News from tonight's talk in. MASTERS AS GOOD AS CONFIRMED FOR 2017. It's not fully signed sealed and delivered yet but fully expect him to be part of next seasons side. The side was referred to as '2 riders short' with either a 6 and 2 or 4 and 3 likely for last 2 places. Sam is involved in all permutations for 2017 along with Max. Others stuff - Bomber - was spoken to and Wolves were keen to sign him however they never got to talk finances as he was announced by big spending Rye. Klindt - was asked to ride for his parent club but choose to sign for Poole. PA suggested that he hasn't been part of the club for a while due to his average and weren't going to pressurise him into it now. He also said that some quarters of Wolves fans criticising him relentless could have played a part in that decision. Skornicki - is part of some of the permutations for next season. His average confirmed as 7.22 Ricky - isn't in many of the options for 2017. Will have a new championship club to be announced in the morning. Kymlakorpi - he emailed CVS the night he was sacked and gave the club and fans a great review. He said he would have "no hesitation" in coming back to Wolves. Belle Vue -the problems started pre world cup, the council are fully supportive of keeping speedway. The stadium will be more 'people friendly' after feedback received when they re-open. Polish rules - Sweden and UK feel "betrayed" by this ruling. The ISLB are due to meet to discuss this claiming it to be illegal. The conditions set down for the riders are extreme as PA has read Jacob's Polish contract and it's expected he drop any other commitment if his team dictate and as an example He would be expected to go to Poland to attend a shop presentation or opening and cancel all other commitments - OUTRAGE! Promotion and relegation - all clubs supported this with a possible parachute payment for the club relegated. PA - aiming for 10 titles but will remain at Wolves as long as CVS wants him. Hopes to keep as many of the 2016 side as possible. Converted averages - discussion to cap averages at 12 had no support. Confirmed that team averages drop to 42 once riders have ridden 4 home and 4 away matches. Altered to stop teams dropping a reserve for a heat leader. Cradley - there fixtures have to be sorted as there won't be alternate Mondays anymore. More matches for Wolves means we need more Mondays . RIGHTLY SO, LET THE LODGERS GET WHAT THEY ARE GIVEN. World speedway league in Dubai - not happening. Ty Proctor - CVS hinted he will be back in the UK racing next season. Other anecdotes..... CVS thinks the Aussie riders are treaty 'disgracefully'by our government and immigration and with Brexit he hopes they get treated better. One of the reasons why he isn't pursuing buying Sam's contract. CVS recalls a story about when PK was initially refused his work permit from Sweden who stated 'he is not good enough to be a long term rider for this country' and was advised to sign Rosco instead. WHAT A DREADFUL THOUGHT!! Stevebrum over and out.

Patience. Notepad at the ready.

That's debatable. Some posters (and multiple aliases) take things way too far IMHO. I've been banned in the past for altering someone else's post and I accept that is against the rules (although it was only meant to be a bit of fun). Break the forum rules and you will likely get a ban. No one is to blame but the person themselves. And if people get a ban or several bans then so be it.

You would have to ask the mods why but not abiding by forum rules is one guess.

Wolves already have lodgers with Cradley, we don't need or want another one! Perry Barr are going to fortnight racing next season and again I hope their isn't a track share or they would be keen after the fractious relationship they had sharing last time. The only sense if it comes to that would be with Leicester. However hopefully it won't come to that so that the Bees can remain where they are.

Agree with that. However what doesn't make sense is that Sandhu is prepared, at his cost, to put in new fixtures and fittings if Horton signs and agrees. Either he has money to burn or has the ego the size of Warwickshire. And now he cares not a jot and is happy to see the fans without a track, What a guy.

Exactly. Sandhu is the one who made all the promises but is now trying to ensure the Bees don't run. What a hero. Can't say Horton will come out of this with much credit either. What seems clear is that each party is trying to blame each other and none have a care about the team, the club or the fans.

7.65 his PL average with Plymouth.

You know you can rely on a full report.

http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3793 Good news that he is committed to running.

Likely to be Wednesday night.

No new foreigner should be a 4. That would be ridiculous IMHO.

A runner up spot was a terrible season. Still, a nice consolation to win the top medal with the league champions.

Ditto the vast majority of riders, hence why so many want to sign for Poole. Poole got 'out Pooled' for a change. Like you say, a worrying sign of the times when every top flight club would be chasing to sign Klindt.

I agree. Have an arm length of questions for tomorrow! There is obviously a clear plan unless Klindt was meant to sign. Personally I'm still hoping for Masters.

Completely irrelevant, he averaged higher over a full season in the top flight with Leicester. So Poole finally get their man after he snubbed them for Wolves way back when. On paper forming a decent side but a caution over Kurtz and Holder who come with big expectations. Klindt a no brainer signing for any club.

Looks like the rumours regards Grondal were true. Only seen him ride once and can't say I was that impressed. The press release says he will start in the main team but surely you have enough points for a higher averaged rider? Zack I've watched weekly the past 2 seasons and the kid has huge talent. Last season was a bit of a struggle at all levels but he is a promising kid with bags of potential. I wish him all the best and hope Swindon get to see plenty of his ability.

Obviously not. Not all speedway meetings run at night.

They have downgraded to be like Poole.

Several tracks run with a basic set up and no lights.

You gotta feel for the Cov fans. It must be soul destroying. Let's just hope all the events of the weekend don't stop the team competing next season and good news is forthcoming soon or at least news that allows the team to compete.

On the Leicester thread. Anyway all sorted and double standards exposed. Time to move on??

Strange that it was mentioned a statement would be made today and mentioned on the local radio and still nothing!
