Walasek has been released and is replaced by Aaron Summers

Summers is a good signing if he will ride as a 2nd string. Not convinced if as a heatleader although that said he couldn't do any worse than Walasek. You know he will give 100% At present, there only looks to be 3 fixtures clashes with Glasgow so should be available for most meetings

Weather sadly looks like it could be the winner. It's been sunny today so far in Coventry so imagine the track could take some rain so depends how much we get. Both teams have had a poor start to the season so this could go either way. Not feeling very confident about this Coventry team at the moment

So we are now in April and still no news about where the new stadium will be or solid information in general. I think we should be very worried.

When you have reserves scoring 17 and you still lose, it shows how bad your top 5 are.

Those still moaning about the solution to the student concession, please can you tell me how many other tracks you can watch speedway at for £5 due to being a student? If you go to Poole you pay full price & at Belle Vue their cheapest student price is £14, as is King's Lynn's. I would say if you are a genuine student then a letter of prove is worth getting if it means you save £12 each meeting. It's those who were trying to con the management who will be more annoyed. As I said, Horton didn't have to offer a student rate as not everybody does. I think it's the weakness of the team that is more of a worry at the moment than somebody having to ask for a letter.

Davey Watt could be at reserve soon. Would weaken Poole if he continues in his current form. He won't be able to be replaced by reserves then

Lakeside's top 5 are looking too strong for Poole's. Looks like those thinking they would go unbeaten all season (such as Pearsen) got in wrong. Well done Lakeside. They have had a really strong start to the season

It's bad that they took money off people yet again for a meeting that was likely to not go ahead. I'm sure it will put a lot of people off buying in advance

Belle Vue appear to still be having problems with the track which is the reason for the call off. http://bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1668

Manchester City Council and BV Arena Limited have confirmed the intention to carry out urgent repair works to a number of sections of the circuit so as to ensure that it is able to successfully host [top flight] speedway events at the new National Speedway Stadium. The decision follows investigations into defects in two sections of the track which came to light due to recent inclement weather and which, along with recent weather conditions, has rendered the track surface unsuitable for racing. Whilst it is disappointing to have to cancel further events, the priority of both the Council and Belle Vue is to ensure the safety of the riders and also the quality of the racing for spectators. They are however confident that the scheduled repair works will provide a permanent solution to the problems that have been experienced since the opening and that the track will be fully operational very soon. Updates on progress of the works and scheduling of race meetings to take place at the stadium will follow next week.

Isn't that a step backwards for him. Easy wins for him in NL league as more of a development league. Wouldn't PL have been better for him.

At least it looks sorted now. Now we just need changes so we have a team worth watching 😉

Very true 😉

Nothing was announced before Coventry meetings. Sometimes it could be good advertisement for the sport as people might not have seen much speedway before so the periscope feeds could give them more idea. It's not like people are going to see any to tempt them anywhere else if Sky are going to call off every meeting for even the slight threat of a shower.

Official Buildbase Coventry Speedway Website Home Latest News Fixtures/Statistics Club Admission Riders Corporate Fans History Gallery STUDENT ADMISSION - UPDATE Friday April 08, 2016 AS announced in our previous statement, we have been working on a way forward to enable us to offer £5 admission to the genuine, bona fide student community. The sheer size of increase in student admissions over the opening meetings of the season was such that we had no option but to carry out a review. Our student offer was always designed to benefit those in full-time education, whether studying for A-Levels etc at school, or on a full-time University course. It was not intended for those doing part-time or evening classes in addition to drawing a full-time salary. We are now in a position to re-instate the £5 student admission rate for those in full-time education only, on production of the following information: a) Students still at school - a brief letter from school secretary/tutor on headed paper stating that the student is in full-time education. University students - NUS card plus brief letter from university academic/tutor on headed paper stating course details and that it is a full-time course. When these are produced at the turnstiles for the first time, names will be added to a list in order to speed entry on future occasions. We hope these measures enable those for whom the student admission offer is intended for to be able to benefit, and we thank those who have been in touch with constructive comments over the last week.

Wouldn't they just use guests if riders were missing?

Belle Vue V Leicester - OFF Due to this week's inclement weather plus tomorrow's inconsistent forecast. Re-staging to be confirmed.

Bridger was always going to be a rider who did well at Lakeside but crap away and this is whilst he is motivated.

Lakeside keeping it close so far. AJ sounds like he is flying 👍🏻

Completely agree 👍🏻 Some people are moaning saying they won't be going this season then, but they might not have a season to go to next year. I hope those same people don't moan about having no stadium or team to support if they aren't attending this year based on having to pay the same as the rest of us. I do think though that if we perform as badly at home as last time, any new fans that started watching over last 2 years when always winning, won't stick with it.

Looking at the line up of other PL teams, I think there are a few that look much stronger this year. I think without changes this side will struggle. I think if no injuries then Glasgow have to be one of the favourites this year. Strong throughout.

The weather forecast doesn't look good http://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/2645456/tomorrow

Was there a rearranged stock cars at King's Lynn today? Could that effect the track for tomorrow? The weather forecast doesn't look very good now either http://m.bbc.co.uk/weather/2645456/tomorrow

I watched the Liverpool match and recorded the pairs as wasn't over fussed about some of the line ups. I watched the first couple of heats & turned it off as found it boring. It was better when they rode as countries in the pairs.
