  1. Well, it will affect me but I'm not complaining as it makes more sense to give a discount to students rather than OAP's who on the whole don't do too badly these days. £3 a week extra is not a lot to find. (I can save that for Speedway by doing the 'ASDA Price Guarantee' after my weekly shop.) However, I just hope the promoters will be a bit more understanding to those who don't want to also buy a programme that's gone up in price and list the teams in the proper order rather than alphabetical. Storm admission increased is a bit of a worry though as that will hardly encourage more fans to attend.
  2. lol. Well spotted Neil. I would think he's pretty unemployable anyway as the promoters have more sense thank goodness. As desperate as Leicester are I shouldn't think even they would bother in view of how he messed them around last time.
  3. Not going to be next season though is it and from 2017 onwards who knows whether there will even be a track for Coventry to ride on so Leicester will be okay to take over Friday's. Mind you I should think David is thoroughly cheesed off with speedway at the moment what with all the vandalism problems and trying to get a team together so we don't know what the future holds for Beaumont Park either. Pretty depressing all round.
  4. Can we NOT please!! It's okay for you and the two people who liked your post as you won't be there watching him every week. I will though and the thought of having KK back again is making me feel depressed. That goes for Davey Watt, Lewis Bridger, Troy Batchelor and Kenneth Bjerre as well but I suppose that doesn't leave many other options.
  5. Ah yes thank you. I see the date at the bottom now. I just presumed as it was posted today it was something new.
  6. I didn't think there was anyone around as good as the Thompson Twins...until I saw Harry at Peterborough for the first time. Great little rider.
  7. You don't get to be at the top of the league for most of the season and then finish in 2nd place by having 'average riders.' I think we'd have done very well against Poole if Garrity and Kylmakorpi hadn't got injured. Just bad luck it happened at the crucial part of the season. Depends who the 'Another' is.
  8. Yes.....please sign him Wolves otherwise I'm going to be worried Mick and Neil might have the mad idea to do it.
  9. Me too. Always liked Simon and it would make up for the disappointment of not having Joonas in the team next season.
  10. Probably the best idea but he wouldn't want to lose face by doing that so can't see it happening.
  11. Gawd! Reading these confusing posts it's no wonder that I can never understand the rules in Speedway and gave up trying to work them out years ago.
  12. Are you trying to wind me up? I used to like your posts. Batchelor or Kasprzak ~ what a great choice. Hope it's neither and I'd also include Davey Watt. No thanks to any of them. I'm getting worried now but not as worried as I would be if I was a supporter of my local team.
  13. Is he going spare? I didn't realise. Perhaps a good prospect for Coventry then as he rode really well the last time he was there.
  14. You could save a bob or two by not buying any raffle tickets, taking a flask of coffee and printing your own programme. Of course there is still admission and fuel to find but you could perhaps get it down to £50? Still a lot of money to find though if it's not a good meeting and you don't think you've had value for money.
  15. I don't think you are the only one somehow ~ I can immediately think of someone else. I do find it rather weird though not being keen on him as he has ridden well for Coventry over many years and is a rider that always gives 100%. Edited because I messed the quote up and I like perfection.
  16. Blimey! I was being sarcastic but I wasn't that far out. Good rider that KK ~ I hope Wolves sign him as I know stevebrum thinks he's great.
  17. Yes, it didn't take him long. Sad really. Not funny at all really ~ there are riders I like and others I don't. The season Coventry won the league I think he came in for the last couple of months? (Sorry I don't store useless Speedway information so I'm not sure.) He rode well then but the last time he was in the team he was pretty useless, not interested and kept pulling up when at the back. You've probably noticed him doing the same in some G.P's when he's in 4th place. Well, sorry but those sort of riders annoy me.
  18. There are some things I will never get over or forget and that is one of them. Sorry but I'm pretty good at bearing grudges. More likely it was because Poole were top of the league and Coventry were a mere 4th that didn't go down too well. I'm sure Matt thought it would be an easy victory and didn't expect Bees to beat them home and away. Yes, home and away fair and square so his actions afterwards were pathetic. I thought so 5 years ago and I still think the same now. We don't know that at all as It was nothing to do with Trump. The trouble between the 2 clubs happened afterwards in the Winter. It was purely the actions of a selfish. miserable promoter who didn't like his team losing.
  19. Yes he sure is and he did a bloody good one in October 2010 hiding the fireworks and champagne.
  20. Has it? You know that for a fact do you? I think if Hans hadn't been paid it would have been all over Twitter as he likes to get things out in the open, as per his baby sitting remarks. Being appreciated works both ways so I hope he has a good season at Poole and he doesn't do or say anything to upset the fans.
  21. Do you really think that he just relied on Coventry's wages? Shame he didn't because then he might have made more of an effort. Anyway, I'm sure he'll enjoy being in the Poole team with no baby sitting to do.
