Coventry 2017


Recommended Posts

While I agree with that, we can only judge so far on what we have an IMO, it's very good, close to excellent. I think it would take a massive cock up now to mess this team up. Even the rumoured Garrity/Kerr/Sarj wouldn't be terrible.

 

I don't think it would be terrible either but Sarj on that average is a huge risk for me after last season for Coventry. The other 6 I'd be happy enough with. I would prefer another heat leader instead though.

Hopefully FB! If that is the case then maybe we should give the BSPA a pat on the back rather than continually criticise them.

Obviously as a Poole fan i don't mind winning the title more often than not in recent years but it has a down side to the sport in general, if more sides are capable of making the play offs then interest in increased and hopefully the crowds return.

If we go down the Kerr/Sarj/Bates route as bottom 3 at least we will always pick up points from 1-7. It may not be a spectacular side but it will have a solid look with no weak links as such. It will probably look better when all the other sides are named.

Garrity and Fricke or Kylmakorpi would leave enough for a 2.00er which is where I guess Coventry are going, having a NL team should give them a decent insight into the best potential 2.00er's around and one would hope Bates would be one of the stronger reserves in the league.

The down side is that the Coventry NL team didn't contain any of the best potential 2 pointers and the NL knowledge has gone to Plymouth along with Laurence Rogers. However IF Cov are going for a 2 pointer Tom Bacon would be a decent shout after his EL riders performance?

 

That said if teams are building top heavy with a 2'er at the tail the risk / pressure is all on the other reserve.

Fair point, but I doubt that Danny rode many heat 13s & 15s this year and I can't see him winning crucial races, especially if an away team gets an 8-1 in heat 11 or 12. Having said that, the Bees should have good strength in depth.

Not sure if Ht15 results count towards the averages.

Why wouldn't they?[/quote

 

Thought I read somewhere that Ht 15 scores do not go towards GSA, hopefully some one can put me right one way or another.

 

Who knows, that may we'll be something they have changed again at the AGM, unless Mr Watson can enlighten us we will have to wait for the 2017 regulations.

I'm betting Poole was one of two that didn't! Wonder who the other one was? Not that it matters. Seems Coventry are getting riders that can score 6-8 points each. No weak links.

And we know Swindon didn't (being a Thursday night track and him signing for Sheffield)
