Elite League Grand Final 1st Leg - Coventry Friday 17th October


Recommended Posts

Its strange but I actually feel more confident that we can win at Poole than tonight (although both would be great) esp now look at Poole's guests tonight compared to monday. King should do really well as riding as a second string and usually scores well at Brandon as a heat leader and Shamak of course always goes well around his home track.

The weather front coming in from the south west is looking rather dodgy abit like last night looking to arrive over Brandon about the same time as last night as well.

Hope it stays find for the next four or five hours.

Think it will be after 9.00, so as long as they get on with it, should be ok

Exactly, cut out gardening and faffing about at the tapes. Once at the tapes no turning around and travelling back down the track. False starts = 2 minute warning as soon as he red stoppage light goes on with the immediate return to the tapes, and pit gate kept closed. It would be fare to all as this would apply to both teams equally.

Agree totally with all that Mike, but it should be like that at EVERY meeting, not just tonight! There' no excuse for a meeting with just 15 minutes of actual racing to EVER take more than an hour and a half and really it should be done within an hour.

I am 3 miles from Brandon and no rain thankfully. A real test and big ask for Coventry tonight. I hope I am wrong, but still think Hansen is a weak link, and who knows with Ben Barker, he didn't come to the party under pressure in 2010. Hope its a classic and the riders stay safe. Have a good night everyone.

to be honest as much as i dislike matt ford, Poole are there on merit so may the best team over two legs win. the bigger issue is the state of speedway at the top and the severe lack of ideas to take the sport to a bigger audience and stop the farcical events we've had this season. so maybe its time for everyone to pull together to save OUR sport. lets just hope that the heirachy fall on there swords this coming winter and new fresh ideas come into force going forward.

 

lets hope for a safe and entertaining final

Maybe Coventry fans would turn up for every match, as they have tonight, if the promotion increased admission prices. Perhaps they begrudge paying a couple of quid less than they want and because of this, have been staying away in protest all season. I think at times this season (for example - every match), the SKY production team has outnumbered them. In fact, SKY commentary has...
