Great to see a sudden recovery from Hans Andersen as he's riding in the Polish play offs today!! Cheating as most of us always thought they were.

Harris at Belle Vue certainly weakens Lakeside as its his worst track by far. The Hammers look like they have surrendered already

Surprise surprise. Poole cheating again! And yet Steve and his barmy Poole army will still try and defend this one. Then again they did the same with North last year. Looks like Belle Vue and Wolves had them running scared which forced the change

We all saw it coming. Typical Poole. Let's hope Lindback is as poor Monday as he was yesterday in the GP. Although any points would be an improvement on Hans And Hans Andersen was? 😂😂😂 Antonio is a much better rider

When did he get a Rentruck as hasn't had one all season? Sounds like somebody starting a rumour and you have just heard it as others have been passing it on. Josh was still very complimentary of Jason even when he was out injured

You are like one of those kids in the playground. "I know him best" "no he's my friend not yours" You are not the only person to know any information about Poole or Ford. Other people actually do. Yes you may handout speedway stars or whatever it is you do there but a lot of what you put on here is from what you have read online or heard around and can often be incorrect.

Meant to be Kaspazak unless he has pulled out. Not sure if they would pick Harris as he's not good at your track. As somebody who wants Belle Vue to win, I hope they are going with Chris 😉

How will this effect the ELRC or even next year?

Predictive typing. Your answer?

Will Holder actually turn up for this meeting at Wolves or will he be running scared again 😉

Why. Which rider lives in Cornwall?

When he rode for Belle Vue & Birmingham he often had off nights against Coventry 😉

CHRIS Harris says he needs to rekindle the spark in his career after submitting a written transfer request to Coventry Bees owner Mick Horton, <b><i>writes Observer speedway reporter Robin Allen. The 33-year-old made what could be his last appearance for the Bees last Friday as they lost 41-48 to Kings Lynn at Brandon. It capped off a miserable campaign for Gary Havelocks side who have won just one meeting on the road this season and they finished 14 points away from the Elite League play-offs. I just feel I need something to get me going, said Harris I think I sort of sloped in the chair and become stale. Its always hard being here as long as I have, you feel like you are part of the furniture spending so many years here with two years out on loan. Everyone expects you to come here and do everything, scoring points which I am paid to do, but I just wanted something different. I spoke to the misses to see what she thought and Emma is from Coventry, it is her club, but I want to do what is best for my career because I am not 21 anymore, I am a long way from that. We emailed Mick in the right way and asked if my name could be put out there to other clubs, I even said I am not bothered if he does not sell me, I will go out on loan just for a year to rekindle that spark and get me going. Long-serving Harris celebrated his testimonial early this year having spent 11 years with the Bees after signing from Peterborough in 2004. In that time he has won three league titles at Brandon including the treble-winning season of 2007. The only seasons he missed was 2011, when he was loaned to Belle Vue at a time when Coventrys participation in the league was in doubt due to the winter of discontent. He then made a local loan move to Birmingham in 2013 but returned to lead the Bees to the Elite League Grand Final the following year. This year however, the Brit has struggled domestically for Coventry and in the Grand Prix which resulted in him being overlooked for Great Britain in the World Cup in July. Harris added: The Grand Prixs have been terrible again, we have got going in the last few meetings with the speed and with the engines we got changed, which has got better. With Coventry I just think I need new surroundings every day because my workshop is here and I am here every day. I need to go to a club where I am not there every day. I have not really thought where I want to go, I want to make it clear though, that I have not spoken to any clubs yet and none have spoken to me, it is just something I have been thinking about for a while. With the last home meeting last week, I just wanted to let Mick know so I could say farewell to the fans and let Mick have the opportunity to make plans for next year, whether I was in his plans or not I do not know. I feel that I am a part of Coventry, I have been here so long, it is a great club, I love the club and it will always be a club that is close to my heart, I am sure that I will come back and maybe finish my career there.

5 from 4 rides is very poor from Lindgren. Huge let down again. Extremely weak compared to Poole's number 1. Wolves out of it. Poole are already one foot in the final

Tai said one of the reason he's struggling is the weather is a bit funny at Poole tonight. Anybody know what he means?

"Was Howarth harsh on Ellis" asks Nigel? That was nothing compared to what Holder did to Freddie in heat 1 Adam Ellis bottled it

Fricke and Jacobs are struggling on this track. Should be a lot better at home. Has Jacobs still got the flu?

Can now see why Tai only returned at the end of the season when Wolves mainly had home meetings 😂😂 Joking aside, 0,0 from a world champion riding as a 2nd string is very poor and letting Wolves down big time. Holder looking very impressive.

Nobody warned him about the ruts and holes that are now in the Poole track. He found out the hard way 😂 Wolves are going to need better from Woffy. In one of the easiest positions and still came last. Sam Masters is riding well in the heatleader position so far

Why is the track so wet and greasy? Neither team look confident on it. Very poor racing wise so far

Didn't go through the card against Coventry recently, beaten in 3 of his rides and that was at home so wouldn't expect him to go unbeaten away tonight You should have more faith in your own riders. Holder is riding well at the moment so should score well. Most people know Poole are favourites for tonight.

Certain teams yes

I am hoping Kaspazak rides for Coventry against next year (with AJ as back up 😉) I would like to see Garrity & King back with the bees. Wouldn't mind ex bees Kylmakorpi or Zengota either. Max Fricke would be good as well. I guess it will depend on rule changes and averages. If there will be a draft list, heatleader list etc

Wolves was the word at Brandon on Friday

Paul Starke. Miles better. Only a Poole fan would see that Newman achieving a 5 average in a reserve spot all season means he's irreplaceable 😉
