Coventry 99 % Certain To Be In Elite Next Season Acording To Sandu

[Starman2006 2,356]

so do we have 10 teams then or 9 or is it still 8

 

 

Still 8.

[The White Knight 9,039]

Still classed as the play off's, whats the bloody difference. And you call me pathetic!!

 

 

****sigh****

 

NO Starman - it is NOT the Play Offs - I said a different Competition A LEAGUE CUP (containing the Teams that would have been in the Play Offs had there been any).

 

My idea was to stop all of this hostility by having TWO Competitions. The League Championship (Won by the Team collecting most Points over a Season) and The League Cup which would be competed for by the top six or eight Clubs.

 

Two Trophies = a possibility of TWO seperate Winners. Now, at present, there can only be one Winner - and - that is what is causing all the trouble here - as far as I can see.

 

I am only trying to get a positive argument aceross to stop people feeling robbed of their rightful place as League Champions. I am offering a way that the top Teams can play each other for a Trophy SEPERATE to the League Championship.

 

This way it would stop CVS, Mr. Ford, Mr. Sandhu and Mr. Trump or anyone else for that matter cribbing because they lost the Play Offs.

 

I give up.

We have all seen riders score bucket loads of points from reserve only for the points to dry up once moved into the main body of the team. So there is no guarantee of a comparable points haul.

we beat poole by 22 points over both legs , so if pawlicki had rode at another position he would.nt have scored 4 points over 2 legs and we would'nt have won , to be honest i wish we had'nt then this whole situation would'nt have arisen ,

Its not quite that simple.

If Pawlicki had scored 11 points less that would result in a 22 point swing so the play offs would have been tied if that were the case. If he had scored 12 points less that would result in a two point win for Poole. (Failure to score one point results in a two point swing to the opposition.)

Yes they were robbed . I can see now why they are so bitter about our hollow victory .

I am not saying that they were robbed.

Just pointing out the flaws in your logic.

It makes a big difference having a rider like Pawlicki at reserve which is why Cov are desperate to keep him on the 4.

PLEASE BSPA drop the Play Offs and let's get back to some sanity.

I have put a lot of thought in to this - and - I am sure it is the right way to go.

 

How can it be the right way to go? Poole would have won the league in July so the rest of the season for all the other teams would have been of no consequence. With the play-offs there was still the fight to get into the top four and the excitement of the semi's and play off final. Surely no-one could deny what drama it was? I showed my son and his wife heat 6 at Poole and they were both so impressed they watched the whole of the meeting even though he's previously said he can't understand what I see in Speedway because first out of the gate wins.

 

.....Stevebrum......

Amazingly you have just picked my posts and name checked me out of accident then.

 

I can't be bothered to check but from memory I've replied to posts from ladyluck, alan_boon, starman2006, Eastern Wolf, The White Night and just one of yours over the past couple of days. In fact one of your quotes was actually a reply to Eastern Wolf and wasn't to you at all. Try not to get so paranoid because unfortunately you're not lucky enough to have a stalker.

Taken from the Coventry website, Stevebrum:-

 

OFFICIAL STATEMENT - FRIDAY DECEMBER 10

 

 

Friday 10 December 2010

WE had hoped to bring news to Bees & Panthers fans on the current situation regarding the respective clubs dispute with the BSPA; however we have encountered delays.

 

We have engaged a specialist competition law barrister to represent us as, in our view, we have been given no option by the BSPA but to do so. Efforts to seek resolution remain ongoing and mediation has been offered to the BSPA to which we await a response from the BSPA legal team.

If we are unable to achieve resolution by way of mediation, we assure our fans that we shall do all that is possible to seek legal redress as advised by our respective legal team and specialist counsel.

 

What about the comment he made to fans at the support day when he told them what was offered was `silly`.

No mention of that tho.

Well, I'm not bitter about your victory in the play-offs, speedibee.

The best team won - and that was Coventry. No doubt about that.

 

Now can we move on to next season, please?

Managed to catch up with the rest of the thread after a pleasant stroll down the Beach and some Brekkie, so here goes:

 

Tony McCoy is a horse racing jockey.

Is that the REAL McCoy?

I cannot believe that Coventry fans can be so arrogant as to blame anyone other than their own management for this mess.

No disrespect intended, but you must have been living under a rock lately, Jack, not to notice the ignorance & arrogance exuding from that quarter since before the play-offs.

no one on here knows anything as yet

God knows how many threads, pages and posts have contributed to this sorry tale; all full of sound & fury, signifying nothing.

So, for the last three weeks you've been banging on about the situation being Matt Ford / Poole's fault. This week it's all King's Lynn's fault that Coventry are out of the Elite League.

It's getting harder & harder to keep up with the Coventry Conspiracy Theorists, Screamer.

I can't believe that people actually took Rosco's bait. He was taking the michael, pulling ones leg, extracting the urine, it was a wind up for God's sake, why would a speedway club be signing a national hunt jockey???!!!!!!???

After the Play-offs last year, where it helped to be a Motocross Rider in the first leg, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to bring in even more hurdles rather than risk a level playing field - or track for that matter.

 

OK, seconds out, round 4,956,453.

Coventry were helped not by a wet track in October hello!

 

But by an Aussie gp rider who bottled it, averaged 4.80 over tone two legs

A gp rider who couldn't beat a 17 year old pole at his home track,

 

Thats why Poole lost

Shamek ia a smokescreen can we move on now?

[Steve0 5,517]

An absolutely disgraceful comment

I unreservedly apologise but I didn't make the comment - I merely pointed out that I didn't know what it meant and I wish I hadn't asked

[Daniel Smith 5,679]

The King's Lynn promotion did get back to me on Bookface last night and have advised that none of the Peterborough riders are included in the transfer embargo.
