I guess they are trying to avoid. 2 meetings in a week. This is the first time I have heard of this, do you have any details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Mole Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't see the problem as is the same as Cradley are doing with using Monmore Green and Perry Barr, however yes Belle Vue have their own track, however imagine its like a joint team between Coventry and Belle Vue but just using belle vues name for the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad enough already with the constant churn of guests and rider replacement nonsense. Talk about alienating supporters from teams. Now they won't even have a team, just 3 and a half riders. One can only assume that at this year's conflab they opened the bar especially early or someone was passing round the hallucinogenics because otherwise, it is hard to comprehend how such a bizarre arrangement could have passed muster.

Firstly,i don't think many people support the teams at the moment,do they?From what i have seen it seemed not that many were going to see Coventry at this level.So maybe if they race every other week or so the attendances might hold up And 3 and a half riders would be an improvement on some line-ups.Plus maybe it would be possible to always make it 4 home riders every meeting.It hopefully gives some young riders a chance they otherwise wouldn't have if neither team rode.......

If you don't mind me saying...........................you are clutching at straws! I'd like to see the marketing strategy when they are putting one of these meetings on. Good people of Manchester come and support your local team, the Coventry Braces. This is a joke. Please tell me it is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
