The rule is only 2 doubling up riders in the 1-5 so Belle Vue only have Worrall and Cook so that's fine. Reserves don't count

Not very fair on those of us that have season tickets. Take our money and then write of the season.

How can a tier 1 guest be used for a tier 2 rider? Has that rule changes as well this year?

I thought one was a tier 1 rider and 1 tier 2 or does that not matter this year? All very confusing Count yourself lucky you have 2 tier 1 riders guesting when in the past it would have been a tier 2 rider replacing Ellis (not sure when it changed) If any team wanted to replace a draft rider then it would have to be with one from the list, regardless of average as long as they fit within the point limit

lakeside should keep this close. Look stronger on paper than the robins

Have you forgot how bad he was in last year's play offs

I think they were made to look better because this Coventry team were so poor. I don't think they will pick up many away points this season with the make up of the team, esp once Tungate returns to the top 5. (Should get 4 more points though on their next visit to Brandon)

After the wolves meeting on 9th, we should have even more points free to use as averages will go down even more. Hopefully then Zengota or Sundstrom will be an option

After watching tonight's shocking performance, I would take Kenneth Bjerre, that said even Lasse Bjerre couldn't do any worse 😂😢

Horton's take on tonight (bees website) Coventry promoter Mick Horton said: It was a disappointing performance to say the least but fair play to Swindon, who in my opinion are not a team who are going to make the play-offs. We just didnt perform. I think the reserves did their jobs, but as for the rest of the team I dont know what the answer is, but its not good enough. The crowd turn-out again was great, and they deserve more. Riders of the calibre we need are not available, theyve got commitments in other leagues and the Grand Prix, so weve got to decide whether we need to have a fresh outlook on this. We wont give up, well keep on fighting, but its just really, really frustrating at the moment for everyone.

😂😂😂😂

That's madness! I like Kacper but even if he hadn't been injured, changes would have been needed. We are made up of too many reserve like riders & only 2 heatleaders. Away from home we are dreadful but not much better at Brandon. Woryna should have been our number 8

TBF they weren't that great either. Wolves have been the best team I have watched so far this season. Showing it again against Poole tonight

Well done Swindon on their win tonight. The only thing this bees team are going to win this year is the Wooden spoon! Positive tonight: Sarjeant looked a lot better and was unlucky as he would have scored more if he hadn't broken down. Garrity's win over Doyle (although went backwards after that) Negatives: everything else! Using a TR for the 2nd week running at home, King was shocking again. Using RR is stupid as it means a reserve in most races. Good to see KK come good in the end but need it from the start. No offence to Swindon but they should have been one of the easiest oppositions on paper. This has got to be one of the worst teams since 2013. The crowd against Wolves will be even smaller as imagine most people will watch it on tv.

Track looks good when you think of the rain we had https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Chd6BpTWYAAp8O0.jpg:large

UPDATE| Rain has cleared & we now have sunny conditions with the track drying meaning tonight's meeting against @SwindonSpeedway is ON!

Hoping we have made a change by then. Average change every 2 weeks. My concern tonight is if King withdraws after one race due to his injury, we are already using RR. Huge risk

Once we get beaten at home again by Wolves, we will have more points spare

Sun is breaking through and no more rain forecast

Sun trying to come out now. Rain is back though 😕

Very Heavy rain at the moment. Not had a lot before now but might depend how long this lasts for. Forecast has it dry from 4pm 🙏🏼

Started raining around 1.40pm. There's a strong breeze. Hopefully your forecast will be right. Hard to predict tonight's score as both teams are poor on paper. Think Swindon will edge it though. Not ideal Bees using RR meaning reserves in most races plus a half fit King. If he has to withdraw then we are screwed. Predict 42-48 😕 Maybe management are waiting till after averages drop even more after our next thrashing against Wolves to bring in a new rider 😉 Edited by mdmc82, Today, 11:07 AM.

I have really enjoyed some of the storm meetings esp in 2014 when we had Stefan and Sarjeant but this year's team is very weak and lacks excitement. Laurence Rogers isn't very good at team building or finding new talent and that shows when you compare our team to others. I have only been once this year and sadly will not be in a rush to watch this current team.

I found that strange as well. Unless it's because his average is now higher. If that's the case then it needs updated.
