Aces51 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Sadly I can't see many fans paying to watch their team beaten every week, regardless of who they support. Belle Vue fans did and over many seasons in a terrible stadium. We're either mad or very loyal. Keep the faith, whatever the faults of the management this is a season when Coventry supporters have got to show to the local councils and the media that there is significant support to keep the club going after this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what's worse. This looks likely to be our last season after all these years and we are going to go out on a low. 😕 It's gojng to be a tough season for Coventry Fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hope this fixture is better than tonights diabolical performance. It might be fractionally better but with Lindgren in for Holder making the Pirates even stronger and Coventry having a 6 man team, another thrashing looks likely.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 BBC is showing tomorrow as dry in Coventry though overcast all day. Looking forward to the meeting tomorrow night. Coventry will come out with all guns blazing to seek revenge after last nights thrashing. The thing is, will it be bazookas or a gun filled with blanks? It will certainly be close. KK and Harris, and King to an extent, will be a different kettle of fish around Brandon. Garrity and the reserves will be battling as well so I don't expect there to be much in it. Just as close as the ES there last month. 4 points in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagonshocker Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Fans who stay away close down a club. Fans that move away and desert a club can also be potentially considered.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why it should. Coventry at home are not significantly weaker than Lakeside at home. KK should be roughly the same as AJ is at Lakeside and Bomber at Brandon is as good if not better than any equivalent Hammers heatleaders. Lakeside beat Poole with a six man team because they got stuck in and had the crowd behind them to come from 6 points down to take the win. Coventry have the potential to win this, but it means digging deep, functioning as a team and the fans getting behind them. Giant killing is what Speedwáy is all about. If the Bees pull this off you will all be walking on air for I week as I was when Lakeside beat Poole. Get in and support your team. It's a big ask but it's doable.

The biggest difference is the track you rode poole on at lakeside !! The pirate heat leaders really dont like the place unlike brandon which they ride as well as any away track in the country !! I would fancy the bee's chances more if we faced poole at purfleet to be honest !! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have the potential if we had a rider at 4. R/R will kill us in the end. As things stand we are 4 points below the limit! The biggest difference is the track you rode poole on at lakeside !! The pirate heat leaders really dont like the place unlike brandon which they ride as well as any away track in the country !! I would fancy the bee's chances more if we faced poole at purfleet to be honest !! Or the old BV, can we move there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would fancy the bee's chances more if we faced poole at purfleet to be honest !! I don't know about that . Dave Watt captained Lakeside for three years hitting around. 7-point average, but still got blown away 2 weeks ago, Hans nearly always does well at Arena, only Holder is not keen on the place but he is not really his full self anyway so far this year. I can't remember Dave Watt having many good meetings at Brandon, especially acts it's a bit wet. From this distance it seems to me that the Bees team spirit is not all it could be, but if they all pull together it should be a decent match. Go for it .

mdmc82 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Holder has been poor this week and is inconsistent at Brandon, whilst Lindgren is riding well and scored well there only a few weeks ago so strengthens Poole. Meanwhile Coventry are having to use reserves to ride in place of a 2nd string due to new rules. This definitely weakens them esp with Sarjeant's lack of form. I think Poole would have won this anyway as our team is terrible but think the margin will be even bigger now. Predict 32-58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
