Bald Bloke Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 If you take Batch's 2 home scores against Poole and this end of season one he looks good.Somethings not right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Congratulations king's Lynn Thank god these season is finished. Still can't believe we won't see Harris in Coventry colours again Yeah, but no great loss taking into account his showing in 2016 both in his team and individual performances. Can't see many clubs chasing his name, but could be a "good" coup for a team in premier league. Pretty sure Poland and Sweden won't be running around for him.

fliss44 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Only Adam Roynon and Bomber came out to greet the youngsters who waited patiently. No fireworks just a damp squib to the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Absolutely pitiful and depressing end to the EL season at Brandon. And what's more, the prospects of a competitive team next year are close to zero. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwaysliders Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 The worst meeting of the season and by some way I understand your comment,but it must be hard for the Coventry team when they see the line up for heat 1,NKI must of thought xmas had come early with the line up that faced him.Surely the powers that be must put down rules next season where you have to replace a number 1 with an adequate replacement or the match is off.It has to be as serveere as that because there has to be a limit as to the sort of team you can put out.Its not on for the fans,and it does nothing for speedway in general when there is no reasonable replacement for your Number 1.It mabe not coventrys fault but something has to be done.

Bees_Man Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 The promotion at Coventry should hang their heads. That i'm afraid was not good enough. Was promised kids races, collections etc and got nothing. Listening on the terraces they must be the most unpopular promotions we've had. No trust, and zero faith they can turn this crap around!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB252 Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Not sure why you any different with Horton in charge I'm not sure it would be any different with anyone else in charge. The whole place is just on life support. Don't honestly know what the answer is to bring it back to life. The 30 heats tonight were woeful. Track like a motorway from heat one of the first match and barely a pass all night. Previous EL action at Brandon had been decent up until the last couple of meetings to be fair, but that was depressing poorly presented dross tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) It drives me insane that our promotion keeps trying to con the paying public by not declaring the full side before the meeting. Having TBC for your number 1 right up to the meeting is pathetic. If they stated it was a NL rider I'm guessing they thought some supporters would not turn up. Stop treating your paying customers with the lack of respect you've shown this season, as otherwise they'll be none left!!

Trees Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Should at least've floured Havvy lol or the modern equivalent, shaving foamed .... it''s really difficult for unsuccessful promotions to sign off the last meeting, especially when they finish on a low, Lynn were the same on Tuesday. I probably think that the old way of interviewing each rider, the manager and promoter works well. If nothing else it gives them the chance to say thanks to the fans. I guess something may have been said after the Storm meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More needs to be done, the whole package was poor last night. This isn't just a Coventry problem as you say kings Lynn and probably other clubs too have similar issues getting it right. It can't be that difficult. Edited September 17, 2016 by woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop treating your paying customers with the lack of respect you've shown this season, as otherwise they'll be none left!! If your No.1 is missing, just run RR and let (in this meeting) Harris and King take two each of his rides (or anyone else if Havelock decided someone was riding better).. Let's face it, riders miss EL matches due to riding elsewhere in 'recognised' meetings, 'non-recognised' meetings and having various degrees of 'injuries' so just have one rule for all riders missing.. (And that one rule definitely isn't an NL guest at No.1 in an EL meeting).. Edited September 17, 2016 by mikebv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Horton was thinking if we help KK prepare properly for the sec it would help our chances of signing him next season? I would only sign KK if he either doesn't do the sec next season or they change the facility rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did wonder what had happened to that. At the Lakeside meeting Horton came out and said the meeting on 16th would have lots of things for the kids and would be made fun. I didn't really see anything fun for kids or adults last night. Horton didn't even come out to speak on our last meeting of the season. All very flat. Easily the worst meeting of the season. No dirt on the track so no racing, 2 patched up teams and lack of presentation. The shock announcement in the morning that our main rider was leaving also dampened the mood.

Bee 26 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Would have cost money to put extra things on...say no more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 It wouldn't have cost money to have a few kids do a lap of the track and inject a bit of humour into the proceedings as was promised. No idea why it didn't happen but can only think it was because of the Storm match being tagged on and the need to get on with things. Someone mentioned fireworks too but we haven't had them for a few years going back to Sandhu when I think there were complaints from the neighbours. It probably didn't have the usual 'end of the season' feel about it because although it was the last league match there is still the ELRC to come and a couple of Storm matches. It would be nice though if someone could explain on here (Neil!) exactly why the riders didn't come out at the end even if they didn't get to speak and why the kids bike races didn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full-throttle Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Absolutely smack on ! Some fans had this sussed from day one, many are now realising it , a few are still in denial. Unfortunately I fall into the first category, but fortunately for the Bees there are many others who will continue to hand over their hard earned. It shouldn't be all about winning but putting on a show that makes the customer want more. If I can get clarification that the ELRC admission isn't lining this promotions pockets I may attend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
