Woz01 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 No it was 40.5 for this year . Thought so. So we have 6.1 available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Pointless making a change now. We've got to ride 3 meetings, 2 of which are winnable, without KK and with no facility so the season is over anyway. I thought it was only 2 without a facility (Leicester & Lakeside away) Which is the other? 😕 Surely something could have been done between clubs to avoid this. It can't be good for attendances either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma for you 👍 I don't remember you having to use a 6pt premier league rider to replace him as no facility? I'm sure you got a facility like other meetings and used another clubs number 1 who scored 8 for you. Hardly the same thing is it 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he won't do it for other teams, why should they do it for him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little different as we have no facility plus the club are not trying to change the fixtures like some do when they do have a facility. It's the organisation when the fixtures are announced that is baffling and all clubs are to blame for that. Plus we are at home for two of those so we could just postpone like Poole did v Lakeside.

There has been a few occasions especially when we are a Friday night track. Plus of course there isn't a lot of spare dates.

CB252 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Only guessing- lakeside home 19/8 Yes, can't see KK making a mad dash to Russia for the following days SEC round. Different facility but asking to change meetings is the same. If he won't do it for other teams, why should they do it for him?! Mick isn't asking anyone to change anything. He knows full well that crowd wise he'll be better running on a Friday without KK than running on an off night with him. Off night speedway is suicide at Brandon. Always has been.

Agrotron Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Horton and Havelock should just do one, Coventry need someone in with the drive and ambition to make it what it once was you won't go anywhere with those pair of toerags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havvy didn't have a lot of say in this team as he had his own problems & spent most of the winter in hospital or recovering. Horton has put together a strong top 3, However the reserve pick was very wrong (although Bates has really stepped up lately) and the signing of Woryna never made sense. Horton does seem to have given up on this season by not making the needed change. I do really hope we are back next year & this isn't the way we whimper out.

That's really what I mean, take Ford whilst I appreciate he is not everyone's cup of tea at least he makes changes and as shown this year there is no room in speedway for sentiment ie the Watt situation. Although one thing that peed me off is not including Starke in this years side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one thing that peed me off is not including Starke in this years side He has made changes in the past. However it's finding riders who want to come over. I'm sure if the top riders wanted to ride here then Poole wouldn't have signed Bjarne & Leicester would have made changes rather than signing Watt. Mads would be good if he fits for Woryna, depending on fixture clashes Edited July 17, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bee 26 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Shouldn't have signed Woryna in the first place, poor team building from the start and the league table reflects this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
