Jacques Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Better any kind of meeting rather than go into the league season unprepared. Can't believe the moaning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Only against a championship side ? Premiership teams are basically championship sides built to a higher team limit of 50 It's not a massive difference at all now, although there is obviously still a reasonable gap. It'll be interesting to see how Somerset get on away at Sheffield soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Moaning by fans that aren't Coventry or Panthers aswell..... The meeting was always going to be lopsided but it was honoured to give Coventry Fans a chance to see there team. Yeah it would of made sense to face someone more on our level which would be competitive but as mentioned above, it's just about getting used to being on your bike again. Bring on the next meeting against Scunny which will be more competitive. Edited March 19, 2017 by Panthers89 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's no good buying a team full of racers if the track is gonna be crap like this every week..Some parts have no shale left on after 6 races. If you stood on the back straight you may understand where the shale went. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Can't believe the moaning! Oh, I can. You wait 5 months for a speedway fix, then moan after one meeting. Pretty sure it's just attention seeking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dornier Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thought it was overall a decent meeting but am not a fan of holding a meeting up for three quarter of an hour to allow everybody in for the first race, in my book they should turn up earlier, even though it was held up the stadium wasn`t exactly bursting at the seams plenty of empty seats in the stands.There was some good racing from most of the team but WHY was Kenneth Bjerre nominated for heat fifteen ? I thought the idea was so that the Coventry riders who were going to be losing out on pay days to earn some money so seeing as Bjerre has now got a job surely he should have been the last to be nominated and then to not turn out for that race is unforgiveable three points worth of money were lost on that race for another Bees rider. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dornier Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Are you for real?.. People who turned up an hour early were in that que!The turnstyles opened at about ten fifty at that time there were NO queues everybody was entering freely. Its not acceptable to have to sit in the cold for three quarters of an hour for whatever reason. I saw many Coventry fans leaving early they probably had other appointments to meet.

SCB Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Are you for real?.. People who turned up an hour early were in that que!Why? We got in the queue at 11.35ish and got in at 11.55. It took 20 minutes. But honestly, why is it STILL an issue? Peterborough is the only place this happens. Twice as many people at wolves tonight and no queues. Why? Not having two slow women on the turnstiles helps! And having piles of £1 coins to give as change quickly too. Yeh trip back to the Coventry area at a guess.Wolves for PKs farewell actually. Having arrives at Peterborough at 11.30 and not getting out of Wolves now until 8pm and thanks to he shambles that is Peterborough Speedway some of us have not had a chance to eat a decent meal today. Had the meeting been over by 1.45 as it should have been it would have allowed us to eat between the meetings. Still annoyed at the queue farce this morning.

Noodles Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 So we started 30 minutes late because people couldn't get in due to the lack of people on the turnstiles. Then when they started he parade, late, thy record to interview all the riders. We'd just had 30 minutes of nothing happening, why the bloody hell were the interviews not done then? Then we had 12 minutes between the last two heats, what was that wait for? They knew fans wanted to get to Wolves. I bet later in the season Peterborough will be complaining about a lack of fans attending. Well making people hang around will be why. It happens every time I go to Peterborough. You can get there 30 minutes before start time and you're lucky to get in by start time. It's been this was about 10-15 years now, how long will it take to sort it?? So, negatives aside. It was a pretty good meeting, a few from the gates but always the chance of a pass but heats 10 and 13 were top class speedway. 5-2 to 7-1 to 1-5 in heat 10 and God only knows in heat 13, ended in a Bees 5-1 with Bjerre going last to 2nd on the last bend. I know it was only against a Championship team but Sarj aside every Bee showed just how good this team would have been this afternoon. So yes I started with a moan, the meeting wasn't rushed enough but I bloody loved it! You would have thought you'd have learnt to get there earlier after 15 years then? There were interviews during the delayed start, we had to suffer Peter York and some ex Coventry riders from centuries ago and it was Peter York who started interviewing riders during their presentations. Why was Peter York even there? The delay between 14 & 15 was whilst Coventry tried to persuade some of the riders to do it. Only Kerr could be arsed so we went with three instead.

Bagpuss Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 Insufficient turnstiles really isn't good enough for a sport which is trying desperately to attract and keep customers. Great to see so many Coventry fans turn out for their team, they are one of the biggest clubs we have and fingers crossed they return to to league racing very soon. Hope we have them at Lynn this year for a challenge match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there early and had the joy of standing around for 40 minutes bored. So to then have to endure a prolonged introduction of riders with sound bite interviews about how sad everyone is when we were told the meeting was being brought forward to allow us to get to Wolves it was a bit of a piss take! As for Peterborough York, I've learned to block to idiot out. I though the one positive of losing Brandon would be losing him :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
