Nice words of support from Leicester Lions fan Dave Burton on the Facebook 'Save Coventry Speedway' page. Pillock.

Have I missed something?

Probably the only alternative night David would be willing to change to would be Friday and I can't see Coventry being happy with that as quite a few fans go to both tracks. Who knows what will happen in 2017 though.

If you delete your account completely you can look at the forum as a guest but can't see the topics in General Discussions and I have an idea The White Knight wouldn't like to miss those. Personally I think it's a daft idea to start a thread saying you are leaving, especially if you aren't. Lots of forum members have left without any dramatic announcement. Just take a break, read the posts and don't respond. Easy enough.

The promoters are probably ganging up together to keep him off permanently because he understands the rules better than some of them do.

I hope you are right.

Yes. When Mr Sandhu has got his millions from housing he won't be bothered about a couple of sports. Remember he bought the stadium in the first place with the intention of building houses on the land and Speedway owes him nothing the way he was treated when he wanted everything to be fair and above board.

Am I looking at the right race? Red flicked his back wheel out on the back straight and Yellow fell. I haven't named the riders because I didn't have the sound on otherwise the blinking dog wants to watch as well so I don't know which is which.

Red's fault. Terrible rolling start by the rider in White though ~ glad it's not like that these days and the race would have been stopped.

Doubt it once they realize they've got to hand over £17 or £18 to watch fifteen races. Not only that but how many tracks have 3 consecutive meetings? Attend 2 and then find there isn't another for a couple of weeks. Result? Lost interest and can't be bothered. I quite fancy that idea for Coventry's first match against Poole for the Elite Shield or whatever it's called.

Fills arenas indoors not standing/sitting outside in the cold and rain. I don't think Speedway will ever appeal to the masses again no matter what changes are made so unfortunately people will have to put up with us oldies sitting on folding chairs until we're no longer able to get our weary legs to the stadium. We're all doomed.

2016?

Unfortunately my dog is always asleep and wouldn't appreciate me waking her up for some inane conversation.

Yeah.....right. We'll see.

Bet they're not 'cos he's at work so probably has the use of a nice computer. Anyway, as I've said before I think the majority of Shawn's mistakes are purely due to him typing quickly and not bothering to check when he's finished. He's a good speller ~ all the letters are there but not necessarily in the right order.

If I was a regular at Kings Lynn the one thing I would want before any of the above is some sort of screen built so no 'sun breaks' were needed. At the Coventry match it was ten past eight before the riders came out for the first race so we were standing around in the cold waiting for 40 minutes and yes it was cold in spite of the sun as there was a biting wind. Sorry but I couldn't regularly put up with that and it was enough to put me off going again.

Leicester speech is so common.

Good post.

I like JK and am sorry he's no longer in the Coventry team. I reckon he will do well for Wolverhampton and he won't necessarily be riding in the number 1 position anyway.

He's not a poor speller he's just too lazy to read through his posts and put the letters in the right order, but with years of practice I'm quite an expert at swapping them around and making sense now.

Not really as it passes the Winter away and this one seems interesting enough. The only genuine intentional dirty move I can remember is Mick McKeon and Mike Lohmann at a Belle Vue v Halifax match back in the 80's (I think) when both riders ended up in hospital. I can't recall now which rider started it off on one bend but the other one retaliated on the next one.

Good job Greg Hancock doesn't ride over here then as we are continually being told he is 45.

SCB is multi talented and has a lot more things than Speedway to have a rant about. In fact I don't think he is on any Facebook Speedway groups.

That's me finished then.
