kingbee Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Garrity is on 8.55 and effectively unemployable by anyone sensible. Same as Ellis.I would rather have Garrity than Bjerre but you have to forget about averages as scb says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I want to see entertaining meetings, winning is great but I'm sorry the likes of bjerre just don't fit the kind of team I want to see at Brandon. It would be nice sooner rather than later to hear from Coventry or even Danny about these rumours, has he moved or not? Danny is it at his peak, he reminds me a lot of Nicholls in his style of riding. He is a must have signing, make him captain and he can be the main man this season, he out rode Bomber last season at Brandon. We have a decent enough asset base and I am sorry but Garrity gives you just over half a season before he is knocked up and his poor start to the season can not be repeated. Even at this stage of his career and limited options maybe Gemini is right and Scott Nicholls would be a rider guaranteed to give 100% and can ride most away tracks well. Feel for Holder as it looks like he has limited options and Doyle takes a huge chunk out of Swindon, the promotors agreed it but some of the teams suggested look at best glorified PL teams. Should have been 55/60points and we could have had more strength in depth. it's done nothing to make you want the season to start tomorrow, more dread of who the hell will we end up with. More fans will be lost to the sport, I went to the stox at Brandon for the first time in over 20 years on Saturday, was a pleasure to see it so full. A brilliant fire work display and even Nigel Harrhy throwing sweets into the crowd, it was like a throw back to some fantastic final meetings at Coventry. How two sports can be so similar but also worlds apart, but you can see with the crowd I witnessed on Saturday stox are so popular. I'd say there was more in Brandon Saturday night than half a season of speedway give or take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Be interesting to see who shows the hand first, more than ever this year you have to get every spot right or it has a knock on effect. You think you have a deal and it falls through you then look for another rider around the same points but he may not suit the team/fans. My worst nightmare is if Bjerre or Batch sign up, Rory would be a popular choice still as it's his confidence that needs to come back, the ability is there. Trouble is Mick does not strike me as a strategist , I reckon after he had is meeting with Jim Lynch he probably had his team done and dusted before Jim had left the car park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Miller Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 I thought Danny had already gone? Would love him back but hey ho. No thanks to Troy Bachelor and that goes for the other whingeing Aussie Davey Watt too, just in case the promotion have him on their list of 9 riders. Would love to see Kylmakorpi back again and perhaps Scott would like to see out his career at Coventry being as Chris Harris has gone?Love Nicholls he's been a magnificent rider for the Bees over the years, but not sure I want him back at this stage of his career. Rather look elsewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I would rather have Garrity than Bjerre but you have to forget about averages as scb says Who is more likely to miss loads of matches because he's injured? That is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I thought King was going to Kings Lynn. If so & you can get Nicholls back I would, a team needs a heart and soul which British riders provide. Some imports do, but very few. Andersen (until this year it seems), Skornicki, PK are three. Aussies & Yanks are better than most at it. Although I could probably give a cyborg a Leigh Adams accent to conduct most interviews for Aussies. Language thing I guess.

mdmc82 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Well no Sheffield for Garrity next year Looks like the rumours about his arguement might be true. If that's the case then I can't see him at Coventry either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 They only reason Garrity won't be in the Bees side is if Jim Lynch doesn't want him or he won't fit into the limit. What would Bees fans think about Holder at number 1? Just curious as he's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I would have thought Chris would rather have other tracks in mind first. More than likely but just asking if fans would want him with his average. I think unless a club has a solid 1-7 having a Holder at 1 can be beneficial.

KK is a point lower, probably a better option for Coventry especially if you're keeping Garrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if you sign Fricke, King, Garrity etc while it would be difficult for them to maintain their average it's not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Any team signing Chris Holder will know it is merely an average reduction exercise so he can fit into Poole's team building plans for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather have KK for Coventry but only if there is less fixture clashes. AJ will be the No.1 at Coventry next season. It is a possibility but depends if he wants to ride here next year. He also has a 11+ average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Any team signing Chris Holder will know it is merely an average reduction exercise so he can fit into Poole's team building plans for next year. simple solution, offer him £300 a point with no start or appearance money, no score equals no pay, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 simple solution, offer him £300 a point with no start or appearance money, no score equals no pay, But someone else might "sponsor" him so he does not go short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
