As you well know it was because of the numbers being 3 points short. If there was another option Bees fans would've suggested that but there isn't. I think he will become a decent rider, scored 10 against Torun yesterday and i think he beat Hancock twice.

A change shouldve happened a while ago, don't think we will see one now.

The issue isnt the likes of PK being in reserve, its the heat format which makes it far to easy for riders to move up and down. The old heat format would have gave a far more fairer reflection on a riders ability and would be more difficult to move up or down. Having said that the format helps produce better racing with riders generally at a similar standard in each heat.

Garrity didnt need the draft as more than one club were happy to take him in their top 5. Cant see any rider turn that down with the extra income attached. If he wasn't in our top 5 he would've been in someone else's. The actual draft picks were the issue and signing King which seriously hampered our options for the final rider. Garrity had a poor start to the season (machine issues mainly) but now seems in far better form and i can see him pushing King for that 3rd heatleader role by the end of the season.

Second that! The Belle Vue-Coventry meeting was the best ive seen in a long time. Dont think I've seen a poor EL meeting this season to be honest.

The problem is we have protected heats which originally was to protect British riders. Once it was agreed to let them move up the old heat format should be used. They would have then earned the right to move up and vice versa.

Id take a point now if it was offered.

They way Garrity rode there last week I wouldn't be at all surprised if he made the final. Ive put an eachway bet on him. Its an open field this year

Manchester has a hell of a lot to offer entertainment wise. Just down the road the Etihad Stadium had Coldplay playing. All very well saying big catchment areas but that usually means more competition too.

Don't think Karlsson would ride for anyone else but Wolves to be honest. Would be nice to have a rider we could call upon if needed

Very good especially as we may need Roynon for a week or two

I guess Rose moves to 4 as you're using you're 3rd draft rider (Lambert) as guest for Kai. The 3rd draft rider assumes his own average not the one he's replacing, I think.

Horton on Thursday said we will have at least one more home one as we are contracted to at least 2.

Ben Barker is now available to sign, Glasgow have let him go.

The new owners are talking with the council and haven't ruled anything out, yet.

People have weeks in advance to book a ticket, if most people want to wait till the day then that's up to them but expect queues. I'm sure I read you can even order them on the day (or before) and then pick them up at a different desk? Pretty much every other sport/stadium has a similar scheme these days.

I certainly wouldn't rule out us riding at Brandon next year, Rugby Council seem quite determined to keep us there.

Won't happen unless there is going to be a track ready for 2018.

Shame for GB as with Ellis in the side they had a chance.

We was allowed to bring food and drink on the back straight but was told it wasn't allowed in the seating area.

£3 at Brandon!

I assure you she does go to Brandon.

If the reserve spot was open to anyone and not just under 21 riders then Garrity might have been in contention after what I saw yesterday. He was flying round there. Think there is too many in front of him at the moment. Oh and by the way I can see Lambert loving Belle Vue.

Jeremy Heaver on the Save Cov Speedway facebook page. The councillior confirmed Sandhu has no links, he has seen paperwork and met the individuals.

So it seems the bank had a big say in the sale of Brandon. I did say this when it was put up for sale, it made no sense otherwise. If the bank wanted it sold does Sandhu even have the money for a replacement? I bloody hope so!
