Champion2010 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thought Fricke was replacing Barker. must be replacing Hansen or Howarth If Bees go from a full team to a team not only depleted but also with a lower end reserve when they would of had garrity on the Friday and 3point then I can't see many fans attending this. Its a guaranteed win for King's Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hopefully Mick is offering Uncle Len a wad of cash to let us use Jason. He is at Rye House tonight I'm guessing as Peterborough are there. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is at Rye House tonight I'm guessing as Peterborough are there. Fingers crossed! haha you must be drinking the same stuff as Ward Garrity's score tonight for Rye House was 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3 Really gonna miss him tomorrow Edited September 3, 2014 by mdmc82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanr1 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Massive own goal by the Bees management in moving this fixture, yes we would have lost a few fans to the footy but guess what... We will have a whole lot more not coming along now, and we've thrown away the chance of 3 league points. Let's hope those 3 points don't cost us a play off place or it will be an even bigger financial disaster for the club. The promotion need to realise that people won't turn out to watch a team full of guests & R/R, especially when it never had to be this way and especially when we are now likely to get stuffed in a meeting we could well have won. As I've said before I respect what Mick Horton does for the club and think he does a good job, but he's got this one very wrong. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.2881 So to confirm, the Bees management changed this fixture despite the fact we'd go from having a full 1-7 to only having 3 of our riders and now can't get enough guests? What a bloody shambles. Edited September 3, 2014 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bloody shambles. this is a disgusting way to treat the fans and also the riders who would have been racing on the Friday Not sure how Horton thinks we can afford to throw points away when still could forfeit 7 points with Wolves and Belle Vue not looking likely to be rearranged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenMiller Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Still no news on the remaining 2 guests.... this isn't looking good It will need a minor miracle for the Bees to come away with any points from this meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudtobeaBrummie Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Well there is a 4/5 of us brummies coming up or it until about an hour ago when I told them I'm not sure who's riding .. No nki for Lynn aswell just adds to the lack of enthusiasm for the fixture .. I'm still coming to watch my man Robert lambert but if not for that fact don't think I would of bothered ...

kenny bee firefly Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Still no news on the remaining 2 guests.... this isn't looking good It will need a minor miracle for the Bees to come away with any points from this meeting Hardly a miracle when you add in the points kings lynn will lose through no iversen and rose !! Not sure Fricke/robson/RR is any weaker than hansen/howarth/barker would have been !! Obviously Garrity will be missed but if his replacement can get 6/7 points bees should edge it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Lynn bang out of form and missing two key riders with inadequate replacements.....I wouldn't write Coventry off just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There the issue, you assume Garritys replacement will score 6/7. He might only score 2 or 3. Take away the 10-12 for Jason and add in 2-3 for the replacement and even if you assume we were going to win 50-40ish we're suddently losing 50-40ish.

orion Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Not sure who will replaced Garrity but you can see how hard it is to replace a top fast track rider when you see that Eastie are replacing Blackbird with Benji Compton v KL on sat .Come on the Stars by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 With a full bees team then think this would have been a easy home win. However with it looking unlikely that we will have a replacement able to score half of what Garrity does, plus no Howarth who has been brilliant at Brandon, I think this could be out first home loss in a while and points thrown away.

You would agree that the usual reserve partnerships (Garrity/sargeant vs Kerr/Rose) would more or less cancel each other out ?? You have to assume that the kid Stokes is going to find things tough at this level on a track he probably has never seen ! Even if kerr gets 11/12 sergeant and a.n.o should get 8/9 betweeen them ! Neils has scored 13 on his last 2 trips to brandon , would think nicholls will be 2 or 3 short of that !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
