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

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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

URGENT MESSAGE TO COVENTRY BEES STAFF - Do not like Kenneth Kruse Hansen's latest post re his race suit or you may be sacked by Mick Horton like Me !! Shame Mick wasn't so on the ball at the dinner dance when I made a 3 hour round trip with 2 recently bereaved children only to find out he's completely missed us off the table plan or book the room he's agreed for us. Instead we killed 2 hours in McDonalds then I DJ'd the night completely free of charge for him. Well toodle pip speedway :)10432154_10205822680625357_7481056301339

After reading about this I'm disgusted. How sensitive can someone be? 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? Up the Wasps....

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.

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... :t:

 

 

 

 

 

Does the guy not realise the damage he causes. Everything seemed so positive for the new season now this. :rolleyes:

 

As for contributing to the air fence - I'm out!

 

Nice one Mick Horton :nono:
