As I thought you just said something without any substance or knowledge. OAPs in general have a hell of a lot more disposable income than in the past and its only going to continue to rise. The gap between pensioners and people who work is closer than ever. To be honest I wouldn't mind OAPs paying a quid or two less but £4-£5 less is a hell of a difference.

Why?

Coventry have dropped the prices for every age group apart from OAPs who have an increase.

Looks like they are building a decent Storm side for 2016.

Be good for him to get some individual meetings over here to see his form. Jamrog did a fair few and was poor in all of them

Thornblom was one, think he had only one meeting for us.

Your correct. I was convinced he rode v Wolves at Brandon but I was wrong. Still the point still stands that if he scores poorly he can still be replaced before the EL fixtures. I'm sure other assessed riders have been replaced before getting an official average though.

I think Kennett was transferred to Rye House after Lakeside signed him so Lakeside still had priority as he was a Coventry asset at the time he was announced in the line up.

That rule no longer applies, we changed Jamrog after i think 1 EL meeting last season. I personally dont think he will score poorly but with over 7 points to play with it was a poor signing and he wont get close to that. Difference with Woryna and Jamrog is Woryna has much more time to prepare where Jamrog had just a couple of weeks. Still a big ask for a young lad who has never rode in the EL before.

I think there will be riders more inclined to ride in Britain once the season starts if they have no Swedish or Polish club. The King signing left us with limited options with him being a heatleader and a d/u rider. Of course if Woryna is scoring only 2 points you wouldn't have to look hard to find an improvement and we did similar last year when signing Kylmakorpi.

Think he will get the two Elite Shield matches and maybe Bombers testimonial. Wont get much tougher than Poole so if he does score points then he'll stay, if he scores 0-2 I think a change would have to be made.

You have to be realistic the side on paper isn't great compared to some others. I'm more than willing to give it a chance though, it wouldn't be the first time fans have been wrong about a side.

Even more so considering is narrowed our options for the 2nd string role.

We certainly won't make the playoffs with the 1-7 as it is unless Woryna surprises and does a job. Big ask for a young lad in his first EL season. Dont think the reserves will be that bad, scope for improvement from both of them but obviously not the scoring power that we've had in previous years. Time for Sarj to step up I feel. Our top two is one of the strongest in the league so no issues there and Garrity will do well I feel. King will need to improve as a heatleader, his heatleader average last season was poor for a rider who has been a heatleader regularly. He does have it in him but doubtful we will see much of it as heatleader All in all not much hope of a playoff spot with this 1-7 but if/when it goes badly in the Shield meetings v Poole a change can be made before EL fixtures get started.

So back to the original question. The only suggestion riding in the EL these days is Garrity, honestly I can't think of another!

Wasn't comparing them to the Bees I was comparing it to what would look like a title winning side. No where near Belle Vue or Poole in my opinion unless the pull a major signing.

I dont rate this Swindon side at the moment, last signing crucial for them.

No one knows anything officially but it would be strange if they graded riders by PL average yet have riders in tier 2 with higher averages than some tier 1 riders. We could have easily protected Sarj in tier 2 and got last pick in tier 1 but for some reason the bspa seem secrecy is the best policy so we might not ever know.

On here and twitter, only speculation but seems like there is something in it.

Think Kerr was at the bottom end of the list in that case Sarj may have dropped to tier 2?. Like every else this year the draft was secretly done so who knows if its allowed or not. Or simply the tier's were based on PL averages so Bates was tier 1 and Sarj tier 2? Unlikely I know.

So apparently Lewis Kerr is joining the Bees. Who for i wonder?

It wasn't dwelling on the past, it was post that shows there was no Agent KK. If we dont refer to the past we will have hardly anything to talk about.

I'm only worried that an early change wont happen if its a disaster against your lot in the ES.

Beat me to it, KK obviously doesn't read Fords texts!

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Buczkowski was top of the Poole averages during the season.
