Silver Cheetah Snr Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Have I missed it? Apologies I did look but couldn't find it. Update: - Looked again and didn't realise it was in the post-hearing statement. Maybe his presence counter-balanced that of the Chairman?! Even when you admit you were wrong you still have to defend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Once again, speedway fans being used as a cash cow.[/quote Next they will want a donation towards team changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Let's not forget the club lost a lot of money being forced to run the meeting and fines wouldn't even be an issue if it was postponed. Will have put a donation in? I will maybe put a small one in just for the reason above. They shouldn't ask directly though. I think they are right appealing if they truly believe they have a case, about time some clubs put their foot down. If possible I will ask about this at Thursdays meeting about the stadium, how much loss was made and what exactly are they appealing.

SteveLyric2 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Even when you admit you were wrong you still have to defend it Not sure how Mr Pairman could have a conflict of interest? Poole did nothing wrong and were not otherwise represented at the hearing. Of the 4 other SCB panel members, 2 are from the ACU - the very same body that Coventry are now intending to appeal to!!! I just don't understand the logic in appealing against a rule that was clearly broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Coventry were once upon a time a respectable club. Not during or since the winter of discontent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Me neither. Swindon always worry me as they seem to be our 'bogey' team. Still, looking on the bright side I do get to see my Robins friends from Basingstoke who I'm sure will be making the trip up to Brandon. Swindon do have a good record at Brandon, although the Bees have had a few decent results at Blunsdon as well since the Robins returned to the Elite 11 years ago. Should be getting much better attendances at Blunsdon with massive catchment area...Basingstoke/Reading/Oxford/Bristol/Bath/Gloucester/Cheltenham etc., all within 40-miles of the Wiltshire track etc., Edited July 21, 2015 by haydon hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I buy two season tickets every year that is my right and my choice. Who do these "supporters" think they are criticising genuine Coventry supporters!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full-throttle Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Doh. It's quite simple really, the cub and riders have been penalised financially. If you wish to help then do so, if you don't then keep your wallet/purse shut. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 No issue whatsoever appealing the charge and subsequent fine. Obviously no chance getting the meeting replayed but the charge and fine is harsh considering the inspection didn't happen as agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Assuming Coventry finish top, who will u pick for the playoffs? Aces, kl or try to get poole out of the way in the semis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Assuming Coventry finish top, who will u pick for the playoffs? Aces, kl or try to get poole out of the way in the semis? Belle Vue I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Be a cracker if they do, last time we met home and away it was all equal after 29 heats with the Aces then just missing out. Sky should love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Coventry were once upon a time a respectable club. Oh dear. What a disgrace to go cap-in-hand begging online. If a certain Poole promoter resorted to this low sink I would say goodbye. Words fail me reading their statement. But I will try a few.....shocking, foul, humiliating, degrading...etc. If this were the armed forces the promotion would have been cashiered. Disgraceful. Well it sounds like Coventry might not be around much longer so perhaps you will be happy then. When that happens and a few more promotions decide they have had enough Poole can ride in the European League then! Not during or since the winter of discontent! ..........and I wonder why that is? It needed a few more promotions with a backbone at the time to stand up to bully-boytactics and maybe the sport would not be in the mess it is now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces, kl or try to get poole out of the way in the semis?ask me again end of next month.Still a long way to go before we know if it will be Coventry or Poole having first pick. Also won't know until nearer if Belle Vue,King's Lynn or Swindon will be joining them in the play offs. For neutrals its a good think none of these things are decided already with a lot of fixtures still to come.
