BEES V POOLE, PREVIEW
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2014 COVENTRY supporters have the chance to celebrate play-off qualification with reduced admission prices for Monday’s Elite League clash with rivals Poole at Brandon (7.30pm).
The Buildbase Bees confirmed their place in the title shoot-out by seeing off Eastbourne last Friday, but are still keen to keep the momentum going both on and off the track.
Adult admission for the visit of the Pirates is down to just £10, with all children admitted free of charge – the same prices which are normally in effect for Coventry Storm matches in the National League.
Support and belief in the senior team has been steadily growing throughout the season with the riders responding to the atmosphere, and Bees have taken maximum points from their last seven home matches.
In fact, the last visiting side to come away from Brandon with any reward were Poole, who snatched a point in mid-June thanks in part to a 15-point maximum from Darcy Ward.
The Australian is absent due to suspension on Monday and the Pirates also have injury problems in their middle-order – but they appear to have picked wisely with their guests, as both Dakota North and Richard Lawson have enjoyed excellent recent meetings at Brandon.
BUILDBASE BEES (from): Hans Andersen, Max Fricke, Jason Garrity, Kenneth Hansen, Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, James Sarjeant.
POOLE (from): Benji Compton, Josh Grajczonek, Maciej Janowski, Richard Lawson, Kyle Newman, Dakota North, Guest or R/R for Darcy Ward.
Brilliant guest choices by Poole as Lawson and North both very strong at Brandon
Good to see Max with the bees again
