog are going. A new permutation of the old saying 'One man and his dog' being on the almost empty terraces.
  17. I wonder what will happen if the sun is shining? Will they forget all about sun breaks this time? I agree with flagrag anyway. It's just made things worse by starting at 6.30pm. If they were going ahead with the match it should have been at the normal start time to give everyone the chance to get there if they wanted to. Now he's made it too difficult for the majority of Coventry fans to travel so the attendance will be even worse.
  18. Oh for heaven's sake! Just when we get going someone else gets injured.
  19. It's a sign of desperation when you have to like your own post because no-one else does.
  20. Thank you very much. That made the chore of doing my ironing a lot easier.
  21. What I meant was it's been done before by David. Leicester, Poole, Belle Vue have all previously stopped matches going ahead.
  22. Why does it do nothing for Coventry? If his signing will help us win a few matches instead of keep losing of course it's going to do something.......hopefully. Judging by your other comments I'm a bit worried though.
  23. The Mercury making a mistake? Never! I only get it second hand and skim through it but usually notice quite a few errors. The last one I remember was a big article about former Leicester rider Johnny Carpenter who recently died aged 90. The caption on the photo said he was fourth from the right when it actually wasn't him. Don't they have proof readers these days or check any articles before printing. They shouldn't get something like that wrong.
  24. Oooops! What happens now? The sun break might be necessary but why not do the sensible thing and have a start time of 8pm instead of 7.30pm? We went to the Coventry match last season and the match didn't start for 40 minutes waiting for the sun to go down. Probably getting grumpy in my old age but I wouldn't bother going again. I don't know which PL match Sky are filming but I should think the Leicester v Coventry match would be a good prospect. That's if it's on of course, although no word yet of it being postponed. I suppose that's the nearest we're going to get to a compliment. Presume you're not going to mention K.K then?
  25. Do the BSPA have to be involved or can it be re-arranged between the two teams promoters if everyone agrees? I know David changed a fixture when Leicester City had a match.
