I should think it will also be a major subject in Monday night's annual 'Tapes Up Forum' on CWR. 6:00 pm to 7:00. You will be able to 'Listen Live' and also contribute via text questions to the panel which includes Mick Horton & Laurence Rogers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbccoventryandwarwickshire ATB Dave

The YELLOW (Nathan Greaves) exclusion light definitely came on during the race although I cannot say for sure at what stage the race was actually stopped. ATB Dave

A number of the clubs do keep their own records, using the same KanDysoft Spreadsheet as the BSPA. ATB Dave

Coventry Press Release: COVENTRY are pleased to announce they will honour Birmingham Speedway season tickets for the remainder of the regular Elite League season. The Perry Barr club has regrettably closed for 2014 after attempts to ensure they could continue racing proved unsuccessful, and Coventry wish to give the loyal Brummies fans at least some consolation and value for their financial outlay over the winter. The Buildbase Bees have nine home fixtures remaining, and Brummies season ticket holders will be welcomed with free admission for those meetings. Our next Elite League meeting is this Friday (July 18) against Belle Vue. Match programmes (and admission to play-off meetings if appropriate) will be chargeable at the usual prices. To take advantage of this offer, please send an e-mail to info@coventrybees.co with your name, address, category of season ticket and your season ticket number. These details will be collated and a list placed at the Bees’ usual season-ticket entrance so that your name can be ticked off when you arrive at Brandon.

Hey! If you are going to slag something off, as being bloody garbage, at least have the courtesy to spell it right! ATB Dave

THERE will be another hour of speedway chat on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire this Monday at 6pm. Broken collarbone victim Oliver Greenwood will be in the studio to talk about his season so far and give an update on his injury. In addition, there are interviews with Ryan Fisher and Kenneth Hansen after Friday's meeting, Phil Morris discusses the World Under-21 Team Cup and Peter York reflects on his most memorable meeting. Tune in on 94.8, 103.7 and 104FM or on bbc.co.uk/Coventry. If you contact CWR, hopefully Wayne will be able to publicise the event. ATB Dave

From Bees Website:- COVENTRY supporters are advised to tune in to BBC Coventry & Warwickshire this evening at around 6.30pm. Buildbase Bees promoter Mick Horton will be live on Phil Upton's show with some exciting news, and full details will also follow on the website. You can listen on 94.8, 103.7 and 104FM, or on bbc.co.uk/Coventry. ATB Dave

I believe that in these instances a Promoter can chose which rider is nominated as the higher if it affects Heat Leader or Reserve positions. Once the choice is made, it cannot be changed. ATB Dave

Now that's what I call a great idea! Shouldn't think the gates would be too much of a problem as the three remaining riders would have a 'staggered' start with more room to manoeuvre. ATB Dave

Ooops! ATB Dave

The key now is the fact that the Cut-Off date has been passed. Hansen's 23rd May Average is 5.75. Fisher's is 5.42. Too late to bring in Kenni without making other changes too. ATB Dave

My apologies if I am wrong, but I thought the Top 5 averages (for Team Building) were limited to 32 points? At 23rd May cut-off date, Coventry's total is 30.73.

But Larsen is 7.26, Coventry do not have two points spare for team building. ATB Dave

Unless you brought Kenni (7.26) in as straight swap for Hans, who are the TWO riders you would drop to bring Kenni + AN Other? ATB Dave

To get round a ban, would riders only need to ask the DMU etc. to 'order' them to take part? ATB Dave PS. Typo on your innovative EL Scorecard..... Sub(s)titute above Heat 9.

More like the other way round! The actual template we now use can cope with any number & combination of matches. ATB Dave

28 for Elite League (even though there are 36 League Matches) 24 for PL (Includes League Cup this year) ATB Dave

I wonder if Emil is going to take part in GP Qualifiers for 2015? The way he has withdrawn from this season's series is hardly likely to guarantee him a Wild Card place whenever his advisers say that it is OK for him to return to the GP's. ATB Dave

Ricky Wells, until his purchase by Wolves one or two years ago. (Not sure which year) ATB Dave

So now you DO want to reduce the QUALITY? ATB Dave

Link to the Greyhounds statement:- http://covdogs.com/ “We have been told that Coventry Stadium is to be sold and believe that developers are involved in the purchase. Our lease expires in about two and a half years and though Mr Sandhu, our landlord, has done all he can to support us we have no assurances that we can obtain an extension of that lease. Our strategy has always been to develop a strong betting product for sale to media, but with no long term guarantees we have little prospect of signing any contracts, and can therefore no longer support the significant financial losses. Reluctantly, therefore, we will be closing the greyhound operation after the meeting on Saturday night. We would like to thank all trainers and staff who have supported us over the past 2 years, particularly Harry who has worked tirelessly to promote our business at his own personal expense.” ATB Dave

A bit alarmist methinks! Nobody has said that Speedway will not see out it's current lease! (At least two year's remaining) Should make for an interesting 'Tapes Up' programme on BBC CWR on Monday evening. ATB Dave

It depends how you define QUALITY. We've all seen pretty dull races between the so called top riders, and one of the BEST races I can ever recall was between James Sarjeant and Dan Greenwood last season in the NL Pairs. Now that was a QUALITY race! ATB Dave

So Mr Holder and the like get their way with fewer meetings in Britain, so that they have more time for lucrative European meetings? What about the other riders, with no European meetings? How are they supposed make a living? ATB Dave
