Case closed. Move on.

Thanks for reminding us of that!

I wasn't digging at Poole, more the rule. All teams would do the same, dosnt make it right. The fact it was in front of the sky cameras where the exposure is greater dosnt look good on them.

On reflection who were the winners and losers at last nights debacle? Winners: Poole speedway - they got maximum points for an away meeting without completing the meeting? Erm....... Losers: Coventry Speedway - lost gate revenue, lost points, disgruntled fans....... Poole speedway (yes I have put them in both) - they did what any other team would have done in the same position and forced the result. Sadly it was on live TV, thus demosnstrating a win at all cost attitude that dosnt go down well with the rest of the speedway fans. Coventry riders - placed at risk by incompetent match officials, loss of earnings, unable to provide entertainment Poole riders - placed at risk by incompetent match officials, loss of earnings, unable to provide entertainment Sky - appalling embarrassing coverage. Watching Pearson and Tatum being buffeted by driving rain and Gail forced winds said it all. Who's going to bother watching next time! BSPA - farcical rules, conditions and meeting management. Even FIFA would do a better job. The paying public - for those hardy fans who attended they have been the biggest losers. Paying full price to watch an off race night meeting that should never had ran then be called off after seeing a handful of below national league standard races. All credit to those that went, I bet many will think against it next time multiplying the impact on an already suffering Coventry Speedway (threat of closure). Whoever is responsible be proud of yourselves, you may have got what you wanted but Know one else did. And they call it entertainment. No doubt as Pearson and Tatum kept saying, there's plenty of great meetings coming up live on Sky, starting at Poole Wednesday. Good luck to them all, let's hope the weathers good.

Coventry Storm V Kent Kings - Friday 15th May - 7.30pm
Brandon replied to NeilWatson's topic in National League Speedway
Tough ask for the Storm tonight but they will give it a good go. This league isn't all about winning, it's about blooding the youngsters too. With the weather nice get behind them tonight Bees fans. -
Birds And The Bees (ok. Bees V Robins)
Brandon replied to full-throttle's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Rains not a good idea Gemini, we'd have a whinging Aussie and SCB -
Leicester?
-
Give Hans a break. We're top of the league by a mile whilst he's out of form. It a tough position at no.1, he may have been doing better guesting elsewhere but Christ give the guy a break. Rough with the smooth guys, let's give the guy a chance to ride himself out of the dip especially whilst we're top of the league. This team isn't all about what's going on on track you know!

Lakeside V Coventry Friday 1/5/15

Why is this not at Brandon, the Friday night race night? -
King's Lynn V Coventry 29th April
Brandon replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Probably a daft question, do guest meeting scores affect riders averages? Hard meeting for the Bees but they kept plugging away. Had JKs engine not gone and Robson not lost count after 2, we would have got a point. No shame in loosing at Kings Lynn. Better than a draw at home -
The Mighty Bees Vs Belle Vue 24/04/15
Brandon replied to Game On's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I thought the atmosphere was flat again. Not having the start line jingles, modern music and a capable DJ/compare dosnt help. What has happened to Andy Williams as well? Having said that, the meeting was ran at a good pace. That seemed to encourage a few more to stay behind for the MDL meeting. Comfortable win for the Bees. Agree heat 15 was an odd call, though we don't know why Havvy went with Jk and Danny. Should always be trying to win the last race, it rounds the evening off. -

Coventry V Leicester 20 March Emb 2nd Leg
Brandon replied to TMW's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Fancy the Bees to bounce back tonight. The Lions will keep it close though. Jamrog to get a race win too -
Dear o dear. It's a challenge meeting, first meeting of the year and missing our No1 so didn't expect us to win. But that was a total tonking! Unacceptable performance especially against your local rivals. RR - was a waste of time. Condolences to Hans. Robson - was not at the races. May not like the track but he's been around long enough now to at least compete. King - only heat winner but faded fast. Jamrog - the Thompson twins looked more assured. I know people will say give him time, but on this performance it's time to go! Harris - no race wins but still the best Bee on display. If he could gate.......... Garrity - plenty of fight and a great tussle with Wozniak. Sarjent - gave it a go but like the rest was behind the two Lions before the first turn. fair play to Leicester they gated and raced when needed. They have a solid team this year and with Auty at reserve they will always be in contention. Let's see how we do in the return leg. #notveryhappy

Leicester V Coventry Emb 15 03 2015 12:00 Start
Brandon replied to TMW's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Jamrog to score a max -
Just put £5 on the Bees @ 22/1 and £5 on Zagar @ 14/1 for the GP.
-
Well that signings a bit left field. It's a gamble but worth a try and we get to see a fresh face
-
Still no news? If it is Klindt surely it would have been a done deal by now? Does that mean we are waiting for Poole to announce their final lineup on Monday and the rider we have would give away their team? Could it be Milik or Shamek?
-
Maybe at their request were waiting for other teams to announce their line ups first. Protocol and all that?
-
Still think there's more chance
-
I'd love to Shamek back but think there's more chance of Summers
-
Also please keep off Andy William's version of 'May Each Day....' as we are leaving the stadium at the end of the night's racing. Love that. I can't leave until it's played
