Noodles 1,337 Posted March 26, 2015 What a bloody joke. Riders shouldn't be allowed to chose. There are rules that dictate how it works. EL club gets priority if rider is owned by EL or NL club but PL club get priority if he's owned by a PL club.You've missed the bit that states that an arrangement can be made if the NL rider is not owned by either EL or PL. Clearly an arrangement has been made where Lewis will rife all home meetings for his respective clubs. If both away he will ride for Wolves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSmiler 420 Posted March 26, 2015 Should be coming to this for one of my only meetings this year due to work. So I hope the weather holds off and the Bees kick off with a win. Which I think they will easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis says if it's a home meeting he rides for the home team. However Peterboroughs is at home tomorrow but he says he gets to decide?

Game On 1,117 Posted March 26, 2015 Thursday March 26, 2015 COVENTRY will be looking to make the perfect start to their Elite League campaign – with victory over fierce local rivals Wolverhampton at Brandon on Friday (7.30pm). The Buildbase Bees launch their chase for the play-offs with home and away clashes against the Monmore side, as the return fixture takes place on Monday. After a convincing home performance last Friday against Leicester, and with new signing Joonas Kylmakorpi adding significant strength to the middle-order, Bees are optimistic of laying down a marker for the season, with a busy early schedule featuring nine Elite League matches before the end of April. A win by any margin on Friday will be worth three Elite League points after a modification to the scoring system, and Bees feel they have power throughout the team to do just that. Kylmakorpi last rode for the club in 2005, when he helped them to the Elite League title, with skipper Chris Harris also a member of that team. Manager Gary Havelock said: “I know Joonas quite well, I rode with him for half a season in Sweden and he’s very much a seasoned pro and a great all-round motorcyclist. “When you look at his average of 6.33, I believe most of that was achieved last season from a heat-leader spot, and we all know with the new race format, the rides there are way harder than at No.2 or No.4. “I feel he’ll definitely get his average, at least, at most places home or away, so going forward there’s no doubt the move is going to make us a lot stronger, and hopefully we can hit the ground running on Friday. “Speaking as an ex-rider, I do have a lot of sympathy for Jakub (Jamrog), it would have been nice for him to have had more time to see if he could come good, but as Mick (Horton) has said, this is about business and winning meetings.” Wolverhampton are led by top Swedish star Freddie Lindgren, and the evergreen Peter Karlsson lines up as one of their second-strings. They also include Polish newcomer Tobiasz Musielak, whilst former Coventry Storm rider Stefan Nielsen guests for the unavailable Lewis Blackbird, who has a fixture clash with Peterborough in the Premier League Cup. Friday’s match is the start of a busy weekend at Brandon, as on Sunday afternoon Harris stages his Testimonial meeting with a packed schedule of track action in prospect. BUILDBASE BEES (from): Hans Andersen, Jason Garrity, Chris Harris, Danny King, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Stuart Robson, James Sarjeant. WOLVERHAMPTON (from): Josh Bates, Peter Karlsson, Freddie Lindgren, Tobiasz Musielak, Stefan Nielsen, Jacob Thorssell, Ricky Wells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Out of the available riders, Stefan is a good choice of guest for Blackbird. Always rides Brandon well. Weather forecast currently looking good. With it being being the first meeting of the season and a local derby, I would imagine there will be a good crowd. Hopefully the supremes cd has been thrown away and the start/winning jingles Have returned. Edited March 26, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BWitcher 12,453 Posted March 26, 2015 Stefan is a good choice of guest for Blackbird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 26, 2015 Roynon injured so only really 2nd tier riders available. Therefore Stefan is one of the best on the availability list on the Brandon track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Robson has said nothing is broken, which is great news. He is staying in hospital overnight for observation. Kus guests in his place. Interesting choice of guest. Good luck to him. Edited March 27, 2015 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bee 26 426 Posted March 27, 2015 Friday March 27, 2015 COVENTRY’S Stuart Robson has been ruled out of the opening Elite League fixture of the season against Wolverhampton at Brandon on Friday.
