Coventry 2016

Belle Vue have replaced Josh G with Ritchie Worrall and signed Steve Boxhall, so in my eyes they are weaker than last year and didn't win the league so why would they win the league now

 

Perhaps because Poole look a fair bit weaker than last year?

Jeremy Heaver on the Save Coventry Speedway page says they are not quite ready to announce new site but still intend to start 2017 at the new stadium.

Yeah.....right. We'll see.

Sadly Gemini , there are a good few embarassments to Leicester Speedway who make posts like this , the worst of them though for me , are the ones who knew nothing about speedway until beaumont park opened it's gates , but still quote the Ochiltree took away our stadium and other assorted untrue myths , I would like to say it's a small minority of idiots but i'm afraid it's not .

It's still a minority. I assure you most of us don't hold the same desire to see the end of Coventry. Don't tar us all with the same brush, I've been threatened by a Coventry fan at a meeting (for cheering a Leicester rider passing), I don't hold it against all Coventry fans

Ok, so put those races in front of a 1300/1500 gate instead of 5000+ with just a scattering of fans on back straight and corners. Take away the Dave Lanning commentary, grass, Ole Olsens interviews with Gary Newbon, replace the race suits with leather, and swap out the uprights for laydowns, and it isn't that much difference to today..
