Coventry V Poole 1/6/15


Recommended Posts

As I've said tracks can prep the track the way they want to. Sky DONOT have a say in track prep. FACT..........

Then why were Coventry not allowed on Monday? It's been confirmed that they couldn't even by Pearsen who said it was due to weather forecast by yet making the track the way they did and still trying to sort it 5mins before start time didn't help.

Yet Havvy, when interviewed at the start of the meeting, said quite clearly that Terry - the regular trackman - had worked tirelessly all day to get the track fit to race!!?

 

That probably meant getting it fairly slick so that it could take a bit of rain, but when the Bees riders did their track walk around 6.15pm they saw it wasn't to their liking and got Terry to put some of the shale back and to churn up the starts - just before it started raining!!!

Is was confirmed by your own team manager that your trackman had done a great job on the track ..Are you calling him a liar ? .

As that wise old sage, David Brent, once said 'some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue'.

 

Now stop bleating...you are sounding like an extremely sore loser. Move on.

Sounding like a paying fan that was robbed. Easy for people to judge when they weren't there.

That was early on before the track was ripped back up and the heavy rain came

@BBCcovsport: Mick Horton tells @BBCcovsport that Coventry Bees could pull out of Elite League at the end of the season. More in Tapes Up from 6

Horton on Poole meeting row: "We're very disillusioned. It was a huge meeting. Financially it was a huge loss for the club. It's not right"

 

If he doesn't want to run it anymore, I wonder if anybody else would step in?

Probably a stunt to get the crowds in for the rest of the season.

You've got to prepare the track to suit conditions. When you have a forcast like they had you cannot put bowsers loads of water down, you prepare the track to get the meeting ON, that comes first and formost.

Mick Horton has the current lease agreement to run speedway at Brandon - at whatever level he chooses. If however he chooses to walk away I'm not sure any other (potential) promoter would agree to take it on with such a short lease agreement. Very sad situation.

 

Doubtless more info on this evening's 'Tapes Up' programme on BBC Cov & Warwicks!!

If he has indeed lost thousands which suspect he has then I don't blame him. Who would want to throw money away at something you have no control over. Crowds have been decent enough this season but last week meeting will now likely mean we will be running at a big loss for the season. That cannot be right or good for the sport.
