I really enjoyed that meeting. It was like watching team GB V Australia all over again. 😉 The track didn't look as good as usual to begin with as it looked slick but still produced some good racing. It was good to see Harris & Wright both get up from being brought off. A good all round team performance. Shame we had to wait until now. It's great to finally have a full team. It was great having Garrity back. At times on track he was all over the place but his 3rd race was due to his seat bracket coming off. The big difference was having him back in the pits. Team look most confident I have seen them this season esp Sarjeant. It was the lower order that impressed me the most tonight. Much better from Woryna who has now adapted to the track. Sarjeant looked much more confident and was one of the only ones not to jump the start lol. As for Bates, what a heat 15!! Great to see him get heat 15 but then to win it over GP Doyle & Tungate was amazing. Question for Lisa & Steve, do you still think King & Bates can only gate 😉 I think those Poole fans who consistently compare Ellis to Bates, saying he's a gater who only beats other reserves, need to take off their blue tinted glasses. The lad has improved so much this year. He dropped only 1pt all night to a Swindon rider.

So Who Is Going To Win The El In 2016?

Coventry were Top of the league for most of last season and winning easily home & away but come August we had injuries tand then lost Kylmakorpi and it all went downhill. Anything can happen as you know. However I think this is one of the closest we have had at the top with Belle Vue, Poole & Wolves all looking capable. -
Coventry are very hard to predict at home. We have beat teams that are tough on paper like Wolves, Poole & Belle Vue but then went and lost to a poor Kings Lynn team (no disrespect) Swindon have riders that all ride well at Brandon and Justin returning to a 2nd string position should see him scoring well again. Doyle is alway very strong at Coventry. Bates joins Sarj at reserve for Cov and Woryna returns to the main team. Predict 42-48 (hope I'm wrong)

The only small crowds we have had have only been for Sky meetings, often meaning we had 2 meetings in the same week. Most of the meetings there have been really good crowds, even with us having a weaker team.

No @max_fricke @WolvesSpeedway tonight due to ongoing problems with a shoulder injury. BV will operate R/R at No.3 ♣️🐾 I'm confused. Fricke looked great riding in Poland yesterday and scored 11+2. Did he aggravate it again? http://m.sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/60665

Your right Lisa. He doesn't pass at all. Not a racer😂 http://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/speedway/10313086/highlights-british-final http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3685 -

😂😂😂😂😂 I'm sure Brady, Newman and Buzz would have him shaking in his helmet, and now back in the real world. 😜 Klindt won the last heat 14 at Poole, so I'm sure Fricke would do it easily -

Polish Xtra/nice Leagues/etc Live On Tv
mdmc82 replied to racers and royals's topic in International World of Speedway
The problem is that the Woryna we see in these Polish meetings is rarely the one that turns up for Coventry. Sometimes it's like watching a different rider. Kacper does seem to have improved abit for the bees over the last few meetings. It's not that fans have anything against Woryna and if he had been brought in as a reserve it would be fine. The problem is the management have brought him in as a 2nd string instead of using the 8 points we had spare. As for Fricke, I would gladly have him in the Coventry team anyday (might see it happen in the future) He's always been a great guest for us and is in the pits at most of Coventry's home meetings. Has a great attitude. Star in the making -

Haha I think you must have missed British final, World Cup and meetings at Brandon if you are calling King a gating tart. It's his gating that often let's us down. Tut tut. In the meetings I have seen Poole in at Brandon and the sky defeat against Belle Vue, I didn't see much racing from the 3 you named, just Gating. I know Ellis is capable as I watch him pass the Coventry Storm riders. Newman has been poor in the meetings I have watched him in so far this season which is why even with others having struggled he's still at reserve. Brady does try hard. Hardly think you have a team of flat out racers though but then on your track that's best. You need to make up your mind as you are calling yourself the underdogs but then selling your team as if they are all brilliant racers. 😉 Poole are the favourites with the bookies. However I think like Lakeside, their form might leave them vulnerable esp with inconsistency with a lot of the riders. Belle Vue are definitely the best team away from home. -

