    Kemp not riding for Cradley is a huge boost for the Bees. Bees again change their riding order, I like the way Martyn MacDonald changes the order for each opposition. Hoping Bees push Cradley all the way.

    Woz it's for fans like yourself that I will be attending Coventry next week and bringing people with me ..Your approach and attitude is great and I hope you get to watch your bees  for years to come in whatever form just like us brummies do..

    Cheers! I don't like the situation we are in but it is my club. Unfortunately I might not make it next week I'm on a nightshift and at Wembley Monday. It all costs! I will try though!

    So Coventry win easily against virtually a one rider team ...big deal.... 

    Though It was going to be slightly closer but Bees were just too good for IOW. Morley was excellent however. First 4 heats took an hour but fair play the following 11 heats were done by just after 5. Crowd was bigger than last week which is a bonus, i expect a few more when Birmingham visit next week.

    Erm Mick Horton maybe? Only the Eastbourne meeting(s) were below the break even figure. The big question is what type of crowd come along for Cradley, Brum and BV fixtures, these might be the ones that keep it going. Also a bit more promotion to come hopefully.

    A change of promotion would be the best option!

    I know people that went to Buxton and the island that haven't been to a 'home' meeting yet as they won't give Horton a penny..  I suspect a fair few will attend Monmore next Monday as well.

    There was a few who said they wouldnt go Leicester but actually went Sunday. Also I get that fans are reluctant to go to Leicester but there won't be any away meetings if the 'home' ones are not supported.

    I take your point about having Eastbourne twice in a row. However, the Eagles must be one of the more attractive visitors (other than your near Midlands rivals)

    I don't think Eastbourne has ever been an attractive fixture in Bees fans minds. Birmingham, Cradley and Belle Vue will be the fixtures that i think will tempt fans more.

    Yep it was poor. Discussions going on about how the club can raise awareness that meetings are happening and how to get people there. Some people have said they didn't  know a meeting was on. Some ideas floating around and maybe hear what the promotion will do shortly. Having Eastbourne twice in a row and no meeting in 3 weeks didn't help, the Cradley meeting wouldve helped hugely I think but was postponed. Regular 'home' meetings now for the next 9 weeks, see if that will help and fans getting into the habit.

    Bees had a decent win against Eastbourne in their last home fixture but I can see this being a bit tighter. Looking forward to it!

    Nielsen is British let's stop that nonsense. Also Nielsen is a massive upgrade on Shanes, he a much improved rider. The thing that annoys me is that Nielsen is only 'temporary' while the spin that Shanes could be bought back in at a later date is utter rubbish. Shanes was also doing his job unlike most others in the Poole side.

    Congratulation to Robert Lambert on an impressive showing.  He seems to have started this season on top form.  He can only get better as he races against the very best...

    I do hate this format where someone could go through the card and still lose the final race.    Surely it would be much better to add those final points to the ones gained in the heats  to recognise the true champion on the night, rather then the one who just wins that solidary final....  

    Conner coming 2nd  illustrates how bizarre it is ,  He never won a race, yet  Bewley  won 4 races and was only placed 4th.....    

    It's pretty much the format used in all major competitions. These riders have to get used to it if they want to get anywhere in the sport. What it does show is how riders handle pressure and these young riders need that experience.
