Judging by the Darcy Ward thread I think it might be a quick visit.

Okay I'll ask because I don't really understand decimals. How many more to make it 6? Is it .47? If so that sounds pretty near 6 to me.

Even I can work that out but as you seem to like being awkward....... This bit.... The problem is that Swindon is a growing 'new' town because it's along the M4 corridor, generally has good employment prospects and is semi-affordable by the standards of the South(-East) of England (along Swindon is technically in the South-West. There's also the fact that ramshackle old sports stadiums are relatively cheaper and more desirable to redevelop than other sites, plus in Toryshire they generally don't want/care about speedway as a general rule. In parts of the country though, there are indeed a huge number of empty and derelict houses. Unfortunately there's also poor employment prospects as well.

Chris is still one of my favourite riders and I love watching him ride at Coventry but not in the G.P's and I wish he'd just bow out gracefully. Still it won't bother me next season anyway because I won't be able to watch them now they've moved from Eurosport. Prefer your lot personally. You're welcome to him.

Well, in that case can someone please tell him that he won't.

The Magic Roundabout must be fun at rush hour.

Perhaps they're laying on a private plane for him. Anyway, I'm sure he's not bothered about paying for a bit of petrol when he's keen to stay in the G.P's where he must be losing loads of money. A few gallons of petrol is peanuts. Oh for heaven's sake there are some depressing fans on here. I think I'll give up for the Winter before I get suicidal tendencies.

No, it's just some Coventry fans being rather silly but then it is 'Silly Season' so can be expected I suppose. Are you trying to wind me up? No, we won't be genuinely hoping for KK's return or Bridger to be tempted out of retirement. I'm sure Chris will be riding for the Bees but why turn down a free meal at Belle Vue as he did guest for them a few times.

Yes of course it should. Yet another rule that wouldn't affect Poole.

Ah.....that explains it. Can't remember much about the layout at Oxford. In fact I can't remember much at all these days.

Those were the days when I used to drive over to Oxford when Coventry were riding. Happy memories but then dogs were banned so I stopped going. It always struck me as odd that at Cowley the majority of fans stood on the 3rd/4th bend rather than the 1st/2nd, which seems to be more usual at other tracks. Had some good times though as the Bees tended to do pretty well against the Cheetahs. Has this gone off topic? What a shame 'cos I don't care.

You've not been back for very long yet so it's understandable you got confused. You'll soon realise why he's classed as a pillock ~ amongst other things. Pillock is quite mild actually. How are you doing anyway Steve? I think we met at Oxford a few times, although supporting different teams. Nice to see you on here again. It's been a long time.

So where is the statement saying Garrity is going to Wolves then? Good luck to Joonas as I like him and am sorry he's not in the 2016 Coventry team. Like Scott, Simon Stead, AJ etc. I'm sure he'll always get a good reception at Brandon.

It was damn freezing with a gale force wind even though the sun was out. Sorry but I couldn't regularly put up with sun breaks and I'm not convinced nothing can be done either as surely some sort of screen could be erected even if it's just a big piece of black material? Wouldn't cost a bomb to sort out. I can't remember any tracks having these breaks years ago.

So David Hemsley doesn't own Leicester Speedway?

I'd go with that too. Meeting starts at 7.30pm and finishes at 9.30pm is okay but how many do finish in under two hours? Sorry to pick on Kings Lynn again but no way would I want to stand around for forty minutes before the match even starts due to the blinking sun. Same goes for Leicester and their sun breaks. It must be my age as I get cheesed off these days with all the hanging around.

Average fixing never goes on does it? I'm sure promoters still give them a nice wage packet to make up for the loss. However, stevebrum has said they change every 4 meetings so who knows? I long ago gave up trying to understand speedway's rules and regulations.

So presumably if the promotion or the riders don't like the idea of moving into the top five they'll just have 4 really bad scores in the first few meetings? Edited for spelling mistake....and I can't even blame predictive text.

Well if Bomber can't help him then no-one can. Chris is an expert at leaving the tapes after everyone else. Not that I mind because that's one of the perks at Coventry seeing his bursts from the back.

Surely not Monday so it's sandwiched between Poland (Sunday) and Sweden (Tuesday)? I wouldn't mind fixed race nights as long as it's Friday and Saturday with riders who want to be here like it used to be in the past. Time for the GP riders to go their own way and if that means no Chris Harris at Coventry because he's still pratting around in the G.P's then fair enough. Bye Chris. I'm sure he'd soon realise where he is better off.

He's got a very nice voice so he doesn't annoy me either.

We are lucky enough to have David Hammond at Coventry.

On the contrary I thought we were stuffed all season with him.

Oooops! Sorry. Just checked back and I must have got confused because you hadn't put it in a quote so I thought it was your words. Apologies.

We're not going to be riding against Poole every week though are we? So much negativity on here already and only 2 reserves signed so far. I've already resigned myself to the thought that Pirates will be champions again next season as it's a foregone conclusion really. Depressing but there it is ~ might as well just enjoy our last year.
