mdmc82 2,878 Posted May 12, 2014 Bit of a patched up meeting this one, with only one possible outcome. JK is a wild card in GP so Eastbourne are strengthened by Bridger guesting. Coventry will be missing not only Garrity but will also be missing their top 2 of Harris & Hans. Coventry will have no facility for Hans so have to use a 5pt PL rider at no 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stan jr 40 Posted May 13, 2014 Could. Coventry not call this meeting off in the intrest of fans not getting there monies worth........ seam to remember a similar case not long ago !? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted May 13, 2014 Fo a club that's got managers and promoters in abundance not to spot that going here on this date wasn't a very good idea is laughable. They signed Andersen in November, long before any fixtures were drafted and must have known he was doing SEC again. Would've been a thrashing anyway so no real harm done, but Eastbourne will no doubt suffer with the attendance due to Bees ineptitude. #shambles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Poole did this as they deemed it `damaging to their business`. I think you can call off any meeting to suit if the line up is weak.............................. using the Poole logic.

How were the management supposed to know what date it would fall on? He was allocated this date after the fixture list had been organised Edited May 13, 2014 by Adam Vickers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Cheetah Snr 113 Posted May 13, 2014 Eastbourne's loss as the weather is looking nice but I would think the attendance of away fans will be virtually zero. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was allocated this date after the fixture list had been organised Yep it was announced after the fixture calender was agreed. As Blayne said we stick to the rules so will do as the rulebook says.

Promoters,don't expect punters to be rushing thro the gate to see a watered down Elite league,further watered down with numerous guests,its a big turn off if you didn't already know.
