  1. As someone who runs the save cov speedway twitter feed I would never ask anyone to invade the track its a irresponsible thing to say and do. Fans will not go on a Monday even at £10 and even more so when we have a meeting Friday. Originally I suggested doing the flags/banners on an actual race night and get local media involved as it's local government and mainly local people that can put pressure on the developer. I was shot down saying it needs to on Sky, looks like I was right. As for giving up, never. Talks are still ongoing to extend the lease. As I said before the Bees promotion has a bigger platform to push this than any of us. Promote a meeting as a "Save Cov Speedway" one, invite local media, reduce prices for a Friday meeting and I can guarantee that will have more clout than what we had yesterday
  2. They enjoy his wheelies after the race and that he is a likeable guy.
  3. That cant be right because Horton is running two teams, he wouldn't do that if he wanted to spend little as possible. Also Sandhu doesn't own the stadium anymore he rents it now.
  4. There are some fans that don't think a replacement is needed because he's entertaining, that's probably why.
  5. If you closed the back straight and 3rd-4th bend and they all stood in the first bend it would look full. Most stadiums don't have viewing all around the stadium like Coventry does and when you include the size of the place it makes it look worse. As for promoting it, apart from a couple of tweets the club didn't do much. I tweeted several times over the course of the weekend but I have 970 followers the majority not local, Bees have over 7,000. More need to be done to let people know. First few heats were poor but thought I was decent after that. Not seen a poor meeting at Brandon this season despite our side being not the best.
  6. Scored ok in the 1-5 occasionally but we were so far below the limit we needed a change asap. Now at reserve he's still averaging 4pts a meeting, awful. Needs a change pronto, Mads is available.
  7. We never get good crowds on a sky meeting, especially with a meeting on Friday too. Brandon is massive compared to most other stadiums so it does seem worse than it actually is. Also why is bend 3 and 4 tricky when on Sky, never seems to be a problem on non televised meetings. How long have we got to put up with Woryna? 4 points at home in a reserve position from someone who should be in the 1-5 just isn't good enough, we are losing valuable points! Bit unlucky with Sarj falling when on a 5-1 then giving up a 5-1 in the re run but it just wasn't good enough, the first few heats were embarrassing.
  8. Shouldn't be that, he had an operation before the season to rectify that issue Edit. Seems to be something that happened on Thursday so who knows.
  9. Havvy probably would have in the winter but his health took priority. We are not far away from a good side. Just that one change needed but its whether we can get riders here. Doesn't help that some fans don't even want a change
  10. Not so sure. He was close to pulling out of today's meeting.
  11. He swore and it was wrong to do so but I'm sure pretty much all of us have done it at some point where we probably shouldn't. It happens.
  12. Shame Lambert is missing, I know he doesn't have a great record at Brandon but was still looking forward to seeing him.
  13. To be honest its a bit of a myth that Horton doesn't make changes, he's made changes every season so far.
  14. To be honest Kyle is in awful form and its Rory first meeting back so don't really see that it strengthens KL. Barker in for Garrity could weaken us but Barker could easily score well tonight too, Barker should be better than R/R. 49-41 to the Bees
  15. If there is to be fixed race days then it has to be consecutive, riders will not travel here twice in a week. Wed-Thur has to be favoured option.
  16. Danny Smith said Bomber was poor on Monday even though he scored 11 points! But, after last night King over took Bomber for that last position for me. Bombers performance was awful while Danny was overtaking some top riders. Don't know why some are 50/50 over Cook, for me he's a certainty with it being at Belle Vue.
  17. Light rain expected between 12-5 tomorrow. Hopefully it is just light rain.
  18. I can understand riders swearing after a decision not going their way etc but Tai really didn't need to swear at that point.
  19. Big Bomber fan but last night he was atrocious. In the mean time Danny King was passing quality riders. Kept changing my mind on this but King deserves the spot over Bomber after that. Woffinden Cook Lambert King Bates/Ellis
  20. If there wasn't doubling up King and Garrity would only be EL riders they wouldn't be at PL level
  21. Barker is a 2nd string rider who rides Brandon well, right decision for me!
  22. A move to Leicester would only work if it was only for a season while a new stadium is being built. Dont see fans travelling to Leicester week in week out without the excitement of a new home.
