LisaColette Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 COVENTRY ? 1 Danny King 9.57 2 Kenneth Bjerre 8.22 3 Troy Batchelor 7.36 4 Rory Schlein 7.17 5 Hugh Skidmore 6.84 6 James Sarjeant 5.80 7 Josh Bates 5.02 Total 49.98 Swap Watt for King then I think that should be the team!

Col Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Swap Watt for King then I think that should be the team! Why would Coventry sign Watt? Batchelor, Schlien & Bjerre are on low averages, potentially for their ability. But are very much damaged goods. Batchelor except for about a season 10 years ago as #8 has had no association with the Bee's, he has been very critical of the Brandon Stadium track on Sky Sports many times. Schlien & Coventry have a sordid history & Bjerre has in his long career never had any association with the Speedway Club. I cannot see any of those rides being in the declared Bee;s team for 2017.

Gemini Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I cannot see any of those riders being in the declared Bees team for 2017. Thank goodness for that. I hope you are right. Watt and Batchelor ~ my worst nightmare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliss44 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Swap Watt for King then I think that should be the team! A HUGE no thank you to Watt --- wash your mouth out Lisa or let him sign for Poole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Why would Coventry sign Watt?. Cos it would annoy certain Coventry fans and be funny especially when you throw Batch in as well It would be for my own amusement tbh. A HUGE no thank you to Watt --- wash your mouth out Lisa or let him sign for Poole. He can come back if he has sorted his stuff out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on Col, anyone can see if Watt replaced King in that side even Scunthorpe would probably have a field day. Coventry need Jonsson in my opinion. Hugh Skidmore is just the best speedway name any man could have been blessed with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj350z Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Is this sort of team still going to be 17/18 quid to watch surely not. It is obvious this is going to be the case for many teams next season as the discussions and outcomes of the AGM means that we will have promotions needing to charge to these admission prices with considerably lower outgoings to be viable so it was always going to inevitable. Jonsson confirmed he isn't doing Britain next season. I think he confirmed that before the end of the last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find the suggestion of Watt signing for Coventry was not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 People moaning about Watt but his average is fairly low. Someone will take a punt on him and could easily benefit from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midland Red Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 From Bees website: COVENTRY Speedway are saddened to hear of the passing of long-time steward Tony Anderson. Tony was the father of Chris Anderson, who of course has worked extensively with several riders over the years at Brandon. Many supporters will have known Tony from his time with the club as a steward, and we send our condolences to all of his family and friends. Funeral details are to be confirmed but will appear here when known. _________ Sad news - but still no mention of the passing of Tom Ridley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) I know some fans are worried that we've not announced any signings yet but I wouldn't worry (yet). At least riders I would like in the team (Fricke, Kylmakorpi, Schlein and Bates) haven't been named in any premiership side yet.

LisaColette Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yet, being the key word! I would think Bates would be there, the other 3 are debatable. We know Rory has signed for someone just not know who! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
