1   Chris Harris
2️⃣ Dan Thompson
3️⃣ Connor Mountain
4️⃣ Adam Roynon
5️⃣ Danny King
6️⃣ Joe Thompson
7️⃣ Freddy Hodder

And 4 riders who have never ridden for Coventry. Strange choice if you’re trying to attract Coventry supporters to attend.

Oxford might be riding which rules out Scott. Good job Poole have no meeting otherwise wouldn't even got Roynon!! A lot of other former Coventry riders have retired by now.

which 4?   Freddy Hodder's granddad rode for the Bees so has connections with the club.  The Thompson twins may not have ridden in the Bees side but started their speedway on 125's at Brandon , Connor Mountain rode in Cov colours in 2018, Chris Harris, Danny King and Adam Roynon were definitely Bees.

Mountain rode for the Storm. The Thompson twins regularly rode as mascots before meetings at Brandon.

Oxford are riding on Wednesday against Plymouth which also rules out former Bee, Ben Barker.

The forecast leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately

And that. ladies and gentlemen (whether you self-identify as such or not) is a symbol of where the sport is going wrong, if you have to target the grandparents generation for your income stream.

If being a mascot qualifies you, then how about programme and raffle ticket sellers?

Surely 4 guests is 'standard' these days? 

Just want and hope to see some action....not too fussed about the opposition.

Harris/King are worth the entrance fee alone at PB!

And if you dont?.....'there would be hardly any supporters'....it is what it is....unfortunately!

Take no notice; he is just doing his usual thing. His day will have gone badly if he didn't come on here and complain.

Someone trying to be constructive about connections.

The opposite side of the spectrum.

Criticism is always welcome as long as their is a constructive way to redeem it.

Most riders still around from the Bees era are either riding elsewhere or busy doing jobs, who would you like to see in the Coventry team?

Well done to all at Birmingham for helping to keep the name of Coventry in the publics eye and lets live in hope of a return one day.

In the spirit of finding fault with this fixture....
When did Coventry move to the the northeast.
And who thought the word "demolition" was in good taste in the Coventry team name, given the sword of Damocles hanging over our stadium?

 

And just in case anyone thinks I'm being serious, you clearly don't know me.
