Woz01 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Shared with who? No idea, we get priority on King and Garrity anyway so not needed. Seems a very strange one if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way it would work is if there is a rearranged fixture due to rain offs or if one of our double up riders get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both King and Garrity rode with injuries during last season so when not 100% we can put Barker in. Dont know why Barker would accept though as he isn't guaranteed any meetings! Also looking at the draft list I'm hoping we sign Roynon as our number 9 Edited February 26, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Roynon would be a good choice if cover for Sarjeant was needed. Keeps a Coventry feel to the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the reason for the change of date of the Bees v Kings Lynn meeting from the 8th to the 11th is because Kasprazak and Iversen would've been missing. Also now that Kings Lynn v Coventry is on the 6th April on Sky and not 24 hours later Bates will be available.

dj350z Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Apparently we've signed Barker in a shared d/u role. Not sure how that will work? Is this official then as there is nothing on the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Is this official then as there is nothing on the website? Seems it was said by Horton at the supporters meeting last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 So Barker will ride when Garrity can't?? Both as crazy as each other if you ask me!! Good job they are not riding together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job they are not riding together We get priority on Garrity thats why its strange. It must be to cover for injuries to Garrity and King, only thing that can make sense.

kingbee Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 We get priority on Garrity thats why its strange.

Shame we couldn't persuade Garrity to be a draft rider then couldve had Barker in the 1-5 with a strong reserve pairing again. If he could cover Woryna as well then that could make more sense as Woryna may have Polish commitments that clash. As I hoped Adam Roynon announced as our number 9.

T.N.T. Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Had Coventry persuaded Garrity to start as the fast track number 6 they could have signed two other riders for the main body like another six point rider (RIcky Wells sharing with Barker maybe) while Woryna could have been the number 8 or bought in another untried rider as the number 8 if Woryna isn't suited for the Elite League. Once Garrity had moved up they would have had a more solid top five and a stronger reserve pairing. As it is Coventry still have potential and if the real KK shows up they should be play off contenders and I hope to pop down a few times to see some matches. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 If KK can produce his form from 2010 then I would be very confident of a good season, having two big hitters in KK and Harris could be a big difference against other sides named. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty big if!!! Will be interesting to see how Coventry do really, as I think they will perform better on the track to how they look on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Pretty big if!!! Will be interesting to see how Coventry do really, as I think they will perform better on the track to how they look on paper. They look pants on paper. So many ifs about them. Their future rests on both Poles as far as I see it. Bomber will do what bomber does, king will do ok without improving that much whilst garrity will hold his own and likely be a heat leader after 4 meetings. Both reserves will have their moments despite looking one of the weaker pairings. So if KK can bounce back from a dismal year bees could be a top 4 outfit. If Wornya turns out to be half decent then the fans will be more than happy. Jury out for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he produces his 2010 form with Lakeside you had better start getting on the phone to Kenni Larsen right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 With press and practice this week, I would have thought Barker would have been announced by now if a deal was done. Looks like it's not happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
