Steve0 5,517 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) What about the paying public?You should ask that to the Coventry team! Also, I don't think there were many paying public from what I saw. Edited June 1, 2015 by Steve0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have gone, that would have been MY choice knowing the forecast. Some you win, some you lose..It's the way it was all conducted that is the issue for me Edited June 1, 2015 by Jacques 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 1, 2015 http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3192 Very Interesting and honest podcast with Horton about tonight's meeting. A extremely low day for the sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted June 1, 2015 It's the heat 10 rule that's the farce! If the losing team knows it's going to get called off after heat 10 then of course they would ask for an earlier abandonment. Why wait till heat 10 if it isn't safe before that? If the the track is the same after heat 10 than it was in heat 9 then do heat 11 and so on. Remember before heat 10 Bees were still very much in the meeting but they knew it would be called after heat 10 as it wasn't safe before that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted June 1, 2015 Can't see how Poole are to blame. The match official said race, Poole were ready to race and Bees downed tools on the principle of rider safety. I do not think we have heard the last of this. Well done to Poole who were the better side on the night in the conditions. Poole are to blame for everything! (apparently) If Havvy cared about rider safety he would have wanted it off after heat 5. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted June 1, 2015 The heat 10 rule isn't the issue. The issue is the way it is applied by weak officials who lack the balls to call off a meeting after 8 or 9 heats, or having deemed a track safe stick to that decision beyond heat 10. Pearson banging on on sky about getting to heat 10 hardly helps. Warsaw was another example where weak and incompetent officiating was the chief issue (note not comparing Warsaw track to this one) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phlipphlopp 3,913 Posted June 1, 2015 Thank You SKY 10 heats of crap for £18. Pay per view now is it ? Most moronic comment on the whole thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,355 Posted June 1, 2015 http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3192 Very Interesting and honest podcast with Horton about tonight's meeting. A extremely low day for the sport. Thats a very good and honest appraisal from Mick Horton. And hotfoot after that really something needs to be done to correct it. As he said, and he's quite right Coventry would have lost a lot of money tonight, save for their Sky share. But the bottom line was and he's right what he says, for a top top meeting that was not a good advert for British Speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted June 1, 2015 What a load of bloody rubbish. Did he say the same after the Cov vs Lakeside meeting? Did he f**k! Can't really compare the two. Weather much worse for this one. Not being allowed to prepare the track isn't good either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G the Bee 639 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Pay per view now is it ? Most moronic comment on the whole thread. I suspect what he's saying is that he paid 18 quid to get in when really the meeting should have been cancelled. As a result, he had to sit through '10 heats of crap' just to satisfy Sky.

pugwash 3,208 Posted June 1, 2015 Harris did want to ride the last heat you could tell by his body language and the gestures he made at the cameras after it was run............Havvy really needs to stop throwing his toys out of the pram..............its not going to do him or the team any good.............. Harris seemed to point at Havvy and gesture that he's off his head. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
