I'm not surprised by Rye House's poor start. I was more surprised when people rated them as a play off team or even title winners.I am one to advocate "give it some time" but noticeable last night no Rye House rider in double figures.
Need a better result tonight but already struggle to see us getting 40, hope to swallow humble pie though.
p.s. is Nick Morris on one of Ivan Maugers 600cc bikes? what a start to the season.
As a bees fan I have watched 5 of the 7 in my team. The reason they are on bargain averages is due to a decline of form over the last few years or very inconsistent form. There is no real number one to the team. Watt has been shocking for a while now but often blames the tracks rather than himself. Sadly that's why he was let go by Poole & Leicester. They are average at reserve compared to some teams.
Harris needs plenty of dirt on a track and then you will see the best of him.

Do you honestly think I made it up that the meeting has been postponed and re-arranged for Thursday 20th April.
Have a look here and note the times of the articles.

Where is it confirmed that it's postponed tomorrow? If that is the case then how can they have a facility for a rider whos meeting was postponed in advance?

BOSS will be running a coach to Rye House for the Challenge match on Saturday May 6.
The coach will leave at 2.30pm, departure point to be advised. The cost should be £14, dependant on numbers.

Think Belle Vue will win this
Prediction 50-40
I have heard lots of positives about the track so far after the first couple of meetings. Sounds like it's even better than last year 👍🏻

But dont go back M3, you'l spend the night going on lenghty diversions.
Thanks 👍🏻

SUPPORTERS interested in car sharing for next Wednesday's match at Poole are asked to get in touch with us.
If you plan to drive to Wimborne Road and could offer a lift to other supporters, please let us know your details and where you would be starting from.
Likewise, if you would like to go to the meeting but cannot drive there, send us your details and where you would be able to get to in order to be picked up.
Please contact info@savecoventryspeedway.com if this would interest you, and we will try to put you in touch with someone who can help.
Though many riders now have either full-time or temporary places in other teams, all riders with the exception of Kenneth Bjerre who now races for Belle Vue have remained committed to riding for the Bees, meaning fans have a team to support on the road
Wednesdays meeting at Poole Stadium starts at 7.30pm.

No squad members this year

They would like to hear from anyone who would be interested in travelling, and they are confident of securing a suitable departure location for car parking.

All Stefan did was beat the other 3 reserves which reading all these post doesn't sound that hard. Yes would improve team a bit but not much 7 rides as well.
He was in the mix the whole time and was just beaten on the line by Thorssell which is brilliant at home. Much better than the 2 reserves you currently have who never look like scoring much at all and that's even at home
-
It was always said that these meetings would be Coventry select teams, made up of Coventry riders from over the years. not always the 2017 line up. This has been the case each time. Bjerre & Kerr had never really raced for bees. Rory & Bomber give it more of a bees feel. Stefan is an ex bee, same with Howarth who is due to guest soon. Bates couldn't help being injured.
The main thing is to keep Coventry in the public eye and on track. I think the more challenge meetings the better. I really miss not seeing the bees riding.
I think it's great what Jeff & those other behind the scenes are doing. Let's keep the faith & keep fighting

Can see this happening more in these meetings as the season kicks in. Heard at Peterborough it was hard to get two riders out for heat 15.
Stefan is in heat 15 tonight rather than bees riders.
Would Wolves be able to replace one of their current reserves with Stefan?
-
Why no Kerr either?
Sickness apparently
It's a shame as we only have a handful of meetings and here we are with K Bjerre, Bates and Kerr.
Can see it being very one sided now
-
Josh is definitely a rising star. I look forward to seeing him ride so this is a disappointment.
Will definitely be a wolves win now with bees having no Kenneth Bjerre or Josh Bates but at least we have speedway 🐝
-
Where is Bates?Stefan Nielsen in for Bates.
Definitely weakened
-
Should be a wolves win as we have no K Bjerre who is flying at the moment and a half fit L Bjerre.
That said, it's just great to have racing to look forward to.
Thanks to Wolves for hosting it 👍🏻

