Wont some of these fixtures be held during different times? Surely some will be day meetings?

Cook has improved year on year and I find it staggering that people still don't rate him. He would be in my GB side with Woffinden, Harris and King.

I think Speedway is more a family sport more than most others, 20 quid for me and my daughter to attend Brandon this season I find that very reasonable.

Even though statistics and facts have been posted that Darcy is in fact not even in the top 3 riders of 2013 some people will still not have it. Most exciting does not mean the best.

Its a superb cause, it was on Children in need a few weeks back with Gary Barlow. I will certainly put my hands in my pockets for this.

Brilliant stuff from Mick, obviously there will be a link with Coventry and hopefully that can benefit both clubs.

I assume Sarjeant, Greenwood, Crang and Shanes will be named in the side.

Harris took his chance in the GP challenge and thats a fact although I do agree how he got to ride in the meeting is a bit 'lucky'.

This is why Ford should have kept quiet! Tut tut!

Totally agree!

Of course its wrong. He shouldnt announce it before either the actual broadcaster or the governing body post a press release. Why did he feel the need to come out with it but the other promoters/clubs havent? Of course its good news but why couldnt he just wait. Nothing is official until THEY actually announce it.

Make me. Its not upto Ford or any other promoter to release details of a deal between GoSpeed and Sky. He was wrong to do it and even worse going to the press.

Yep Ford opening his mouth when he shouldve kept it shut. 5 year broadcasting deal only on reduced terms, EL to look for a new title sponsor.

Its been talked about on the Coventry Bees fans page but why dont clubs have a mailing list so they can e-mail punters with updates, upcoming fixtures and send various deals. I believe Coventry now have something like this set up.

Well done on the Bees promotion for promoting our club. Many people there will be from the Coventry/warwickshire area so hopefully it will attract new fans to Brandon.

PL riders under a certain limit will also be included in the 'draft'.

Looks like im one of not many that thinks it could be a brilliant idea. Id hope the allocation will be a least based on assets to start with? Didnt we have a similar system years ago when speedway was supposedly great that reserves only raced each other? It could work just need to see the finer details

The one thing I would like to see is a 10%-15% reduction for the Brits, promoters will be more inclined to employ Brits a therefore save money. Nothing to do with Coventry having lots of Brits as assets, honest.

It doesnt start till tomorrow I think?

A managers role is to get his side to over perform, to do better than predicted. We under performed in the SWC and thats a fact, Middlo shouldve called it a day then. Id give Morris the chance although im unconvinced as he was part of the management. Lets see what he can do as Manager, at least Morris can be bothered to get the right accreditation.

They should just carry on with the agm thinking there is no deal and if one is then agreed its a much needed boost to their bank balance.

Our side shouldve beaten USA and Latvia, the riders should look at themselves but the management should take full responsibility. Still cant believe Kennett, Barker and Bridger were picked ahead of King!

Id guess Leicester and Ipswich would be the favourites but the 3rd? I would have said Sheffield but they are up for sale, id like Somerset to make the move up looks a fantastic track.

Luke Crang is now a confirmed asset so he will be in the side.

If Sandhu had his way Brandon would probably look very different than it does now. Brandon is known as a decent Speedway stadium but lets be honest even Brandon could do with an upgrade.
