Dornier Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Worst bit of business Coventry ever did when they were forced into buying Kennett, a total waste of money. Should get our money`s worth out of Jason, well done to Mick ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Good news ,I don't see Kennett as being bad business tbh ,he has been loaned out a few times to offset the purchase price and now we have upgraded for a right little terrier.i am assuming it was a straight swap. Up the bees Edited February 14, 2015 by naffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up the bees Doubt very much it was a straight swap. I would imagine Mick had to top it up a bit . Dont have any idea how much loan fees are but I doubt very much they recouped the massive fee they paid for him...

SCB Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Doubt very much it was a straight swap. I would imagine Mick had to top it up a bit .Kennett is a proven performer. Garrity is potential. I'd imagine the two cancel each other out TBF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'd be happy with the swap if I were a Bee's fan... Only one of them is going to get better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benson30uk Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I would think Kennett and about £5000 would be right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Benson, you must be on the wind up. Kennet is the better rider by far at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Benson, you must be on the wind up. Kennet is the better rider by far at the moment.Lol. Did you ever watch him ride in EL for bees. Went from 8point average to a 5point one. aside from the cheating, Kennett only seems to be able to preform well for couple of months and then loses all form. Sadly he seems to be going backwards whilst Garrity is a young lad, keen to learn and keeps getting better. Look at last years British final Kennett scored 3 whilst Garrity scored 9 including race wins over Woffy & Kennett and a place in semi final.

philfromcov Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I watched Kennet do a passing move once... 1976 for white city pity it was his dad Always looked like he was going to but just never did 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Let's not re-write history. I'm not Kennett fan, never really was. But we signed him on 6.5 and he averaged about 8 that first season so that first season it was too hard to criticize. But he was frustrating, he used to buzz around the guy in front of him, going wide and trying to cut back but did he ever actually manage to pass anyone that way? He wasn't always bad and is a decent enough rider. But equally, he cheated, he cheated while riding as a Bee and I would prefer it if my club had as little an association with cheats as possible - especially those who's cheating cost us. I'm glad he's gone but don't make out he was always the anti-Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 It seems Horton and Hansen are in dispute over Kevlars. Hansen wants his money back but I always assumed riders get there money back when they are returned? I'd just pay him back, not worth the hassle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) mdmc82, instead of picking one meeting to argue your point, why don't you look at the Premier League averages. Think Garrity has the potential to become a better rider, & hope he does, but at the moment, the averages dont lie.

If he`s the better rider why`s he not in demand in the Elite League....I once saw Kennett do a wide Bomber type overtake on the 3rd and 4th bend I think he had to change his pants in the pits after, he never attempted it again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Garrity has the potential to become a better rider, & hope he does, but at the moment, the averages dont lie. Look at Kennetts averages and what you will see is how he has declined over the years. Kennett has a higher average cos he started on a higher one due to his then EL average. He has been around more years than Garrity and career is only going one way. Whilst we are talking about the PL Kennett managed to drop from 10.65 to 8.38 in the averages. Does that look like a improving rider? Whilst Garrity improved on his average, starting the season 5.31 and finishing it 6.75. So yes you have a point when you say look at their improvement in the PL, Garrity is the better rider It seems Horton and Hansen are in dispute over Kevlars. Hansen wants his money back but I always assumed riders get there money back when they are returned? I'd just pay him back, not worth the hassle. I assumed riders just kept them and didnt get money back once they are used, which is why some sell them on ebay Edited February 15, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a disgrace Mick. He is like a child taking a ball away from the playground, I expect my 3 year old to behave better. Surely it not another Coventry team I need to boycott because of owners?

Well toodle pip speedway well speedway being the multi million pound sport that it is, with a huge worldwide following and people falling over themselves to invest time and money just to be part of it. It can afford to alienate people left right and centre as there's a massive line of others just waiting to get involved. if only !! what a complete bell end Horton is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was thinking this myself. I might even invest in having my name on it for 40 quid. We're doing it, It's not a huge amount and it's nice to be able to contribute in some way... Does the guy not realise the damage he causes. Everything seemed so positive for the new season now this. As for contributing to the air fence - I'm out! Nice one Mick Horton 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
