mdmc82 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 No Garrity or Howarth vs Lynn - you accept it vs Leicester as it's that or nothing but why mess up the Lynn meeting?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Not necessarily. Depends if Lynn want Coventry in the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 No Garrity and no Howarth. Where are Kenny Hansen loyalties or favourable contract ? Â His Danish team Slangerup race against Holsted in the same night. Â (Summers also unavailable as a decent guest) Â HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I assume if Thurs is rained off they could rerun on the Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Fever Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 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  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!

Sienna Ryan Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thats a shame. myself and friends were going to travel to Brandon on the 5th to watch this meeting. Â We can't do Thursday the 4th as away until then. Â Feel for bees fans going from a full team to key riders missing, shame as was really looking forward to this one. Â oh well, guess maybe go Lakeside V Poole instead now on 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference being the weaker team on the Thur Edited August 25, 2014 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Â 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. Â Not very fair on the bees or stars fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference being the weaker team on the Thur 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 ??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â 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.

Do you think,over the last month I reckon Newman,but that's only my opinion.Couple of max's in the El and doing well in the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
