Why where other riders riding in Sweden then?

 

Bearing in mind our season ended in February, I dare say not too much of an argument was put up by the promotion when the "clash" was mentioned. Had we been fighting for the play offs I am sure KK would have been there. he might even have scored some points around there...

KK scoring at Monmore, that's a rare thing!

The apathy of the Bees promotion is quite shocking as they have clearly given up allowing this sort of behaviour.

Were they Swedish or Polish or another nationality?

 

TBF It was the play-offs on Sweden so that has to come first - Wolves/Cov was a meaningless fixture since Wolves were confirmed in the playoffs and Coventry confirmed out of them.

 

Edit - Queue the troll banging on about the league vs playoffs again!

You seem to have a problem with KK - who has actually given a lot to the EL over the years. Ok you don't like him and rate Lindgren higher that's fine but he has put in a great season for the Bees (better than anyone expected) and better than Lindgren in the EL so probably best relax now.

I have been to quite a few EL meetings at Brandon this year and I would say KK has put a lot of effort in his racing for the Bees this year. That is an opinion from a neutral. I do agree with Steve though that it is the meetings he misses and the reasons for his absence that brings into question his commitment.

He has put in lots of effort and has been great to watch. He has missed SGP & SEC practices for us.

Other Polish riders missed the meaningless celebrations.

I'm happy with the service Lindgren has given the EL and Wolves and has a much improved season.

KK has indeed always seemed happy to ride in the EL that is true however his commitment to his clubs is often under question.

He has had a decent year already stated that. Just glad he isn't a Wolves rider!

Personally think a new experienced team manager is required, a team manager cant be calling fans Bell ends as they queried why he was not at Monmore Green on Monday.

 

The team was losing, the team / promotion didn't put a small announcement out on the Website, stating he would be missing for personal reasons, yet the fans are called the names... Absolute shambles.

He just tweeted a fan an aggressive tweet asking to meet 'FACE2FACE'. The fan was responding to Havvy calling fans bellends. Just isn't on.

Just seen that. Coventry team manager calling fans bell ends etc , how very professional.

 

It really is such a shame Sandhu got fed up and left speedway, Coventry is a massive club but is rapidly going down the shoot.

Very true, and all so predictable. The decline started the minute Horton took charge.

The club had a very decent management team in Colin Pratt & Rosco.

 

Rosco was gone in no time and Colin Pratt was treated in a diabolical manner before he too departed, their replacements are not in the same league .

Can't ever see Pawlicki riding in the PL next year XD But that'd be a really good team to watch imo :)

solid team. You would need to think about potentially bringing in Scott N somehow. Batch for Woryna same average serious. I like the team though solid all the way through no weak link if Batch was in for Woryna if he found some form.

Never been a fan of Batchelor, even when he was in the GPs, apart from that 21 point maximum he got, I've NEVER seen him have a decent meeting, he always has some kind of issue

 

 

Keep your hands off the Wolves asset! :wink:

Oh I thought he was the Coventry asset, is it the other Pawlicki? :P

 

How about then

1. Danny King 6.87

2. Troy Batchelor 5.49

3. Scott Nicholls 6.28

4. Jason Garrity 6.05

5. Chris Harris 6.77

6. Aaron Summers 4.65

7. Josh Bates 4.00

 

I know Danny is at number 1, and that's pretty weak, but I'd imagine Chris Harris would push there eventually, partner him with Garrity or Summers? That's a pretty solid 1 and 2 and would leave the team with 2 strong reserves, which I think is the key to a good team, just look at Wolverhampton and Poole

 

1. Chris Harris

The decline started the minute Coventry had the audacity to beat Poole in the 2010 final!

I really hope our management stay clear of Ben Barker next year!

Rosco & Horton fell out over Nick Morris originally. Horton said no to him being part of our team after certain events and Rosco had to have him.

 

So glad we didn't keep him. Was good as a reserve but shocking as a heatleader

Depends which decline we are discussing , whilst I agree with your comment the post I replied to was about the standards shown by club officials.

There were no problems in that area prior to Mick Horton taking over .

Wolves have been successful because they have two riders which there averages have been very low when they will struggle to do that next year. Poole will not go with the same strategy we have never been a solid 1 to 7 club we have always been big hitters with either young riders who will eventually become the big hitter or unearthed gems such as Kacper. Solid teams though would they win a title? If batch got going they you have four heatleaders i would say. You have to consider Shamek coming in for you. Unless Matt Ford buys him which i can see him doing.
