  1. Yes 2 wins against most people's tips for the bottom two!

    Coventry Bees 2014

    I don't like to say "I told you so" but... Hope we are both wrong.
  3. I didn't expect it and it was only at reserve that it was won (and probably Bomber - not a Wolves rider). Good score from Ty too
  4. I think we should just butt out and remind them of forum rules - no need to get involved!

    Coventry V Birmingham, 28 Mar 14

    Well - we're lucky you aren't running the sport because we cannot afford to lose ANY teams - although this situation needs to be resolved quickly!
  6. I have to disagree with you on the "instantaneous" bit. It IS possible (and easy) to get a message out quickly and instantaneously and people just need to embrace technology. Let's say a promoter makes a decision to cancel a meeting and they send a tweet - that can appear on Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites for people to read.

    I think they are blinded by the Woffinden factor!

    Being trialled by Birmingham this season

    Wolves Vs Birmingham

    More spin than a washing machine. Yes, wolves are top of the table but your over-exuberance may come back and bite you in the bottom.

    Wolves Vs Birmingham

    As predicted - a poor season beckons for Birmingham

    Coventry Bees 2014

    Doesn't look like Mr Sandhu is backing up his words - hope this mess gets sorted because I was looking forward to tonight ... At least the ice speedway on Eurosport is good
  12. So watering the league down year on year is directed at keeping the dwindling support there is?? The changes are aimed at saving money - charge the same for less - it has been that way for some time now and the dwindling support is rightly doing just that - dwindling! As the phrase goes - you reap what you sow and unless they look at the value for money element, support will continue to fall until speedway is a more insignificant sport in the UK than it currently is!

    Just what I was thinking they have Swindon in 5th because they are lacking a 3rd heat leader - when he is the very person that has replaced Wolves 3rd heat leader at Somerset. Maybe they will be right and maybe not but I think Wolves will finish anywhere between 6th and 8th!

    No - he wasn't riding for the Rebels - as you well know that is what people meant!

    Rebels 2014

    What a disgrace Somerset are by first releasing Nick, then dumping Ty without him turning a wheel for them and replacing him with Morris - disgraceful!!!

    Wolverhampton 2014

    I think it's a disgrace that Ty has been replaced at Somerset before he has even turned a wheel for them. That is no way to treat a rider and Somerset should be punished - the same as when they dumped Morris who is ironically replacing Ty. I wish Ty a successful season for Wolves

    Birmingham 2014

    18 years at Buxton and the immediate reaction - who??

    Birmingham 2014

    Missed that - OK it won't be him then! Jim Lynch (he's popped up at most clubs) or maybe even Colin Pratt!

    Joe Screen?

    Coventry Stadium Sold

    Maybe you can purchase one of the houses he builds - if you trust him that much. He might even let you choose which bend of the track for your plot. He is a businessman and, like all businessmen, he will do what is right for him. I do hope that Coventry continue at Brandon though as there is a lot of history at that venue.
  22. This stupid draft system is supposed to encourage young Brits in the draft. No one has turned a wheel yet and some are already talking about replacing Lee Smart. If that does happen then it just shows how much of a crock the draft system is. Where is the encouragement for these riders when someone supposedly better comes along and they are dumped?? As I said - what a crock if it happens!
  23. So what about encouraging Lee Smart then?
  24. I think you meant to say available to sign for Poole - who were never going to be happy with Lee Smart even though a wheel hasn't been turned. I think the rules should be if you select a draft rider - you are stuck for the duration. After all, it won't help their development to be dumped at the drop of a hat. Oh! Wait a minute, it's Poole I'm talking about

    Early Predictions

    Wolves 3rd and Coventry 9th - really? You may end up being right, but I think the majority think that Coventry will be at the upper end and Wolves in the middle. I'm also not so sure about Eastbourne making the play-offs but a few people have them down for that due to their home track advantage.
