Jacques 3,114 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Really sad to see him go! He will always be Mr Coventry to me. I can't say I blame him though Good luck Bomber! PS. Please don't go to Poole! Edited September 16, 2016 by Jacques 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) The Horton affect kicking in again we see.If you bother to read both statements you would know Bomber wants a change for him to get back to where he wants to be. Both have said there is nothing untoward. Absolutely gutted. I hope he goes to Wolves as it will do him good. What I want to see is Bomber back to his best, if that isn't going to be at Brandon then I'm fine with that. Hopefully a new Bees legend will replace him. Really sad to see him go! He will always be Mr Coventry to me. I can't say I blame him though Good luck Bomber! PS. Please don't go to Poole! Just no. Surely it's in the rules somewhere that he is banned from doing so?

Dandelion 775 Posted September 16, 2016 Leicester have been in need of someone like Harris since they joined the EL (A second heat leader behind a number 1, so I'm not including Doyle in this) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,823 Posted September 16, 2016 Whats to say he would have missed the meetings? Because he has picked and choose meetings for years and has form for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted September 16, 2016 You sure about that? No, but going on speculation it seems likely. If Kk went back to Poole, would we really be content with King as our no 1 on a 7 point average. Would be absolute cannon fodder, worse than Leicester this year. If the team is going to be weak, it might as well be at a lower level so we can at least get back to weekly speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of heatleaders will be on the move during the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philfromcov 326 Posted September 16, 2016 i can see why he wants to go. career has stalled needs a new challenge to kick start him good luck to him, all the issues around the stadium as well, might as well go now. not keen on the sell bit, (even if someone would?) all a bit SISU! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Plenty of heatleaders will be on the move during the winter. Who will want to join the Bees though? The only rider we're linked with is Fricke and he's barely a heat leader let alone a number one. Edited September 16, 2016 by CB252 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might be to buy a rider who he was keen on last winter but we will have to see about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbee 510 Posted September 16, 2016 Harris is on the downward slope no GP next year probably lost some sponsors. He will score points at some tracks I think he will head to Wolves and double up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Emil Sayfutdinov rode 9 meetings in the season you required 8 meetings to be an asset so he's an asset too. Meaning Greg, Emil, AJ, Pawlicki and Harris are all assets. Only likely to see 1 of them riding for the Bees next season though and I would imagine that Horton has been hard at work trying to sell as many of them as possible! Don't say you weren't warned a few days ago! Hopefully a Harris/Fricke swap of some sort can be agreed. Edited September 16, 2016 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BANANAMAN 330 Posted September 16, 2016 Good Luck to Bomber wherever he rides next season . I for one hope he is allowed to double up & make a good living from our sport. NEVER ever let his club down , rides on Fridays before GPs & ALWAYS takes a guest bookings . Wish there were more like him . Cant fault him .. ALL THE BEST ! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 16, 2016 If only their could be 8 Chris Harris' and every team could have one. You just know he's going to be at any meeting he is due to be at, you never get dodgy excuses or him peeing off to a party or pointless practice sessions. Yes people mock him in the GPs, yes he's always got an excuse for why he hasn't done well but on track he is everything speedway needs more of. Whoever he signs for in 2017 is a getting a 100% committed rider, one who without the stresses of the GP series will probably put a point, maybe even 2 on his average - but best of all he'll do it in the most exciting of ways. Good Luck to Bomber where ever he goes. I'm sure that like Scott Nicholls he'll continue to get a great reception whenever he returns to Brandon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
