Larsen's average is too high anyway if you bring in Iversen.

They will soon be asking fans to send messages to Rugby Council saying that the need is there from the public for a new stadium through a dedicated website. I do think Rugby Council are warm to the idea of a new stadium as Stock Car and speedway actually brings in the most visitors within the Rugby Council area. Planning will come from Rugby Council but the land is owned by Coventry City Council as i understand it.

I'm determined to enjoy this season no matter what, it may be the last season as a Bees supporter (hopefully not!)

The stadium employed the track staff ever since Horton took over I believe. The problem was they employed someone who was clearly not qualified, at least they've now its sorted. Track was decent last year.

The Polish taxi driver doing the track prep 😂. Luckily we now have a decent curator and the track was decent pretty much all year.

It was rumoured that Broadstreet rugby club could be a venue for the Bees, it's situated by the tgi island. Wasps have now put planning permission to use the venue temporarily as a training ground while they build there new state of the art training facility. Plenty of information on the save Coventry speedway facebook page about what the group have recently done.

It was never that much but administration did the trick. Funny thing is the club (sisu) is now trying to sue the council for loss of earnings after the council loaned ACL (the company running the Ricoh) 16m claiming that loan was state aid but also meant the club had to suffer administration and move away from Coventry.

Haha. Wasps now have full control of the Ricoh with CCFC as tenants. Oh and less of the dying football club wrbare getting promoted... hopefully.

Coventry Telegraph says its between the Binley Woods and Toll Bar junctions. Brandon Lane keeps getting mentioned as it seems Coventry Council own land in that area. Horton thinks a track can be put down and temporary facilities can be put in place to start with or sharing with Leicester for the season, which I guess will be more likely in 2017.

I would have agreed with you when our side was name but not now. A few teams are worse than us!

Coventry did well at the old stadium in recent times, I bet we get stuffed twice this year!

Think the meeting at Brandon will be, no point changing it to a Monday otherwise.

You will get some tier one riders averaging 7+ after 4 meetings, Garrity averaged over 7.

England are playing on the 16th in the Euros which is probably the reason for the change. Edit. Just realised they are playing at 2pm not in the evening.

Its a national event not a local one and I can't believe you comparing Football to Speedway.

To be honest if a number 8 turns out decent I dont have a problem with teams putting him in even based on form. If it is only to cover absences then you could always make a change and name him in the 1-7 if he's that good. Not sure we will see any that are heat leader standard although we haven't been told the criteria yet but Lakeside signing the kid Jonsson seems to show the level.

Good post. Monday is probably the worst night of the week for fans in general.

Kings Lynn v Coventry was Thursday 16th June now moved to Wednesday 22nd June

The number 8 will fill in for riders missing in the 2-5, there may be a number 9 from tier 2 list to replace missing draft riders.

I agree with that to be fair but if there was injuries where they'd miss several matches id suggest clubs would bring in a rider to replace.

British Final goes to Belle Vue but Brandon gets the ELRC.

We are trying to get away from guests not increase them. The number 8 is a good idea in principle. British riders are in Polish and Swedish squads.

Brandon will host the ELRC in October.

Belle Vue will probably have more of a home advantage than people think. I'm sure they will get extensive practice while other riders will turn up never having seen the place before.

That cant be right as all my twitter feed last night was the PSG-Chelsea game! Edit. The 200,000 was on BT Sport showcase, a free to air channel. Didnt even know that existed!
