Coventry 2016

Watching Jason before meetings at Belle Vue I couldn't wait to see him develop into an exciting world beater. I watched him at nearby Buxton after he was fixed up there and then later at his home track for The Colts. He even had a ride out with The Aces leading Nicki Pedersen for the best part of a race. Mort was charged with overseeing his development but due to cash being tight too fund the new stadium Jason went off to Rye House and that unfortunately was that.

With his spectacular from the back style he would have been a massive plus for UK speedway. I'm gutted how iits all worked out both for him and selfishly for me.

The blow is softened somewhat by watching Craig win for GB whilst collecting a silver medal and seeing young Dan kick his career off.

Best of luck Jason hope you're fit and riding soon.

Good night for Coventry riders with their PL teams tonight.

 

King got another full max whilst Sarjeant got a paid max for Ipswich. This included a heat 15 5-1 from the pairing.

 

Garrity only dropped 1 point to an opposing rider in Sheffield's meeting against Edinburgh, scoring 12+2

Bates didn't have a great night in the same meeting.

 

Also a good away win for Coventry Storm yesterday at King's Lynn 👍🏻

IF we can keep the majority of this year's team I think we will have a good side next year. Garrity for example will be on a lower average than some of the other riders at his or below his level.

Gotta be a doubt over whether we can keep KK if he qualifies for the GPs next season surely ?

Why?

Robobee, Jason Doyle's first yr in the GP's whilst at Leicester, we planned our home fixtures around the GP nights, and our night is GP night, your meetings at home are mainly Friday night's which is official practise day for the GP's, so I don't see why you could not do a similar thing??

Can you think why Cov couldn't do something similar for KK?

Harris hasn't had any clashes this year as the Friday before each GP meeting have been storm meetings instead

if they keep this team they will Finish in the same position

If you properly read what I posted you'd realise I said majority not all.

Possibly but fixture wise GPs wouldn't be a problem. Would depend if he still wants 3 leagues. Edited by woz01

King and Sarjeant were both very quick last night , usual jump start in one race by Sarjeant (marginal IMO lol ) apart from that quick away from the tapes . King got outgated twice by Wells but had so much speed was easily past him .

Danny currently looking unbeatable round foxhall .

Words from Bates on his final meeting of the season for Coventry.

 

Bates said "I wasn't making the starts tonight, but the engine Ive got from Brian Karger is working really well around here at the moment.

 

Im happy to get double figures again especially as its my last meeting at home, but I really want to be back here next year well have to see what Mick Horton says!

 

This has been the best Elite League club Ive ridden for, everyone in the club has been good and Ive really enjoyed the season.

I said at the start of the season he would improve as it goes on and he's certainly done that. We should have him back if possible.

Interesting social media comment from Kenni Larsen today.

Think its pretty obvious why he didn't sign for the Bees this season!!

 

"I can't believe how Coventry Can keep on paying the riders. They still owe me 2000pounds. I have even Been to he's Company to confront him. Then he was that cheeky that he offered me a contract for next year if i would agree to get the half amount. These kind of People, you just wish get choked to death in Their own s**t."

Yep just seen that. Just pay him the money, it just breeds negativity that's not needed. Bspa wont help him either.

 

What's worse is that they offered riders way more than that to ride last season in the play offs, it's not like they can't pay it.
