NeilWatson Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 COVENTRY will stage the first leg of the Elite League Grand Final at Brandon on Friday October 17 (7.30pm). The Buildbase Bees will face Poole or King's Lynn but plans for the first leg to take place this Monday have been thwarted by two postponements of the other semi-final at Wimborne Road. The Pirates and the Stars are now due to resolve their tie on Wednesday, with the first leg of the Final 48 hours later. The second leg will take place at either Wimborne Road or the Norfolk Arena on Monday October 20th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studland Bee Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Neil, maybe you or Mick could give the Coventry Supporters an update on the clubs future in light of the recent developments around a proposed planning application for housing on the Brandon site. What are the club doing to fight this ? the supporters are now acting in various ways. What is the future of the club should the development receive backing from Rugby Planning Authority ?

noggin Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 If I was Bees management I'd be concerned at my riders guesting Just 2 days before a Final, risky to say the least, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbobee Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Little bit off post but still relevant to the Grand Final I guess - but does anyone know why Kyle Howarth can ride like a super hero when in Bees colours and like a PL second string when in Comets colours? Is he on different bikes ( ie : is he loaned a bike or two when riding for the Bees ) ??? Hope he still has the super hero costume on for the Play Offs !!!

Steve0 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah bit crazy allowing them to guest, one injury and then it's game over! Unlike Poland, you don't get a say on whether or not they can guest for anyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The way this is going it could mean that this meeting is the season opener for both clubs in 2015. Poole might have Ward back by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Barrett Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 No. It will be changed to a "3 team tournament", all in the fairness of the sport!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvinht Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lets just keep it simple, Stars and Pirates are both struggling to put a full team together due to injures and bans. Scrap the 2nd leg of the semi and let a combined Stars/Pirates team take on Coventry in the final. If KL and Poole win then they share the league championship...simples....

And when you think its raining tonight and tomorrow, Dogs on Tuesday, forcast of rain Wednesday Thursday, so maybe friday.. As somebody else suggested, a doubleheader, but i don't think that would be fair on KL us or the fans hanging around in the cold, do you?

jimmy jimmy Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Totally lost interest since the other semi couldn't/wouldn't be completed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) The forecast for Poole on Wednesday isnt THAT bad according to Met Office. Dry until 1 then rain until the evening. Get covers on it in the morning and it will have a chance. Edited October 13, 2014 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Totally lost interest since the other semi couldn't/wouldn't be completed Quite agree, with multiple guests and postponements its difficult to maintain enthusiasm tbh which is a great shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Poole need to put the covers down and get the meeting on as evening on wed is okay. If they were told it would be awarded a walkover to kings Lynn they would soon do it. Weather looking good for Brandon on Friday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
