I am utterly and totally confused and don't know what to do for the best next season. First and foremost I love speedway and I attended many of the 'Storm' meetings which I enjoyed. There is nothing more I want than for Coventry Bees to get back on track albeit a new track as Brandon is out of the equation. Last season I got my speedway fix at Peterborough (my favourite track since Brandon closed) Somerset (always a good visit),King's Lynn on ''Holdergate'' evening (less said the better) and Sheffield --- (1st time) Wow! I wish I lived closer and they accepted dogs into the stadium. So am I really going to be helping Coventry Bees get back on track if I spend my well earned cash at National level or am I wasting my time? I can just go to Leicester and possibly see a few of the ex Cov. Bees riders race?

I thought it was just me!

Dodgy weather -- I'm guessing if it rains it will be James's fault?

Good to hear some truths

I think you're looking for a scapegoat. I would be more interested in the ''issues''. If 10 people don't choose to return because they don't like 1 rider -- how are you helping and being loyal to your already struggling club?

You honestly believe that ONE RIDER has ''just about finished Workington Speedway''? I am a neutral but that sounds a very naïve statement to make.

An honest question -- have the Workington riders always been paid on time? You do hear of clubs that aren'd doing very well and losing fans struggle to pay riders.

No blue groove for years? Gosh I must be colour blind.

Absolutely! The Poole track last night was not the usual blue groove and the racing was all the more exciting for it. No injuries sustained either -- I would even be tempted to grace my presence there again one day if the track was always prepared in a similar way.

Do you mean this is|? A forum is about fair debate ,discussion and opinions. I stand by mine and respect yours.

We agree to disagree

Well it's always a matter of opinion. I was there as a neutral visiting a venue I love. The incident happened right in front of where I was and I felt it was an unnecessary 'gesture' by Holder. The nonsense was not putting all 4 back.

Not to mention getting Proctor excluded when he 'persuaded' him to visit the fence.

I was kinda trying to say the same

And you know this because you have facts or ''inside information''? (Despite being a fan of the blue groove track)

I guess Brandon is done and dusted (sorry -- no pun intended re Boooey) and focus is now on a new site for The Bees --- can anyone really give us a REALISTIC hope that a new site for a track will or has been found?

Excuse my ignorance -- is it a foregone conclusion that Doyle will continue to race in Poland? If Poland dictate that their riders can only sign up for 1 other league and Doyle chooses Sweden (more dosh) why on earth would he bless Britain with his presence as he has stated that British tracks are dangerous?

My comment didn't relate to fixed race nights (which is probably a good idea) it's the arrogance of him -- do as I say or not at all. He is doing himself no favours and joining in with the ''whinging'' brigade. I have Aussie speedway friends and have spent time over there watching speedway so please don't think I'm being biased.

Mr Doyle can turn the light off as he leaves.

I feel your pain! I just wish we could 'pay for view' --simples!

Karma

Were you there?

Heartfelt,honest and possibly correct. I hope he can find the correct path.

Ouch indeed. One day they all will outprice themselves.
