Now no Josh Bates tonight for Coventry due to illness so team is 1. Robert Branford (for KK) 2. Jason Garrity 3. Danny King 4. RR (for Woryna) 5. Chris Harris 6. Ellis Perks (for Bates) 7. James Sarjeant So with exception of Harris, it's a team of 3 PL riders and 2 NL riders. Lakeside should be hitting close to 60 in this and a good 3 points to move them back in to the play off places and Wolves in to 5th

Good point 👍🏻

So looking at Arnieg findings, there are actually more now than the last few years as there was meant to be 7 fixtures today. out of those 7 listed fixtures, 2 have been rained off so not really height of summer. Makes this thread very pointless unless you change the title.

I appreciate the earlier call off by management. Saves fans from travelling esp from lakeside. Look at the mess Belle Vue found themselves in last night

Lakeside V Coventry is still on tonight. There are actually another 6 fixtures on tonight you could go to, even with Leicester rained off so I'm not really sure what your point is? http://www.speedwaygb.co/homepage As it goes, with the weather being poor this weekend, it's a good think there aren't too many fixtures in place.

We had heavy rain from earlier than the forecast 8am so the amount of rain might have been a factor

lol I thought the same. Typical that it's been dry and sunny in Coventry from early evening and grounds now dry. Imagine the track would still be very wet

Going to be hard with our top 2 in Harris & Kaspazak missing. Then there could be no AJ either and no Lawson for Lakeside Surprised they did it for then and not the bank holiday Monday

He's recovering from a crash in Poland last weekend apparently

Robert Branford guests tomorrow night at no 1 in place of Kaspazak 😖 Woryna is ruled out through injury so RR instead

Harris hasn't had any clashes this year as the Friday before each GP meeting have been storm meetings instead

Bank holiday Monday would be a good date to rearrange it with neither team having a fixture then and the kids still off school

Why?

Poole's visit to Leicester tomorrow (Saturday) has been postponed. Restaging on Monday 29th August with Poole "dropping in" after BV trip

Watson seems more confident than us lol. As for Fricke, It's great isn't it seeing him in the pits with the boys each meeting. Not very often you see a rider with a rival team every meeting, cheering them on and celebrating their wins like his own team. He definitely has a strong relationship with Coventry 😉

If you can beat Poole on Monday then that would be a big help in your play off fight. Poole aren't great on the road and lost to us on both visits so you have a chance at home. However your rival team Lakeside have a good chance of picking up 7pts this weekend as they are away & home to Cov with no facility for KK

Brilliant news. Even without KK this should be a good meeting.

They had never rode the track at that point or had any meetings so weren't match fit.

Might not help him in drawing a crowd Mikebv but it helps them get the wins. Weather forecast is now heavy rain until 4pm and then sunny after that. The weather has been sunny and dry for a while so can take so much but not if very heavy for that long

If he didn't line up then it would be no facility like king's Lynn found out last week. However surely he will have been told the fixtures and agreed to them in advance

Have to agree. We are poor away from home and yet even we won at King's Lynn and that was when they had Lambert's and rose

Good night for Coventry riders with their PL teams tonight. King got another full max whilst Sarjeant got a paid max for Ipswich. This included a heat 15 5-1 from the pairing. Garrity only dropped 1 point to an opposing rider in Sheffield's meeting against Edinburgh, scoring 12+2 Bates didn't have a great night in the same meeting. Also a good away win for Coventry Storm yesterday at King's Lynn 👍🏻

Coventry

The weather looks terrible for this fixture http://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/cv8/tomorrow

Is that because Stefan & Josh are assets of EL teams so get priority?
