Coventry V Poole Friday 20th June.


Recommended Posts

With the Poole side, as I've already stated Magic has this fixture in his calendar and he races in the later (evening) GP Qualifier on Saturday in Gorican.

 

Pawlicki and Milik are both in the earlier (afternoon) Qualifier in Poland. Practice for either meeting is NOT compulsory, so I guess it just depends on flights and pressure from the Polish and Czech authorities.

 

For the Bees Hans is in the Gorican meeting and Bomber in the Polish one, so I guess its all up in the air?!

I'm always suspicious when speedway promoters are quiet. It usually means they are covering up bad news.

Surely they have spoken to their riders about their plans, and surely they have sourced guests by now.

Then why are they keeping quiet? Probably having seen the line up's they don't fancy the meeting themselves. :sad:

As a neutral (with a Bees bias I suppose), I'm just looking forward to seeing a Speedway meeting.

 

I understand how people feel but what, in reality, can either promoter really do in this instance other than to re-arrange it?

 

If their fixture list is correct, Cov still have to re-arrange EL(A) home meetings against Eastbourne and Birmingham. Yes, I can understand people saying "ride an alternative race night if there are insufficient Fridays", but then you may still have similar problems if riders are unavailable through their other commitments for teams abroad.

 

Of course it isn't an ideal situation. But it is what it is. You just have to get on with it.

I can't imagine any team news until tomorrow earliest, all i can say is that Howarth definately won't be there.

I am sure Neil Watson said over a week ago that the Bees team was already sorted, so it can only be Howarth's replacement that needs sorting.

Coventry vs. Poole - the most looked forward to in the season and we end up with a Coventry Select vs Poole Select.

 

Speedway supporters mugged off YET again.

 

At least the reduced admission price for the meeting means Horton still gets a decent crowd.

 

Oops, sorry, there is no reduced admission, so he gets the crowd he deserves !

 

Happy days

 

What the hell do I know !!!

 

Fantastic gestures from both Hans and Chris in making the line-up for this Friday.

Just shows the sprirt that the team has this year.

 

(Chris is setting a precedent for himself now and reckon no way Hans would have done the same

in his Swindon colours of last year !)

 

Fans appreciate these efforts and the reactions of the crowd last Friday was the best I seen for

a long long time, which am sure will be the same or better this week.

 

Not going to miss this now - having originally been a definate no show before -

Now seen the line-up including Jacobs and Summers, so reckon could be a great spectacle - hope the

track is prepared well enough to justify the fixture.

(just a pity Jason not available !)

 

Happy days

As far as Hans is concerned-practice in Gorican isn`t until 3pm local so will easily make that with an early am flight out on Saturday morning.

Maybe so but the DMU agreement is the Danes get 2 days before a meeting off. Fair play to Hans for forgoing that "offer" and choosing to ride for the Bees. It's actually nice to have a top 2 that want to ride for their team when the rules allow them to not do so if they wish.

 

I hope Hans, Bomber and Milik all have good meetings Friday and Saturday.

Why would average riders like Hans and Bomber miss out on a payday to ride in a practice for an event they have no chance of qualifying for next season? Very sensible IMO rather than loyal!

 

And as for Bomber in the GPs there is zero chance he would be missing practice and riding for Coventry if he had any hope of making the top 8.
