Studland Bee 177 Posted February 14, 2015 Brilliant news, well done Mick. I really like this young man, great talent and potential, British and a real character. More good news from the Coventry camp. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted February 14, 2015 Brilliant news. Garrity is now a bees asset and Kennett is a Rye House asset. Makes a lot of sense and feel we have got the much better end of the deal 🐝 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacques 3,114 Posted February 14, 2015 Sound business. At last we're rid of Kennett, what a waste of £30k he was! It's great to have Jason as a proper Bee In other news, Poole are still sweating over Ward, shame innit! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dornier 797 Posted February 14, 2015 Worst bit of business Coventry ever did when they were forced into buying Kennett, a total waste of money. Should get our money`s worth out of Jason, well done to Mick ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naffer 442 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Good news ,I don't see Kennett as being bad business tbh ,he has been loaned out a few times to offset the purchase price and now we have upgraded for a right little terrier.i am assuming it was a straight swap. Up the bees Edited February 14, 2015 by naffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up the bees Doubt very much it was a straight swap. I would imagine Mick had to top it up a bit . Dont have any idea how much loan fees are but I doubt very much they recouped the massive fee they paid for him...

SCB 0 Posted February 14, 2015 Doubt very much it was a straight swap. I would imagine Mick had to top it up a bit .Kennett is a proven performer. Garrity is potential. I'd imagine the two cancel each other out TBF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YerRopes 3,009 Posted February 14, 2015 I'd be happy with the swap if I were a Bee's fan... Only one of them is going to get better. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benson30uk 9 Posted February 14, 2015 I would think Kennett and about £5000 would be right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,507 Posted February 14, 2015 Benson, you must be on the wind up. Kennet is the better rider by far at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Benson, you must be on the wind up. Kennet is the better rider by far at the moment.Lol. Did you ever watch him ride in EL for bees. Went from 8point average to a 5point one. aside from the cheating, Kennett only seems to be able to preform well for couple of months and then loses all form. Sadly he seems to be going backwards whilst Garrity is a young lad, keen to learn and keeps getting better. Look at last years British final Kennett scored 3 whilst Garrity scored 9 including race wins over Woffy & Kennett and a place in semi final.

philfromcov 326 Posted February 15, 2015 I watched Kennet do a passing move once... 1976 for white city pity it was his dad Always looked like he was going to but just never did 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted February 15, 2015 Let's not re-write history. I'm not Kennett fan, never really was. But we signed him on 6.5 and he averaged about 8 that first season so that first season it was too hard to criticize. But he was frustrating, he used to buzz around the guy in front of him, going wide and trying to cut back but did he ever actually manage to pass anyone that way? He wasn't always bad and is a decent enough rider. But equally, he cheated, he cheated while riding as a Bee and I would prefer it if my club had as little an association with cheats as possible - especially those who's cheating cost us. I'm glad he's gone but don't make out he was always the anti-Christ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted February 15, 2015 It seems Horton and Hansen are in dispute over Kevlars. Hansen wants his money back but I always assumed riders get there money back when they are returned? I'd just pay him back, not worth the hassle. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
