Can't believe people are knocking this offer. I'm a big critic when it comes to the promotion and management, but hats off to them for this

Monday 9th May. Coventry at Home to Wolverhampton Leicester at home to Poole Both 7:30 starts

Precisely why they needn't have made such statements on Monday. They went from clarifying Student Policy to withdrawing it, within hours They had time to come up with a new policy and still communicate that clearly

People aren't going to care about sponsors paying the bills when deciding how to spend their expendable income. If they can get better value by attending another sport they will. The issue is with the valid student ID. Most places accept NUS cards. IF the management is not happy to accept this, then they should've had a clear policy at the start of the season, declaring what they will accept, rather than just havign a strop and taking their ball home with them

Removing the student offer is ridiculous. I'm not a student, have no NUS and pay full price when i go, but in Coventry alone you have Coventry City, Wasps, Coventry Rugby Club and Coventry Blaze, all of which embrace students and accept NUS cards as proof for their discount. If people "abuse" it at the speedway, they will do the same at those other clubs. The management clearly have a strict idea of who they consider to be entitled to a discount, and it seems they are stuck in an archaic world where only youngsters can be students. This will just lead to more and more people walking away from Brandon, meaning bigger losses for the club... leading to the inevitable closure after this season

Can't see anything but a Wolves win. Harris and KK will put up a good fight, but can't see much from the rest

They've still both outscored Garrity in 2 of the 3 meetings we've ridden against EL teams this season. In the other one Bates scored as many from 1 less ride whist Sarjeant scored 1 less, again from 1 less ride. If this continues he'll be bottom of our averages

Enjoyable meeting, but it was painfully obvious that only KK, Harris and Bates are in their correct roles in the team. King should never have been signed as a heatleader (especially a doubling up one), Garrity shouldve been convinced to ride 4 meetings at reserve, and Sarjeant isnt a tier 1 draft rider. Woryna looked ok, and if the team around him was as strong as it could potentially have been, then he would've been a decent addition.

It's stupid. If it was because Garrity didnt want to take the EDR pay rate, set up a "sponsorship deal" to makeup the shortfall.

Ridiculous amount of rain recently up here. Cancelling practice is a good move, as it wouldve probably done more harm than good

Doesn't sound positive to me to be honest. Sounds like a load of pie in the sky, and the "local need" bit seems like this is where the plan will come falling down. Hope I'm proven wrong... I was about the BV stadium, so fingers crossed lightning will strike twice

Great to see Garritty back. The management have taken a lot of stick over the rumours he was going elsewhere, so it's only right they get a similar amount of praise now he's back

Hows the weather looking? Is it worth a mad dash home from London for my first meeting at Brandon in a long time?

The final part of the bees statement weakens their case in my eyes. It makes it look like its all about the result rather than the conditions. Poor show

Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting last night, but can't help think that the Bees threw the points away. Poor performances from Robson, JK and Harris, and then the reserves threw points away in 12 and 14. I thought the Garrity decision was probably the right one, but was shocked that the ref made the decision without looking at all the available angles, especially when the second one strengthened his opinion. As for Batchelor, how unfortunate was he that his "food poisoning" seemed to hit him hard just as he was being passed by someone?

£20 Buczkowski More £10 Pedersen less

Weather and being up against an England Football game doesn't bode well for a big crowd sadly

£120 Kasprzak more

NO NO NO NO NO NO LEAVE THE WORLD CUP AS IT IS! It's easily the best event of the year, provides big crowds, and top top racing. To change it would be madness
