I agree and lets hope Horton thinks the same.

I gather BT Sport is still light on live summer sports? Id guess speedway could help fill their schedules if Sky dont renew.

So what are Sky looking for from the BSPA to agree a new deal for next season? One big league with more variety or a similar EL with more fixtures but less guests and R/R? Or have they given up with speedway full stop?

Rain due at 10.30 this morning hopefully it will hold out till 2!

Can see the team looking something like this if it will fit 1, Nicholls 2, Zengota 3, Harris 4, Fisher 5, Sundstrom 6, Dyer 7, Summers

Riders id like for 2014 Harris Sundstrom Kylmakorpi Larsen Zengota Fisher Ljung Hansen Bellego Szczepaniak K. Smith Garrity Kerr A half decent number one would be nice too

If anything i blame Leicester for using 3 number 1's, why are they doing it? The Bees team is the strength i thought it would be and if anything the Bees bottom 4 are stronger than the Leicester lower half. Dont really get the outrage from a few, its a challenge that will be closely fought (at Brandon at least).

Barker i agree but Matt Ford wanted Tungate to prove his fitness even though he is announced in the side for Monday.

Will be a long tail for Poole at Perry Barr, Josh scored 0 (i think) when guesting for Coventry earlier in the season and Tungate doesnt do great there either.

Obviously the Leicester top 3 look good but Coventrys bottom 4 look stronger. Hansen is one we should look at, being in the Brandonapolis and this fixure gives the promotion plenty of oppurtunities to watch him. Should be a decent match up.

Sundstrom said he wasnt fit enough after the KL meeting and Rory has never been confirmed to ride far as i know. Unfortunetly i can no longer make it, didnt have as many holidays as i thought i had!

Sounds interesting!

England are playing on the 11th.

I have no idea can anyone keep up with Roynon fitness? Apparently Bomber rides for the Bees and KK and Hansen ride for Leicester.

Although i personally think Poole should have been deducted points for the Lakeside call off and the Belle Vue meeting was a shambles they have certainly rode well in the play offs and are the best team on paper now. This is from a usually bitter Bees fan cant believe i just typed this!

Really looking forward to this and hoping its an EL fixture next year. As for the team id assume Nicholls, Allen, Summers and Roynon will ride hopefully Zengota too.

The tone was set with Doyle touching the tapes in heat 1. Anyone else surprised Harris wasnt in 15? Good performance from Poole.

Although i agree with lowering costs in the EL next year the BSPA must do everything possible to ensure Tai is involved next season. Well done Tai!

Would anyone want to take over now considering the stadium is up for sale? Id very much doubt it. So whether you like it or not we are stuck with Horton.

I hope Leicester do join the EL next year i would look forward to Bees v Lions at Brandon. If Leicester and one more (ipswich?) join it will certainly give the EL and hopefully all EL clubs a boost.

The NL pairs event, Brandonapolis and Leicester double header have been arranged. Dont see many other promotions putting on extra meetings at this point.

As a Bees fan, the pros Coventry Storm Greg Zengota Decent attendances (considering) A promoter who actually promotes! Cons Finishing bottom Gary Havelock Roynons injuries (again) Not improving the side when we were midtable although i think that was mainly due to the promotion being owed cash. Brummies not buying Barker as ordered. The league really needs to clamp down on clubs owing money to other clubs, its not a level playing field when this occurs.

Hansen and Jamrog in the Brandonapolis, maybe looking to see how they get on with a view to next year? The likes of Harris, Sundstrom Larsen and Zengota will no doubt be considered. The bottom end will be interesting not sure we will see Roynon, Summers, Allen Robson or Szczepaniak next season.

Rumours a few weeks back he has signed for Leicester next season if they make the step up.

The Bees v Leicester double header should appease season ticket holders. Cracking idea and on a Sunday too. KK rides for Leicester a sign for next season?
