Coventry_Bee Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Good to see a few more names on the list, I imagine this early on it's not easy to get riders. A lot of riders from good bees teams gone by but still we wait to see if the most successful Bees captain ever will be there. Hope the weather holds up, and it's a good meeting. He's has his critics but all in all he has always put Coventry first and put his body quite literally on the line.

mdmc82 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Rory Schlein, Olly Allen and Max Fricke announced. The line up has a very Coventry feel to it. I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 The line up has a very Coventry feel to it. I'm looking forward to it. Certainly does. I'm glad Fricke is in the line up, I'm a big fan of his despite that he's an Aussie! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Olly Allen - can't see that one convincing those unsure whether to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 The line up has a very Coventry feel to it. I'm looking forward to it. TBF, a rider having a testimonial for 10 years at Coventry is probably going to end up having lots of Coventry riders in it Olly Allen - can't see that one convincing those unsure whether to go. Oi, I like Olly Prefer to watch him ahead of a few other in the line up. No Scott Nicholls? I wouldn't hold your breathe waiting for that one to be announced It would be really nice if he did ride though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bees_Man Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Line up still feels a little lightweight compared to others. Would have loved to see a nicki pedersen / Gollob in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Line up still feels a little lightweight compared to others. Would have loved to see a nicki pedersen / Gollob in there I think most of these meetings have struggled to get quality involved this early in the season. I think this line up is decent as already said it has a Coventry feel to it and also has up and coming riders plus a few gp riders past and present. Two more to be named yet, wonder who they are.

gee jay Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 No Scott Nicholls? can't make it or not invited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studland Bee Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think Bomber for whatever reason has struggled to attract GP riders and other GB team mates. I really think the likes of Scott Nicholls and Tai Woofinden should be turning out for Bomber and supporting him on his big day. We all know that these meetings need the big names to be included, I just find it surprising that at least half the field are not GP riders. Anyway, I will be there, Bomber on his day still provides those breath taking passes and deserves good support for his service to Coventry and British Speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pick GP stars for the sake of it. It's no secret he's not great friends with Nicholls. I think it's a good line up and I'm looking forward to it.

Woz01 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bomber has already stated that he has tried to get riders that he has ridden with at club level. Two more riders still to be announced I wonder if he will name them at tomorrow's meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Harris said at last nights meeting that there are several riders that haven't even got back to him which I think is very rude. There's also now things happening in Poland that makes it harder. He said he wants the line up to be riders he's ridden with over the years and that he did invite Nicholls but he already has Poland and Belle Vue commitments that weekend. I personally like the line up and hope there is a big crowd. Harris has given a lot not only to Coventry bees but also when guesting for other EL teams in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