Sunday 09 April 2017
COVENTRY supporters are set to head to Wolverhampton in big numbers for the Keep Bees On Track challenge fixture on Monday.
The match is the first to be specifically arranged as part of the campaign efforts to raise funds for riders affected by the clubs late withdrawal from the SGB Premiership, and to ensure the name of Coventry Speedway remains firmly in the public spotlight even though they cannot compete in the league this year with Brandon Stadium unavailable.
Monmore Green was the venue of several of the Bees most famous away wins in the Elite League days, including numerous triumphs in the Greg Hancock/Billy Hamill era, whilst the Bees Treble-winning season of 2007 saw them victorious on all three of their visits.
Recent successes at Wolverhampton have involved vital contributions from Jason Garrity, whose riding style is ideally suited to the circuit, and Garrity was part of a spectacular late comeback in June 2015 when four 5-1s in the last five races saw the Bees turn a 27-33 deficit into a spectacular 50-40 win.
There will be a link to the glory days of ten years ago on Monday as former Coventry rider Rory Schlein comes into the team as a replacement for Kenneth Bjerre.
Lasse Bjerre, however, has declared himself fit to ride despite a heavy crash at Somerset on Friday which caused him to miss a meeting at Workington the following evening. The Dane, who also had a spell with Wolves in 2014, expects to be recovered after a weekends rest.
Elsewhere, Danny King leads the side at No.1 whilst Josh Bates impressed at reserve in Leicesters narrow defeat at Monmore last Monday and top-scored in Coventrys win at Peterborough last month.
Meanwhile legendary former Coventry promoter Colin Pratt takes charge of the side, having been a team manager of the Bees between 1998 and 2012.
Wolves have a familiar look about their team although inconsistent results in the early weeks, especially in their lower-order, means this is an important night for the home side to look to find form.
Admission is available at £15 adults, £10 concessions, £5 juniors and £1 children. Normal admission can be paid, however, at £18, £13, £7 and £1, via a special turnstile the difference will be a donation to the Coventry fighting fund, administered by the Nuneaton Speedway Supporters Club. The Committee strongly encourage supporters to use this turnstile if at all possible.
As with the recent Challenge match at Peterborough, supporters are also encouraged to show their club colours via flags, banners, caps and club clothing, and we will again have our photographers out in force.
WOLVERHAMPTON: Fredrik Lindgren, Kyle Howarth, Adam Skornicki, Jacob Thorssell, Sam Masters, Max Clegg, Nathan Greaves.
COVENTRY: Danny King, Lewis Kerr, Jason Garrity, Lasse Bjerre, Rory Schlein, James Sarjeant, Josh Bates.

Bates is this weeks 3rd top scorer (new weekly feature on the BSPA twitter)
Therefore I think he was a big miss compared to his replacement who only managed 1pt
-
Surely most would give it another go, i would support my club through thick and thin.
I agree. I would love to have speedway at Brandon this year 😥

Sounds like a great night for BWD
There's no point Rye House having a slick track and then signing riders like Nicholls & esp Harris who need to be able to race. Bomber hates it slick.
When I didn't rate this team as a play off team, some questioned why but tonight partly showed.
Yes they are known riders with lots of EL experienced but they all fit in the same team due to a decline in their averages due to a drop in form over the last couple of years.
They are known for being very inconsistent

Leicester have really missed Bates tonight
-
A good win for Swindon. RR actually works in their favour as Ellis wouldn't have scored anywhere near 10 with his poor start to the season.
Rye House are made up of very inconsistent riders. Apart from watt who usually struggles to score
-
Watt has been beaten twice already by BWD!
0,0 so far at home

Am i missing something Riss has started the season very well.
He always makes claims that Poole are weakened whilst the team they are against are made stronger by missing key riders.
No Bates for Leicester is a big blow, esp when you think how many rides he could have taken
Poole V Somerset Ela & Somerset V Poole 14/4/17 Good Friday.
in SGB Premiership Speedway League

Kaspazak has started the season in poor form for Poole while Morris has been riding well.
That's the reason why Poole are sticking with the guest over their own rider who is free.
Poole should be able to get 7pts today against a average looking Somerset team
