Coventry Vs Kings Lynn now Sept 4th - Empty Stadium ?


Recommended Posts

This fixture has now been changed from 5th (when we had a full team) to 4th when without Garrity & Howarth (and poor guest choices)

thats 3 points thrown away!

 

No need to worry about that - Coventry would have to lose 2 or 3 home meetings and Swindon win 2 or 3 away for them to finish 3rd in table and Coventry will still make play-offs anyway in 4th!!

 

Not necessarily. Depends if Lynn want Coventry in the play offs :P:shock::P

 

Lynn need to win there if they want to be sure of finishing top of the table though so I doubt there'll be any favours!

Where are Kenny Hansen loyalties or favourable contract ?

 

His Danish team Slangerup race against Holsted in the same night.

 

(Summers also unavailable as a decent guest)

 

HD

 

Danish meeting was first so we will now miss Garrity, Howarth and Hansen against a full strength Lynn side.

 

Was looking forward to seeing Garrity V Kerr but now it will be Kerr V a rider 16th or below on the list

 

not a lot of options for Hansen either

Thats a shame. myself and friends were going to travel to Brandon on the 5th to watch this meeting.

 

We can't do Thursday the 4th as away until then.

 

Feel for bees fans going from a full team to key riders missing, shame as was really looking forward to this one.

 

oh well, guess maybe go Lakeside V Poole instead now on 5th

Will Lynn be at full strength? Got to say either go speedway for 17 quid or CCFC return to Coventry for tenner? Gives fans the option to go to both now which wasn't the case before.

yes Lynn at Full strength.

 

Bees miss Garrity (with not many guests available) Howarth and Hansen

Marvellous, I can't go now.

same here

 

 

Judging by Twitter, there are a lot of King's Lynn fans and Bees fans that were looking forward to this but can not longer go.

 

Myself and Sister will still be going but my friends from work are not able to come on the Thur

 

Think whilst date has been changed to stop crowds being low on Friday 5th, they could end up being very low on the 4th. Only difference being the weaker team on the Thur :(

While I don't get why the Coventry promotion changed this if they have all those riders missing,but why would you have a rider 16th or below to replace Garrity?

Because Horton was worried about his attendance. He thinks all the fans who turn out every week to watch speedway would go to watch mid table CCFC instead. a lot of people in Coventry don't even support football or Coventry team or they live outside of coventry. and what about the thought for the away fans?

 

What we now have is a depleted side and still a huge loss in attendance plus unhappy fans that now miss out, all because some fans may have gone to the Ricoh.

there seem to be more than 1/3 of fans that were going Friday that can not make the Thur so Horton will end up with lower attendance on the Thursday than if he had kept it on the Friday.

 

Not very fair on the bees or stars fans

I know of 5 supporters who work shifts at JaguarLandRover wont be going now .. Very odd thing to do by Mr Horton ..Least he could have done is consult the fans first !! Then it emerges its going to be half a team .. WHATS THE REAL REASON ???

Isn't Newman,Wright and Starke available for Garrity.Although the list should change in September and I would expect Newman to go higher than Garrity.

Garrity has been in better form than Newman!

 

Yes all would be available but that doesn't fit with some people argument. As I said earlier it's right financially to change the date although the date it's changed to does baffle me.
