TheSmiler Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well providing the weather holds out this could be the only chance we see the Bees racing this season. Could well be a very close meeting. But all will depend on who rides for who. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Harris and Batchelor will both be missing due to GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 A lot will depend on the guests for Harris and Batch. Hopefully Mads for Bomber. I think the Bees can sneak a win here. the reserves should be good for 12-14 points, Howarth rode there last season so 7 is not unreasonable. Fish should get 8 just beating reserves and second strings so if hansen can get 4 or 5, while Hans should be good for 12. Add in the guest scoring a few. A Bes win by 8. And for Stevebrum, obviously Swindon could win too, or it could be a draw, or the Bes could win by an amount not 8. Or it could be rained off or called off for some other reason.

Isn't mads average to high to guest for Harris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmiler Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Isn't mads average to high to guest for Harris? Harris is 6.82, Mads is 6.97. I think under the rules he just fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Harris is 6.82, Mads is 6.97. I think under the rules he just fits. Its a +5% so so i guess that fits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Harris is 6.82, Mads is 6.97. I think under the rules he just fits. As the 5% + is for the home team only -I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliant Robin Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Would rather have Doyley if he's available. Initially thought the same, but sure I read somewhere that part of his visa conditions are that he can't race for anyone else but Leicester, even as a guest.

A ORLOV Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Who knows what guests can ride, or if Jason can ride for us or not. With Bombers average the options for Coventry do seem limited. On the green sheets you have two lots of averages for many riders, no idea which one they use. Both Nick and Steve Worrall had good performances over the last few days, Nicolai and Simon hopefully can do better than they did at Lakeside. Will have to see how Steve manages with this new system and how Darryl copes at Swindon. Hans is capable of a top score and Kyle Howarth rode here last year, Fish can also score well, but Coventry have not yet had a meeting. The choice of guests or the use of rr will be interesting, at the moment no idea which way this meeting will go.

Yep I believe thats true. Id have Mikkel Bech as guest for Harris he has started the season very well.

Chalkie Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well we'll probably get to hear on the day of the meeting! It was interesting to read that Rosco got caught out in guest selection for Worrall at Lakeside because he didn't give two months notice, even though he would have known about Worralll's absence a long time ago when the fixtures confirmed that Edinburgh had a challenge match on Friday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
