Gemini 4,894 Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Let us hope that if they do get this meeting off the ground tonight before any threatened rain it can be started without the usual gardening at the tapes, going up to the tapes turning round and going half way round the track before going forward and back at the tapes, one rider doing it then another just wasting time. False start — when riders move they should be made to go immedately back to the tapes, 2 minutes should go on immediately the red light is switched on. Tanks should be full of fuel at the start of each race to cater for a false start. It will be the same for both teams If only. I would quite willingly rugby tackle that chap on the gate at Coventry who lets them back into the pits if I was 50 years younger. Must admit it hasn't been so bad lately so hope they get a move on tonight. Is Dave Robinson the referee? He'll keep his eye on the clock. Is it raining yet? As long as you keep away from Hinckley you should be okay. ....foreverblue.....According to bookies it's Coventry's to lose, lets hope the bookies are wrong. Coventry's to lose? They've obviously taken some bad advice from someone. My prediction is Bees 42 - Pirates 48. Game over but I couldn't care less because it's not Poole beating us, just a selection of the best guests they could get.

mikebv 10,240 Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Regarding the price hike i think that is a complete insult and yet another case of a promoter taking the P*ss out of the fans, i would stay at home if i was a Bees fan, its not even like you would be lifting the trophy if you win tonight as only the first leg, things like this just leave me shaking my head and questioning just how out of touch are the people who try somewhat badly to run our sport. To be fair... It is a final and many sports have a higher tariff for their respective finals, many a lot higher than three quid... I can see why some people maybe peed off but you do have to remember that this increase tonight will be partly to pay for the winners and losers medals for all the riders who are eligible to receive one, and as at the last count that number stood at 48 (with many being eligible to receive both )!! Then a normal admission fee would have seen the two finals make a loss!! Edited October 17, 2014 by mikebv 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,081 Posted October 17, 2014 i think we will miss Josh G tonight got 12 last time at Coventry although Danny King is very capable and has a good record at Coventry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenny bee firefly 103 Posted October 17, 2014 i think we will miss Josh G tonight got 12 last time at Coventry although Danny King is very capable and has a good record at Coventry. To be fair that evening josh scored his points from a second string berth against a totally out of touch hansen and the bee's reserves ! King has scored well from the heat leader position on all his visits to brandon this season ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted October 17, 2014 Weather been warm and dry all day. Think track should be able to take a bit of water if does rain. Especially if they have run a plough round the outside to suit Chris Harris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Tyrrell 16 Posted October 17, 2014 Will there be a second half tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted October 17, 2014 Its strange but I actually feel more confident that we can win at Poole than tonight (although both would be great) esp now look at Poole's guests tonight compared to monday. King should do really well as riding as a second string and usually scores well at Brandon as a heat leader and Shamak of course always goes well around his home track.

Rob B 1,245 Posted October 17, 2014 The weather front coming in from the south west is looking rather dodgy abit like last night looking to arrive over Brandon about the same time as last night as well. Hope it stays find for the next four or five hours. Think it will be after 9.00, so as long as they get on with it, should be ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted October 17, 2014 Currently Driving past Worcester and it's drizzling that annoying amount that's too little for intermittent wipers. Hopefully stays that way the rest of the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
