ONTWOMINUTES

Wage caps etc etc if ever introduced could be policed but back handers which are common place cannot. Like with most things in life money speaks volumes when you want something.

It was rained off , it's on today at 17.00

Watched on updates and the end result looked closer than I would of predicted , on paper Cradley had by far the strongest team .

I've noticed a few on these threads that suggest robbo should go , apart from being injured almost as soon as the season got going he's been one of the diamonds top riders for many season's and can and does beat anyone round Brough park when he's fully fit .

Just out of interest ,who would you of picked to guest at 7 for the bees ?

They probably fell foul of the rule that it has to be an unattached rider (3.00) and had very limited choice .

Couldn't agree more with any of that mate , one of my work colleagues attended the meeting and said more or less the same - only problem is there isn't many riders out there to be drafted in but I'm sure the management will be searching for options.

Looks like the brummies have gone r/r for cupitt which now gives them a potential boost with leon flint able to take more rides .

OK mate , I'll remember that .

Good , in that case why are you making issues of my opinions. I have an interest in speedway generally - didn't realise everyone has to post on here only after getting clearance off you as to weather you'll agree with it or not and to help in your negative stance on Coventry speedway. As I said your boring me and many many others with this constant view. I'll not waste any more of your time but to do that you need to stop replying to my posts .

Aggressive? I totally got what you meant about manor so please don't mock by asking me to look at your highlighted piece and have a think. I notice you've got bees as your team yet all you do is be negative and go against anything positive. For such an old poster I find your repetition boring. You aren't the only one though - why don't you go and sit up brandon and imagine what could of been. The situation is as it is and I doubt it will change very soon if at all. Many other supporters from other tracks have been through this or similar. You've got a very strange way of being a speedway supporter.

For many it is and that's their loss , for the rest who aren't stuck in the past and wishing for something different then they are the ones enjoying good speedway from the bees . The only drawback in your words is personal issue's and the weak argument of a few quid in petrol money. Like I said if you don't like it please don't spoil it for others who can deal with the current situation.

Thankyou, your help is much appreciated.

Quite right - give the team extra rides which gives them more track time and also keeps the money in house to benefit Redcar riders pockets which then presumably would be invested into their equipment .

Has to be said - for all the negativity and willingness to fail in their new venture the bees as a team have started the season in a positive manor and I wish them luck for the season ahead. Hopefully they'll start getting the crowd they deserve and anyone against the whole thing in any way - it's simple , no one is forcing you to go and watch but for those who are choosing to then don't put a downer on it for them . These people are the real supporter's who club's rely on to keep them afloat.

Just wondered if anyone knows the score charts from any mdl meetings that have run this year .

I fail to see why it's any concern as to who is involved because it's Coventry's business - maybe the poster is just setting up a case to get people to have another go about something. The bees are on track and looking good - be nice if people were just satisfied to watch their progress and not pick all the time.

I would think the cooperation between both clubs is paramount - Coventry's only control would that the track is available for them on Sundays where a meeting is scheduled. Track staff personal are the same for both clubs.

Coventry's meetings are scheduled to run at 15.00 on a Sunday and Leicester's on Monday's at 19.30 . Do you not think the Leicester management would of let this arrangement be made if there was a possibility of the lions racing on a sub standard surface due to the bees using it the day before? The track staff at Leicester are more than capable of getting their prep done. Nothing anyone can do about constant rain.

That's a fair comment in good weather but in the cold and constant drizzle I for one was pleased the meeting flowed and was completed.

Very positive start to the bees season in not the best conditions , the whole team looked competitive . Taking into account most bees riders having very limited track time at this venue ,once they are settled in I'm sure coventry will have a good season.
