I agree Bomber isnt a number 1.

You have to set up an account with bet365 and put a fiver on it then you can watch lots of sport. You dont have to bet to watch. Weather has been perfect too so no excuses this time.

The programme will have a 4 page insert with racecard and all the latest news from the EL upto yesterday. Its been reduced to £2.

He is on a false average but now with the new format if he averages 7 it will be successful. No easy races with reserves for him this year. With the new format he would struggle to get 8 but if he averages 7 that will be a successful season. I did some looking around and Harris has the top 2 scores riding in the number 5 position away from home, guesting for Wolves and last night. Away number 5s have struggled so far.

Agree, I think Fisher will be a better number 3 away than Hansen, he has much more experience in Britain.

Fair enough apology accepted. Birmingham will do ok at home I said that on the Birmingham thread pre season, im struggking to see where they will get away points though. He was bought in as he is dynamite around Brandon, Id be happy with 4-5 points away if he can get 7+ at home consistantly while heat leader. I guess Fisher will be heat leader soon.

I wouldnt be too down hearted if we lost the next 2 meetings, Kings Lynn and Poole will be the top 2 I think. If we can get any points from both meetings I will be happy.

Erm yeah ok. What a strange and childish post.

Apart from Roynon there isnt much more choice on Friday if it has to be a PL rider taking the guest booking.

If Harris gets his average with this format he has done his job, no free points from a reserve for him or any other heatleader anymore. Garrity at 100% wouldve scored 7 at the very least, which wouldve been meeting won. Id actually say we wanted it more after coming back after a poor start, all this shows how committed the riders are to the Bees this season so far.

The track was fine last Friday but then the stocks ran the day after. Had a dry week so track should finally be in good condition.

Tough opening match for the Bees anyway but especially as Kyle Howarth missing. It seems Vissing will replace him at number 4. I think this could go either way much will depend on Garritys fitness.

A fit Garrity and I think we can take a point. I also think Howarth will be key, can he get the better of Milik and Grajczonek? I was very impressed with Howarth at Birmingham.

You can't compare a 9-10 point man at home to a 7 point man away. If Bomber scores 8 on Friday he achieves his average, I really don't know what people expect from a rider who averages just under 7. This team is going places yet we still have people moaning. We have FIVE points from 2 away meetings, its a good start!

Coventry top 5 has outscored the opposition top 5 both times I believe.

This kind of comment gets on my nerves especially when Bomber was close to retiring last year.

A fit Garrity wouldve got 9 easily, shouldnt have rode tonight. Howarth and Fisher rode well and Hans did his job in 13 and 15, Hansen is signed for his liking of Brandon so I dont expect too much from him away but 3 is poor. I expected Bomber to get around 8 so a couple of points short. Sarjeant has impressed me. On the whole im happy we rescued a point as after heat 9 I was expecting to lose convincingly. 5 away points from 2 away meetings is a good start considering we only got 5 away points in the whole of last season. Absolutely!

Good for me I can't make tonight.

Barker isnt known as a gater so I dont think thats the reason for the change, Eastbourne have done the same at Poole tonight putting Bjarne at 3.

I wonder how much rent is a Brandon, it cant be a million miles away from 100k. If this new stadium for BV is 66k rent a year it shouldnt be a problem especially if its similar to what they are paying now.

Pedersen will get 3 rides in the tactical zone if needed, i think they are just covering all their bases.

Having King at 3 means he will have 3 rides in the tactical zone if needed.

Smolinski did go over to Darcy the commentator did say this but Darcy obviously wouldnt have know. Darcys comments about the incident is very poor, most riders have that sort of incident in there career where they hit a rut and lose control. Darcy was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time.

He hasnt changed anything this winter I believe. He will do a lot better in other rounds he never seems to track the large tracks and none are bigger than Auckland.

Officially pulled out of the British U21 Final but says he wants to be considered for 2015.
