  1. I don't know why they changed their minds either. We knew dogs weren't allowed in the stadium but as they were shattered from running around all afternoon they would be quite happy to go to sleep in the car, which they've done many times before. We paid the fee and the 2 stewards made a fuss of them, but then got stopped at the next Fort Knox base and told we weren't allowed to park the car with them in but could go to a lay by up the road. No way were we going to leave them somewhere out of sight. Anyway all irrelevant now because how things are these days with dogs being stolen I'd never leave them in a car with the windows open even though the alarm would be on.
  2. More specifically perhaps donate any spare cash to the development of a new stadium for Coventry.......probably Swindon too. Personally any spare money I have always goes to abused dogs and I have never given any to Darcy Ward either, but each to their own.
  3. Unfortunately that's not true. Dogs aren't even allowed to be in the car park now let alone enter the stadium. Used to love our trips to Swindon, staying in a Travel Lodge for a couple of days. Cotswolds Wildlife Park on Wednesday , up to the top of the Uffington White Horse on Thursday to wear the dogs out before Speedway. No more.
  4. I've always liked Seb Ulamek and I'd be happy to see him riding for Coventry. I reckon he's going to be a good signing for the Lions.
  5. Perhaps there is hope after all then? A Garden Centre eventually gets planning permission for a.....Garden Centre. A Motor Sports Stadium continues as a Motor Sports Stadium? Well, I can live in hope.
  6. Perhaps he's a bit more fussy what he bothers to write about.
  7. He's not been on here very long and probably hasn't got a very high post total yet because let's face it what is there to comment about on Leicester at the moment anyway. Definitely not Robert72 ~ there's only one of him thank goodness.
  8. Would be nice if it was true but I doubt it.
  9. I wouldn't have thought Hans would be a very popular choice.
  10. Obviously Coventry must have used the 'Birds and Bees' method of choosing years ago and opted for the insect. I wonder why they came up with the Bees?
  11. Is it definite that Rory hasn't been out on a bike yet? Just wondering if he could perhaps have already had a spin round Coventry's track being as he doesn't live far away?
  12. Me neither. I gave up on Sky Sports a couple of years ago but was able to watch Eurosport last year as I have Virgin Media. I'm not interested in any other sport so that's it now ~ the only Speedway I'll see will be live at Coventry, Peterborough or Leicester. Suits me as it's never the same watching on T.V.
  13. Yes, I would imagine Jason Doyle wouldn't be too keen. Who says they want to? It was only an idea put forward by DH himself I believe. And where has it been officially said that Coventry would object to Leicester riding on Friday's? All I've ever seen is supposition on here which means nothing. Personally I think it would be a bad idea for them to both ride on the same night as quite a lot of fans go to Coventry as well as Leicester so their support would be lost.
  14. I've been to Peterborough loads of times and never seen any. There used to be quite a lot at Coventry in 2014 as I think the Greyhounds used to be walked around the top of the terraces, or left to their own devices, but they seem to have cleaned their act up last year. Used to annoy me because most people know I always have Lucy with me and I didn't want anyone to think it was her.
  15. I don't see why not as dogs are welcome at Peterborough. Molly is always very impressed whenever she goes. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153948747132785&set=pb.550797784.-2207520000.1453490423.&type=3&theater
  16. Yes ~ two matches that's all I saw, unless I need my eyes testing and you are seeing a full fixture list.
  17. I can't even see any home matches on the official website except for the first two against Sheffield. Where is everyone getting the 'full' fixture list from?
  18. Do you really think the average supporter would be willing to even pay £20, let alone £25? Speedway is already too expensive so loads more would be lost to the sport. Getting the top riders back here is not the answer because for every fan that wants to see them there is another who isn't bothered who rides as long as the racing is entertaining. I fall into the latter category.
  19. Would racing on Friday's really have made that much difference to someone like Doyle for instance? Although Chris Harris has often given up the GP practice to ride for the Bees I doubt if many riders would be willing to do this. So what top rider/s do you think would sign for the Lions this season if they changed to Friday's?
  20. It's going to be quite a small secret group then? I'm wondering if DH was threatened with Dave Darcy pulling out if the track wasn't altered as he doesn't seem to be the type of person to ever back down about anything, least of all admitting he got the shape wrong by changing it.
