  1. Not really a particularly good offer . To get into Mondays televised match for a tenner you need to attend tomorrows match at the normal prices. Most clubs discount Sky matches without any other conditions.
  2. I can remember the times when riders were queuing up to sign for the Bees , and were happy to stay. Can't say that the same still applies, unfortunately.
  3. A good decision from what I saw from my spot in the temporary stand close to turn 3. During Friday's meeting I saw a woman threaten to hit a security guy over the head with a beer bottle when he insisted that she couldn't smoke down in the food area by the maintenance area. In fact there were several very heated discussions with smokers during the evening despite there being many notices stating that the stadium was a no smoking area.My impression of it all was that the security guys did very decent job and dealt with any problems in a very reasonable manner whilst remaing very firm.
  4. And the entrance fee for the" wealthy pensioners"
  5. Even though you couldn't wait to get away apparently.
  6. It seems quite clear to me what the statement means. There needs to be a suitable new site identified in 2017. Then there is an option of a further two years at brandon ( presumably while a new stadium is built). If not it will be the end of the road after next season..
  7. He stated that it gave the bees " short term security" . He said nothing about it being in his hands.
  8. I'm not sure it does say that myself.
  9. The problem with the Bees side is quite simply that it was constructed very very poorly. That was obvious from the moment it was announced , it required changes early on in the season and they weren't forthcoming. The only person to blame for that is Horton, he is ultimately responsible for what happens. There is no point continually aiming criticism at the various riders , the bottom line is that the team building for this year is garbage.
  10. It seems to me that Horton is giving that theory a trial run this season.
  11. There may have been poorer teams , but never such a bunch of untrustworthy incompetents in charge .
  12. Having watched his performance ,both on the track and in the pits last Monday I would suggest probably not.
  13. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/future-homeless-coventry-bees-could-11578057? Some more news .
  14. Judging by Lindgren's pace on Monday there's not a lot wrong with the Gerhard engine . I have no idea why bomber isn't using them this season to be honest.
  15. He is back on GM engines , tweaked by Brian Andersen I believe.
  16. I don't see a deal here for any fan who attended one of the last two Storm matches simply to get the advertised concession price of £10 for Mondays meeting. In fact you could argue that it will have cost them £22. The timing of the announcement "stinks", but not really a surprise.
  17. 5 years of Horton & Watson does feel like a life sentence.
  18. It's not just about success on the track is it though? Horton took on a club with a massive amount of respect throughout speedway. Over the time he has been in control we have seen one PR disaster after another, and his style of management is alien to anything we have encountered in the the history of the club. This year he has alienated a section of his fan base with his admission policy. He doesn't give me the impression that he has the best interests of the fans at heart.
