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.

Pah, Horton thought it was fine that we rode without Holder at Brandon in the A meeting, so he can't complain! Lol. 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 🙄

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?!

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.

Not much point in postponing though is there? Will make no difference to the season.

We wouldn't anyway to be honest. 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.

Only guessing- lakeside home 19/8

Yes, can't see KK making a mad dash to Russia for the following days SEC round.

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.

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.

They showed some ambition last year & the year before when we made the play offs & we're top of the table most of last year.

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

Horton has made changes every year he's been in charge.

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
