Just looking at the updates and I am wondering why at Swindon last night (when he even won a race!) or in either match tonight Coventry failed to use Henry Atkins for any other/RR rides. Admittedly i am only looking at a computer screen for the updates but I know the kid is keen and will only get better by riding and testing himself at a higher level. I am sure he didn't learn much from sitting in the pits for both meetings, not even getting a chance when the 2nd meeting had slipped away from Storm. Maybe Henry would have been better off going to Somerset tonight for his usual after meeting blast?

I might be mistaken but I thought I heard the announcer say he wasn't at Coventry? :unsure:

Particularly as the rider he beat to win his race at Swindon was Nathan Stoneman.

 

Maybe he should have been the ones passing on tips to his team mates!

I was there, we aren't both always able to attend every meeting - the day job and families sometimes get in the way

That's one reason why each Club has a minimum of two promoters.

Thanks for the response Niel, I did see you around.

 

The problem is Mick is the face of the Bees promotion and this occasion it was hes personal plea to the fans:

 

Horton said: “This is personal for me, because it does mean a lot to me to run the kids. I want to run at this level, but at the moment the support just isn’t there for it.

Horton wasn't there, strange after his midweek plea for the fans to be?

I was referring to Henry Atkins not Mick Horton. Drew2 thought he should have been given a ride but I thought I heard he wasn't even there. Could be wrong though ~ I usually am. :lol:

Thank you for the confirmation as I thought that's what I heard David (or Peter York) say when he was announcing the teams, which explains that he wasn't actually 'sitting in the pits' doing nothing. :lol:

Incidentally who was it that took over the announcing for a while because he was pretty good?
