Coventry V Cradley Nl Koc Sf 26/9/14

[Ommer Mon]

A heavily depleted Heathens team travel to Brandon tonight. No Starke, Worrall or Williamson. Joe Jacobs and Layne Cupitt are guesting with R/R operating.

 

Fingers crossed that Joe and Tom Perry don't have any mishaps in the first half of the double Header where the Bees face the Dog Heads.

 

Healthy win for the Storm but 35 points should prove too much to claw back even against a short handed Heathens side.

Not Tom or Max's favourite track.Easy win for Coventry but not by 36+....I hope

[SCB]

Sounds like the season ticket holders who were made to pay a fiver really got there moneys worth. May have lost 5 heats but saw a mass brawl.

[Yikes]

So what happened

[crazysue]

Not very good stuff apparently....

[phillipsr]

Usual Cradley i see. Disgraceful club and fans

[mdmc82]

Nathan Grieves is a animal thats whats happened. Started a fight with Sarj because he had to be warned 3 times to move out of Sarjeants gate. He is squaring up to the crowd and there has been a huge punch up which has left a mechanic injured and ambulance needed.

 

Nathan is a disgrace and should be ashamed, Horrible to watch. Even his own fans looked shocked and are booing him.

Hopefully he will face a ban

Both teams are as bad as each other. Doesn't matter who started what whoever gets involved are just as bad as them and should be banned and fined but of course as always the Cradley lot will try and make out their perfect and they never do anything wrong like always.

I take it you were there ?, so far NO reports of this being started by fans, so please put the Tar and Brush away..

[Sir Jasper]

After all these years, Cradley are still not causing trouble....

Problem is that over the MANY years you have amassed such a massive number of brushes, you ought be sponsored by B&Q.

 

Heathens by name, Heathens by nature.

We need the brushes to clean all the trophies

Only a rider from one team leapt over the barrier flaying into the crowd so no, both teams are not equally to blame. Cradley supporters right next to me were goading Storm riders.

Wearing your usual 'impartial' hat then?....not sure if your the best person to report on this as you love to blame everything other than your own club

[Hunty]

Ive just returned from the meeting and have to say I am shocked, embarrassed and overwhelmed at what I have just seen!

 

I would like to put on record that to all the Heathens, Coventry and Wolves fans at the meeting should be applauded. Yes things were shouted and people may have been gouded but what happened after heat 10 could have easily set the crowd into a mass brawl.

 

Ive only followed speedway for 3 years im a newbie but my dad has quoted that fistycuffs are part and parcel of the sport but what I saw tonight was some of the worst scenes of violence I have ever whitnessed.

 

I will be writing a letter to my beloved club about what happened tonight and I hope that our riders are punished and disaplined accordingly, and also to the Storm riders and all the mechanics

Did you actually witness what you have reported?

[markyb]

 

All makes for an interesting Coventry vs Swindon heat 2 on Monday - with Mr Sarjeant and Mr Grieves.

 

Are you sure it wasn't a Horton arranged publicity stunt to try and draw local boxing fans in too ?

[teaboy279]

From various texts i have received tonight from a couple of heathens fans it sound to me like sarjaent probably due severe punishment for leaving bike in dangerous place, fighting, and pushing greaves bike over. Greaves a severe punishment for fighting and squaring up to fans. Danny Phillips possibly the worst offence in pulling a rider off of his bike when he was riding back to pits. And an unnamed rider from storm has allegedly run over a heathen mechanic.

Those seem to be the must serious offenders but sounds like there are not many riders who are guilt free.

Could certainly change the whole complection of the play off picture if the Bspa act decisively and promptly.

All the shenanigans have over shadowed the fact that British under 19 champion Oliver Greenwood is in hospital with a suspected broken leg. Hopefully that proves not as serious as feared.
