Bees confirm that they have priority over King and Robson this season. I think all clubs would probably have the air fence paid via sponsorship of some sort. If you read it they are buying it anyway but if people want to sponsor then it's upto them.

Couldn't believe it when I read the press release. It's a fiver for 5-10 years olds, Coventry is free until they are 11 and then that's only 3 quid. Oh sorry Wolves fans for hijacking the thread. You will finish 8th.

Poole charge 7 quid for kids which is even more shocking!

Goin by my twitter followers I have a wide range of age groups. Lots the 16-24 age bracket but I suppose twitter is trendy compared to the bsf. I'm surprised how low the family vote is as I know plenty that follow the sport with their kids but that's probably because I attend with mine and it's an easier way to interact and make friends. Speedway is probably one of the cheapest sports to take your children too unless you support Poole.

So Ricky Wells for Wolves then.

Even the old format had inconsistencies, the home number 2 last ride was heat 10 for example. Things like that will always happen, it doesn't bother me to be honest.

It was certainly suggested on here.

I was thinking this myself. I might even invest in having my name on it for 40 quid.

Ellis didn't kick on as much as I thought he would Last season. It will be interesting how all the first draft picks do because the isn't too much between them.

It does look a lot closer this year, Wolves look the weakest to me despite having Blackbird at reserve. Musielak will have to hit the ground running for them to have any chance. Will reserve judgement on Poole until the Darcy saga is over, the North and Watt signings seem average to me though.

Hans won't ride in all of them though. I think they are allowed to miss 2 or 3 a season. I'm also sure I've read that a facility will be granted but don't know whether it's true or not.

Yes because that determines the league champions. Everyone knows the rules before hand so it's not how you start but how you finish

Because he wasn't good enough on the two nights?

Haha bloody auto correct! Good nickname though!

Bridget will be fine, it's just hectic getting everything together. Bomber is helping him out.

Tracks apply for meetings and they are then given out accordingly. I must say I am surprised Coventry have a few of these. The stadium owners messed up big time employing someone with no experience apart from driving a taxi. It seems they've got someone new in so hopefully these issues will be put to bed.

I've read that payments have increased? Sponsorship at Coventry is usually pretty good aswell. Maybe eyeing up a ride abroad like a few other Brits?

The fact that Coventry will have both their reserves for all meetings makes a massive difference. No scrambling around for guests unlike teams like Swindon. I think both are strong, I just think Swindon could prove weak in the 3rd heat leader role during the season. Morris and Zengota will be both be decent at 4 though.

Yeah Swindon look decent for me on paper, whether it will work out like that is another matter.

Unfortunately can't make Kings Lynn on that date. TV coverage will have to do.

Swapping Kennett for Garrity makes sense, will it happen?

That's true but he says he is only doing EL so if that's the case a bonus for us.

Possibly but he has said that he will now only be doing EL. As Coventry have now signed him first it's likely we will get priority.

Would only make sense if Coventry were willing to buy him.

Garrity handed in transfer request at Rye House and been replaced by Mellgren.
