Yes there was an emergency track grade before the Un opposed 5-0 after both of the Bees had bitten the dust.

It's weird. The base just seems wavey. Standing on first bend you can see riders front wheels leaving the track. And it's not just our inept cabbages struggling with it. King wanted sacking before tonight and still wants sacking now. Woeful.

There's 4 other cov fans with me and three others by us so at least 8 of us. Track is a disgrace.

You do know the Swedish EL runs on a Tuesday I take it, and this was just a joke?

Bad idea, usually proposed by people that don't regularly attend. It's been proven time and time again that Coventry isn't well attended outside the established Friday and Saturday race night. Torun encroach on Coventry's established race night and still take preference. Unbelievable.

Definitely. Axe the pair of them first thing and there might be time to salvage something. Losing by just two with King and Harris getting 9 between them is shambolic. Points wasted. King losing to Wilkinson is a total disgrace.

Few miles from the stadium and barely had a drop all day. Looking outside now the ground is bone dry. Would have been ok I think.

Given the collective groan that was let out at the Q & A session when the news was announced, I'm not surprised at all!

Should re-stage this tomorrow. Decent forecast and all riders here ahead of Wednesday's meeting at Lynn.

Me neither. Thing is, if he doesn't, he'll be struggling to pay the riders before long as he won't have anyone left in the stadium.

Let's face it mate, we've had it. Had a good run, but everything dies eventually. Could be lucky to see the season out. Crowd must have been less than 100 for the NL match on Monday?

Yeah, it's hilarious. Maybe you can stand and cheer next year when the main stand mysteriously burns down whilst the place is laying idle and they're trying to get planning permission. By the way, there were about 12 Wolves fans there tonight.

Last ever season over by April the 1st. Crowd utterly dismal and will only drop lower, particularly as the next home meeting is on a Monday. As a minimum the management need to try some remedial work on the dreadful side they've assembled. King and Woryna will have to be dropped to salvage anything. Shame for the Pole but we haven't got the time to wait for him and, as we don't exist as of October, what's the point in developing him? Felt like the place was just dead tonight. Sad, tired and waiting to be demolished. Very depressing.

Absolute joke of a sport. That said, surprised he's taken the booking given that all of the classless trash talking has come out of his own mouth during the winter. Bit of a hypocrite is Hans. I'm sure he'll delight in riding crap for us once more. KK at it already. Might save the money. Ah well, won't be an issue next year.

Let's face it, he wouldn't even be a decent reserve. He's wasting his, and our, time.

So that Carr can cover Heat 14 and we can rid ourselves of the utterly useless rtd by Heat 12 I would imagine. They deserve the stadium to be empty re-signing Terry-Daley. Possibly the slowest, most inept speedway rider I've ever seen. I'm sure he's a lovely lad, but a speedway rider he ain't.

The OAPS just need to buy an NUS card online, then they can get in for a fiver.

Perhaps Allan Trump can save them like he did last year? He'll have to learn to keep a lid on the truth and tolerate the other crooked promotors that he struggled to work with last time but he's probably their only hope.

Whilst I agree to an extent about the fragility of the modern day speedway rider, and their unwillingness to assist in less than perfect conditions, the fact that some of us were told at Coventry last night that the meeting was going to be off is the worst thing in my eyes. Why didn't they just pull the plug and restage at a later date?

Yep, the new speedway season is now in full swing. I'm not sure that we'd like it as much as we do if it wasn't such a shambles.

If anyone sees Terry Russell, can you ask him to send the box of eggs that have been all over his face since the Abbey Farewell up to Manchester please?

Agree mate. That's riders today though. It should've been called off a couple of days ago by the Promotion as you know what you'll get from the riders nowadays. Nothing.

We were told at Brandon last night it was likely to be off. Can't believe they let everyone get there. Disgrace.

Sounds like a fiasco for opening night. Heard from a good source last night at Brandon that the meeting was in danger of being off due to bends 3 and 4, but assumed that it had been sorted as they'd let the fans turn up.

40-50. And that's if we ride well.
