stevebrum Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Can Jason revert to being in the EDR draft? That might solve some problems for us if he and other promotors agreed. It seems some EDR riders have been added since the rules were set out. Only if you want Coventry to cheat. You can't suddenly be added when you are already racing at a higher level. This was Jason's choice to move up and Coventry decided to use him and not let anyone else use him. If you have the team build wrong from the start of the season that's the fault of the promotion. The issue Coventry will have all season long is having 2 weak draft riders and using protection for Sarjeant is the bigger issue. No team will win the league with weak reserves and that's where you're problem mostly is. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to improve the reserves, not should there be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I don't think you can just blame Horton and Watson a certain Mr Harris had input as well according to what he said in the star and other articles What's the lad done wrong then? I think he has been good value to watch and you can see he will improve. He was never going to come in and score 7,8's and 9's in the few meetings he has done. He is going to many places for the first time and around Brandon he has looked ok and unlike others doesn't look like he is going to fall off the bike every bend. I think somebody needs to have a word about over celebrating a second or third place though ... Ha ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyb Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) holy moly - just read the latest on the "official" bees site of the student admission policy being withdrawn due to it being "abused". Horton and Watson - you so so desperate and obviously on a different planet. You need bums on seats big time - so a student coming in for say 5 quid less than the the normal 17 quid rate men's you get 12 pounds of income, plus the potential of a programme sale, bag of crisps, maybe a pie and if you lucky, a glass of Coke. Now, master or miss student are gonna give you a miss - especially with the rubbishe you putting on show at present. I fifty plus, and the student policy means bugger all to me. Come on guys, get a life ! My edit - for rubbishe please read. S H I T and E. - anything less does not emphasise how bad things are.

heathen chemistry Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 if its being abused why should the promotion let folks in for a fiver when they should be paying full price..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 if its being abused why should the promotion let folks in for a fiver when they should be paying full price..... How is it being abused? They stated NUS card holder, if people have an NUS card then that gets them in for £5. Well it did. Another idiot up by Mick Horton and another knee jerk reaction.

Bees_Man Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) You know when it's shut down later this year I'm not actually going to be that bothered. Messers Horton and co along with the muppets at BSPA have killed the passion I had for the sport. Edited April 4, 2016 by Bees_Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another idiot up by Mick Horton and another knee jerk reaction. I will try and explain to you what is going on. Adults in full time employment are applying for part time courses on line and with those courses comes an NUS card. These adults have no intention of attending the courses and are applying for them with the sole purpose of cheating/stealing money off Coventry Speedway. How idiots on here can think this is perfectly OK is beyond me. Mick Horton should have put an age limit on the use of these NUS cards in the first place, say under 25, and this dishonest practice by a few petty thieves would not have occurred. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you are one of the supporters who has been benefiting from this £5 gesture to genuine students and does not like the idea of paying full price.

So, you've never heard of a mature student ? I went back into part time study (evenings only, whilst working) aged 27. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tells me if you introduce concessions there are always some low life people who will abuse it. By the way all children under 16 are still admitted free. Which other clubs offer this concession? So, you've never heard of a mature student ? I went back into part time study (evenings only, whilst working) aged 27. Of course I have heard of mature students but this concession was meant to encourage full time students, not people in full time employment. The people abusing the concession never went anywhere near a College or University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someone thinks they are getting away with a good scam they are unable to keep their mouth shut and it soon becomes common knowledge. Anyway the concession was aimed at FULL time students not mature students who worked during the day and occasionally attended a college at night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I'd be interested to see the Coventry definition of a 'concession'. I know adults that are a full time student. I was a full time student at 29. Surely it's not difficult to specify the qualifying criteria? Full time? Age related? University or college? Best bet is just to cheese everyone off whether they qualify or not, Great business sense. Edited April 4, 2016 by stevebrum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
