Wow! We asked and they listened.

 

Does this mean the Simpsons are back, that's how I read it, but more to the point is Yorkie still going to be on the middle. I know the older brother did the centre for the storm last year.....

Please?!

COVENTRY will have revamped meeting presentation in effect for Elite League matches, starting with tonight's clash with Swindon.

 

The meeting will also see the return of the post-match disco in the under-stand bar, hosted by Chris Simpson, with opportunities to meet and greet the riders when time and circumstances allow.

 

We have looked to respond to feedback, and we hope supporters enjoy the changes when they are in force tonight.

Well no matter what we get tonight (weather dependant) it's a step in the right direction it seems.

 

Refreshing to get a club that takes the feedback and does something with it.

 

Thumbs up from me, well done Mick and co.

I think its disgraceful the way some fans are getting excited at the possibility of Peter York being replaced and the constant criticism of him.. have any of you ever been a centre green announcer at a speedway meeting? Speedway is dangerous and bikes have been known to fly across the centre green/tarmac. Peter York puts his life on the line to entertain you fans.

Never mind, if we can get someone a bit younger to do the job he should be able to run faster and dodge those flying bikes :D

That is a good point, I hadn't considered ensuring the safety of the presenter. Perhaps Mr York and other presenters, for their own safety, should be given a test to ensure they can react and move quick enough should a bike fly towards them. This could take place at the start of each meeting.

 

Perhaps take 20 volunteers from the stands, give them eggs and they throw them at the announcer. If he dodges them all, he keeps the job.

Perhaps the centre green man should be provided with a skate board to improve his mobility. :D

I may regret asking this, but what is wrong with Peter York? Only seen him present 3-4 meetings, but seems decent enough for me.

Better than the dude at King's Lynn who appears to only shout, better than the arsewipe at Wolves.

 

So what gives? Am I missing something?

We are planning a new system which will feature presentation from both the centre-green and the pits throughout the evening, with official results still coming from the box. Chris Simpson will be on the centre-green with Peter York conducting interviews from the pits.

The meeting will also see the return of the post-match disco in the under-stand bar, hosted by Chris Simpson, with opportunities to meet and greet the riders when time and circumstances allow.

We have looked to respond to feedback, and we hope supporters enjoy the changes when they are in force tonight.
