  1. My bike was always like a magnet to me if I went flying it always came back to land on me lol
  2. Doctors may of told him he was out for the season but he gave it a go yesterday but Would he of been fit to ride today as he maybe feeling a lot of discomfort and wished he hadn't rode,been there done that one coming back to early.
  3. Wolves fans calling Poole cheats and the world champion is only a second string rider lol only in speedway
  4. I found it easy to ride wet tracks, it's then down to skill and not just power oh and good gating.
  5. Not houses but possibly a football stadium
  6. So you keep saying but you failed to prove I am lying, I have raced a number of times on wet tracks and enjoyed it. Funny had it been a GP tonight it would be on.
  7. Riders will ride in the rain during a GP but not in the Elite League semi final ?
  8. Have you ever raced in a meeting when the rain comes down or when the track is very wet but no rain ?
  9. Riders getting soft again, also not sure why they have dirt deflectors at the price they cost if they are not effective on wet tracks.
  10. Think it may of been actually lol I put my mistake down to my head pounding with Yorkie voice all night.
  11. Not at the matches I have been too they looked very poor including the last one for the double header. Did the storm matches break even ? I fear for next season.
  12. Yes it seems very much like its the speedway they have issues with and nobody else. Again as I said with poor crowds not sure how Horton could balance the books.
  13. I saw a rider get excluded AFTER the race for wearing the same helmet colour as his team mate in an EL meeting it took the ref 4 laps to exclude him lol
  14. I suggest you find a copy of yesterday's coventry telegraph and read it for yourself it's Not hearsay it's Facts. Maybe you should shut up as you clearly don't know anything that is going on.
  15. Coventry Don't have enough supporters to run Elite League Speedway or to make the council want to make sure the sport stays at Brandon. Fact Crowds are shocking compared to a few years ago and it's clear the people of Coventry and Warwickshire are not behind supporting it. It will be a sad day if it's the end of Brandon and the bees
  16. ELRC in doubt at Brandon Horton is not making any comment
  17. News Local News Brandon Stadium National competition postponed after dispute between Coventry Speedway and stadium owners A statement on their website said there was a "political issue" involving Coventry Speedway and the stadium's owners Motorsport fans were left disappointed yesterday after a dispute between Coventry Speedway and stadium landlords meant organisers were forced to postpone a national competition. Dozens of people took to social media on Friday to share their concerns after the National League double header involving the City Gearboxes Storm, Stoke and Rye House was cancelled . According to a statement on the racing club’s website, this was due to the ‘unavailability of the stadium’. No new dates have been arranged yet. Reports emerged on social media of track staff allegedly being stopped from entering Brandon Stadium in Warwickshire . Some Twitter users even said that a group called Ride’n’Slide Dayz had turned up at the stadium, but found the gates locked. @OfficialCovBees what about an apology to the #RideAndSlideDayz event? Guys turn up @07:30 arctic full of bikes & gear to a Locked gate! — Richard Hammond (@richard3642) 23 September 2016 Last night bosses issued a statement saying that they were involved in a “political issue” with the stadium landlords Coventry Racing Club Ltd. They tried to assure fans that the issue did not involve the stadium’s new owners and would hopefully be resolved after talks with the British Speedway Promoters Association and Coventry Racing Club Ltd . The statement read: “Coventry Speedway would like to apologise to supporters, riders and sponsors for the postponement of Friday’s meeting. “This is a political issue involving ourselves and our current stadium landlords Coventry Racing Club Ltd. “The matter requires further discussion with the BSPA and new stadium owners, and we are unable to comment further at this stage other than to confirm the issue itself does not involve the new owners. “Another statement will be provided in due course following these discussions.” The Telegraph has tried to contact Coventry Speedway for further comment. READ MORE Brandon Stadium needs increased support, warns Coventry promoter Mick Horton Earlier this month, the Telegraph reported how Coventry promoter Mick Horton said National League racing cannot continue indefinitely at Brandon without increased support. This came just months after the Coventry Bees and Coventry Storm signed a deal to remain at Brandon Stadium when it looked like they were going to be left homeless . After the intervention of the leader of Rugby Borough Council, Coun Michael Stokes, a deal was reached with Brandon Estates Ltd, who purchased the site from former Bees owner Avtar Sandhu for £2.77million, to allow the Bees to ride there next season - with a possible two years to follow
  18. It was always checked when warming the bikes up, however if a rider crashes it could snap a wire and the cut off won't work so could keep going, nothing is checked after a race to my knowledge
  19. You don't want a rider that is top box office plus is an ultra professional and a THREE times World Champion,THREE times World Cup Winner, FOUR times Danish Champion,TEN league Winners medals plus other winners medals, when was the last time wolves had a rider who was as successful as him, Hans Nielsen ? I think any team offered NP would be mad not to sign him, he is World Class and it will be a very sad day when he retires.
  20. your promoter is a big part of why speedway is in such a bad state today.
  21. Not sure why anyone would need a cut out to work after winning a race unless you did a tommy Knudsen and fall off crossing the Finnish line doing a wheelie lol
  22. Never tried cycle speedway it looked pretty energetic to me but boring. Any news on TW training school ?