Hardly call him a racer because he caught up with Roynon who is a draft rider. He got 3rd not second as he was unable to pass Bates. 😂 http://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/15837/coventry-poole-el-15-2016 Would hardly call Pedersen a racer. He's always been one of the most boring riders to watch. In the 2 meetings I've watched Poole in at Brandon this year, I would say you have more gaters than racers this year. Hans struggles to pass without riding dirty nowadays. It's only really Holder & at times Buzz who I would call real racers. -
BEES V SWINDON, PREVIEW Sunday August 07, 2016 COVENTRY will be back at full strength as they welcome play-off chasing Swindon to Brandon on Monday (7.30). The Buildbase Bees will be looking to make it two home wins in the space of four days and claim their first win over the Robins this season. They will welcome star No.1 Krzysztof Kasprzak back into their side after he missed the 52-41 loss at Leicester on Saturday. With Kasprzak back in the fold, the Brandon outfit will be keen to dent the Robins top four aspirations and claim three Elite League points. Man of the moment Jason Garrity, who roared to a remarkable 16+1 points at Leicester on Saturday, believes the pressure is off as they look to end a tough season with a flourish. Said Garrity: We want to get another win at home on Monday, and even though we arent going to make the play-offs we want to end the season strongly. We know what were capable of when were all on form and the pressure is off a little bit now, so well just enjoy it and hopefully that will pay off on the track. Supporters who attended Fridays hard-fought win over Leicester at Brandon are entitled to £10 admission for Mondays meeting upon production of their ticket. Kasprzak and Danny King will also be available for photos with their Speedway World Cup medals after the meeting. Kasprzak played a crucial role as Poland won gold at the National Speedway Stadium last weekend whilst King was one of Great Britains silver medal heroes in Manchester. Meanwhile, Swindon also include Australian World Cup stars Jason Doyle and Josh Grajczonek, whilst they have drafted in Tom Perry to guest for the injured Stefan Nielsen at reserve. BUILDBASE BEES (from): Josh Bates, Jason Garrity, Chris Harris, Krzysztof Kasprzak, Danny King, James Sarjeant, Kacper Woryna. SWINDON (from): Jason Doyle, Josh Grajczonek, Nick Morris, Tom Perry, Justin Sedgmen, Rohan Tungate, Charles Wright.

Which bees fans? (Sigh) Yes we get you don't like him but surely even you must admit what a great season he's having. He has had a handful of poor meetings (one after a family funeral) but he's had lots of class meetings where he's been hard to beat. How many riders get a full max at king's Lynn against Iversen. http://www.kandysoft.com/averages/kk_gs.htm

Coventry Bees V Leicester Lions 5/8/2016
mdmc82 replied to Woz01's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There was talk of deal being done of Shamak for Kaspazak but nothing happened in the end. Might be due to Shamak not wanting to ride over here. I guess it would make sense as each of them now seem happiest riding for the other club. Kaspazak has been great this season. Not missed any meeting due to suspicious back pains (and then rode elsewhere like in the past) He even came the same day as a family members funeral when he didn't have to. I would be more than happy to have him as our number 1 next year. It's been refreshing after the rubbish we had to witness at no 1 the previous two years 🙈 On another note, well done bees & lions fans who raised a total of £936.10 for the Speedway Riders' Benevolent Fund at Brandon. Here's a clip of heat 10 from last nights meeting http://www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3685 -

I think he means when we are home and away to Lakeside -
Congratulations to Leicester on the win. Klindt has been very impressive I would take a 11point loss without our number 1 and with his replacement scoring zero. To be honest I expected to lose by more esp when King also had a poor night and Sarj hating this track. The positive of the night was Garrity. Only 1 point dropped to an opposing rider all night. Brilliant to score 16 in the main body of the team, esp after coming back from being out a while with a broken arm. Great to have him back 👍🏻

I thought this was a good meeting and the size and shape of the track left lots of room for passing and racing. I could watch Emil all day. He has such a natural talent on a bike

Lakeside would have to agree for that to happen. It's a good job we aren't in the place off race as crazy having 3 meetings with no facility for your number 1
