The Brandon track has been prepared with rain in mind, we intend the meeting to go ahead as scheduled.
Best of luck with a crowd then. Have the speakers been fixed yet?

So looking at King's Lynn's team for tonight does that mean that when KK is missing for Coventry against Lakeside we can go with a team of Chris Harris, Ben Barker, Jason Garrity, Kacper Woryna, Danny King, Josh Bates, James Sarjeant.
If not why not as we will be using our No. 8 just as King's Lynn are and that seems to be allowed.

But surely you are only allowed to replace a an EDR rider with someone lower on the list than them or a rider with a lower Premier League average.
Which is certainly not the case with Howarth.

So why is it R/R for Jason. Why on earth have we named Ben in a doubling up role.
-
I fear that this will make the crowd even worse with the earlier start time as people may now struggle to get there in time from work with the rush hour traffic. I would imagine that most Coventry fans will not bother now as too early for them
Totally correct. Unable to make it to Leicester for 6:30 let alone the traffic at that time of night.
Thats 3 less to start with.

Biggest ask for Sarj is to sit still at the gate.
But he does sit still at the tapes, it is that sometimes he goes a little early.

So you get a reserve who can have seven rides who has an average which should put him in the main team. Yet another brilliant Rule.

Why don't they ask to move the meeting to 6 o clock and then show the England match in the bar afterwards. ?
How do you think supporters could get there by 6 o'clock and anybody staying for the football would end up with a parking ticket.

think the rain arrived a bit earlier than expected I went and I blame nobody - BUT just to correct one point all fans were given a full refund on their admission tickets - that would not happen at many tracks so well done Scunny
In which case I applaud Scunthorpe for their actions. Maybe some other tracks could learn from them.
-
Coventry fiasco? I assume you refer to the meeting against Mildenhall that was abandoned after a serious racing accident left a rider immobilised on the track with suspected back injuries awaiting a County ambulance?
Or possibly the one with the statement by the track announcer that he would bring you news of tonight's curfew.

Amazed no thread on this and also amazed after Len usually calling off meetings early that the meeting is still on a 4pm. Lots of fans won’t go as they'll assume with all the rain, it's off! Why they won’t go? Because Len has set a precedence!
So I would assume that as Len calls meetings off early and he hasn't in this case, then that would mean that it will almost certainly be on.
Unlike at Scunthorpe yesterday where after taking your money it was called off after 2 heats when it was already raining before the start and with a terrible forecast.
I know which I would rather have.
-
Can somebody explain to me how Poole are allowed to use Steve Worrall as a guest for Adam Ellis as Steve Worrall was a tier one rider and Adam Ellis a tier two rider.
-
Should re-stage this tomorrow. Decent forecast and all riders here ahead of Wednesday's meeting at Lynn.
Best suggestion ever, so no chance!

£17 for 10 heats at the best, and they will be a farce if the rain that is forecast arrives.

People have NOT be abusing the system.The system is rubbish. It's offensive to suggest people have been abusing a system when they're using it properly, ie they're showing valud NUS cards as requested.
But the concession was for students. NOT for people with an NUS card. That was only asked for (wrongly) to prove that you are a full time student.

Yet again the paying mugs are treated like sh*t by this promotion.

Has anybody seen Josh Bates video from the track on Facebook. Would be very surprised if it doesn't get rained off.
Doubt the racing will be up to much if track is soaking as video & pictures show. Don't want any injuries
It's Leicester - the racing wouldn't be up to much anyway.

All this discussion is very well, but just do as I aim to do and go to Wolves or Swindon instead.
When their gate money drops then maybe they will realize the error of their ways.
Still it will give them an excuse to shut part way through the year, when the terraces are empty especially for the Storm matches.
-
coventry use common sense and run a storm match on gp fridays if possible\
just need a few more fans to get involved with the storm
maybe try and get some interval or half time entertainment on
a couple of sidecar races would be popular
Just running regular meetings on a G.P. weekend would help. Instead of no meaningful home meeting for the Storm until mid season (First home League meeting was the 17th July)

Not really as a lot of riders in the elite league also ride in the premier league, plus speedway should only be £10 for normal meetings anyway.
I'm looking forward to you taking over the promotion at Coventry then if you would only charge £10 a meeting.

http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=80320&p=2680321 and other posts in that thread.
You are very free with your use of the word 'lie' - an extra £10 in the BenFund bucket tomorrow from whoever's wrong about the Turnstile notices? I assume you'll be there as it's not a double header.
It might :-)
I see you can't provide any evidence for your last post as usual.
Have you been out painting signs today then and I bet they do not mention double headers.
And no I will not be there tomorrow which will be the first meeting I have missed all year both home and away (Bees and Storm)
Would you kindly quote my post and your reply to ME
As yet again the above post is a blatant lie.
I have never asked you what the policy is.
All I have done is question your lies about the fact that readmission terms for a double header were clearly posted outside the stadium.
But If you can prove the lies that you posted above are true then I will gladly give Rob a tenner for the fund.

Well said. Some fans just like a good moan. A bit like those moaning about paying £2 more for seeing their EL team in the play offs.
Just go on sucking up to Neil, it won't do you any good.
Why should I wait until it happens and chuck more of my money away.
On what now appears to be a policy by Coventry only.

But you are quite happy to misquote me.
I didn't refer to 'rules', you asked on another thread what Coventry's policy was and I responded. You should at least have the honesty to re-title this post ' Warning to anyone attending a double-header at Coventry' as the current title is misleading and assumes my colleagues all have the same policy.
For the record, while our policy is as stated, in exceptional circumstances which would make the current policy clearly inappropriate, we would of course make an appropriate adjustment to the policy on the night and make an announcement to those affected ((ie) the fans actually in the stadium).
That's the beauty of having a policy not rules.

So why worry if it has never happened? Wait until it does and then have a moan.
As I have already said on the other thread we are getting in for £15 instead of £20 for two matches so the promotion are already losing £5. Neither of the two abandoned matches have been Coventry's fault so I wouldn't quibble about being a couple of pounds out of pocket.
Yes it has happened see post #10.
Maybe you are happy at getting ripped off but a lot of people are not.
Do you remember last years double headers with the famous statement of "We will give you news of the time of tonights curfew"
As I say you will soon be the only person stood on the terraces if the public keep getting treated with contempt.
And please in future do not say I have said something that I have not.
Coventry V Lakeside/lakeside V Coventry 19th & 20th August

Wouldn't matter if you were on bend 1 or 2 because you wouldn't be able to hear them tell you anyway
