Coventry V Lakeside This Friday (20/5) & Return Clash Saturday

Good win, poor meeting, poor crowd and poor value for money, rant over.

Well, that didn't last long. I thought you weren't going to moan anymore or is a rant different to a moan? :lol: Anyway, on to more important things what's wrong with Chris and who has got to go or he does?

 

 

 

......foamfence......Well they made changes to wreck them when they brought in Bridger.

 

I don't know why anyone bothers with Bridger. Doing his usual toddling round at the back tonight, when he stayed on his bike that is.

I didn't quite get what was said but was hoping somebody would put on here though. I thought the racing was good, we won and there was good passing. AJ is quite brilliant around Brandon, apart from heat 13 he was a class above and is a pleasure to watch. Edited by Coventry_Bee

So what did Bomber say exactly? I know he isn't happy about the BSPA but was this different?

Not sure. I didn't here anything announced during meeting. Only think I read was the same as you about the BSPA and qualifiers. Have I missed something?

It was after the meeting talking to Peter on the mike. He said he was fed up with Speedway at the moment, which is perhaps understandable as he's had a pretty rough time of it lately. Then he said he'd "have to have a word with the gaffer because either he goes or I do." No idea if he meant something to do with the BSPA or Coventry.

Apparently had a rant after the meeting when being interviewed. Been told it was about the bspa and the British Final qualifying dates. I think because some heard the word 'gaffer' they assumed something wasn't right in the Bees camp but I guess he was referring to Rosco.

Rosco has led us to 2 world cup finals and Bomber has scored 4 legit points in 2 GP meetings so Bomber must be out if it's a choice. We can replace him with a world class rider like Bridger and the world cup gold will surely be ours.

Thanks. We left after the last race. Sad to hear Harris isn't enjoying his speedway at the moment although it is kind of showing at the moment.

Bomber isn't the type of rider to say things about fellow team mates and his problems haven't been with Coventry so imagine it's more to do with somebody on the BSPA or being let down by Rosco with his recent qualifier selection as those are the areas he has been feeling let down in.

Good win, poor meeting, poor crowd and poor value for money, rant over.

It was a good win. I don't understand why you think it was a poor meeting? As for the crowd it was pretty much as was expected. I can think of many meetings that have been poor value for money but I wouldn't include tonight's meeting in that category.

I agree. There were some really good passes and racing. Also a few ambitious passes that caught some out but all in all it was a good night.

The meeting ran at a good pace and there was actually some up to date music

Two? Think Bomber has earned the right to speak about the state of the sport considering all he's done. He's basically saying it how it is similar to Tai. I think the 'Either he goes or I go' can be taken with a pinch of salt. He's angry after all.

I sometimes wonder if people are watching the same match as me as I enjoyed it too. As for the crowd it was about the same as usual and that's the level it is now. Perhaps if everyone was restricted to the home straight like at Wolverhampton and not strung out all around a stadium that can hold over 12,000 it would look a good crowd.

Pretty ordinary meeting tbh. Though AJs exclusion was harsh and was massively impressed with Woryna who I though rode in a far more controlled fashion tonight until the last lap of heat 14! Maybe not as exciting but more effective.

 

Sarj looked pretty good too and Roynon did more than I think anyone expected. As for the rest, blink and you missed them.

 

Thought the crowd was pretty good personally.

Interesting read regarding Harris. Are we seeing another blast where he's blaming everybody else but himself?

 

Such a passionate rider but does seem clueless with it at times.

If his me or you was regarding Rosco then it's bye bye Harris for me.

SWC Team :

 

Woffinden

Nicholls

Cook

Lambert / S Worrall

 

Doesn't matter where he goes for the SGP Qualifiers, he should have got through them but he didnt and that's down to him

The last time I saw him - at home to Poole - he was amazing. Fired up, skilled and gutsy.

 

Last night he just didn't seem to want to know.

 

There's no question in mind that he's good enough, it must be attitude.

That's pretty much how I saw it - not brilliant but not rubbish either.

 

I thought the crowd was good, especially for a Lakeside match.
