  1. It's on sky, the track will be a joke... it's a tradition we like to keep up at Coventry
  2. It's dangerous, always has been, always will be. This doesn't however mean that everything that can be done for safety shouldn't be done. Perhaps the biggest innovation in the last 15 years has been the air fence... yet this still lifts when a rider hits it today the same as it did on day one and nothing has ever been done about this fundamental design flaw. Also these air bags need to be installed down the straights, all it needs is for a solid membrane (a thin solid plastic barrier) to be placed between the bags and the riders so as not to "suck them in", this way they could still bounce against the fence and the airbags still absorb the impact. I can't believe the finest minds in the sport have let either go unfixed
  3. NO! I won't have that... we do know that the 50/50 hasn't been claimed
  4. I don't agree with a lot of the stick you come in for here on this forum... but come on, what facts? BEES v SWINDON, PREVIEW Friday August 21, 2015 ... Full team news to follow on Friday.
  5. Because it was wazzing it down all afternoon and this is not the first time it's happened on a Wednesday
  6. Typical BV any supporters attracted by Monday's match lost on the very next match
  7. Do we know who the ref was? He had a shocker... a bit like the announcer
  8. it's off innit, according to Bomber on twitter
  9. Actually I thought it was quite healthy considering the weather and it was a nothing match with made up teams... just think what it could be if it was run properly
  10. So that's what the interval is for... I'm glad at least your dog enjoys it So... I'm walking up the hill in the rain approaching the stadium and I can already hear the announcer banging on about the bloody interval, there's a 15 minute delay to let the rain clear, fair enough. Quite a long delay after heat 9 for Leicester to blade all the dirt off the track, that didn't really need it as it had been alright up until that point, I wonder if the fact that they were 8 points down at the time had anything to do with it... then a bloody interval as well after heat 11. All the shale dumped on the outside of the track seemed to cause 2 accidents involving Hall and Lawson, how the ref allowed it is beyond me?!? The ref didn't have a great night at all getting the exclusion wrong in Heat 12, there was also another incident that the ref missed, I can't remember the heat number (6?) when the rider in red definitely left the track after an unsatisfactory start yet wasn't excluded... At least there wasn't a sun delay
  11. blah blah blah blah... perhaps Norrie was expecting to see the teams as they were declared on the website?
  12. My point exactly! As a floating fan if I was going by the website, I wouldn't be going tonight... but I've had to put on my Sherlock Holmes deer stalker and get my Mystic Meg crystal ball out to find out who's actually riding ... and they wonder why they can't get a crowd!
  13. Taken from their website Teams Leicester: 1. Jason Doyle, 2. Thomas Jorgensen, 3. Grzegorz Walasek, 4. Szymon Wozniak, 5. Piotr Swiderski, 6. James Sarjeant and 7. Dan Greenwood Lakeside: 1. Hans Andersen, 2. Mikkel Bech, 3. Edward Kennett, 4. Richard Lawson, 5. Rider Replacement for Kim Nilsson, 6. Richard Hall and 7. Adam Ellis Who do you believe?
  14. What surprised me was that 3 riders weren't excluded from heat 13 for leaving the track after an unsatisfactory start, the ref called them back immediately and put the 2 mins on and only Nicholls stayed out on the track. It would have been farcical but rules is rules
  15. Don't think cov will choose Lynn, Bees record ain't exactly brilliant round saddlebag road
  16. Doesn't seem to be the case at Cardiff though, the crowd mix always seems a lot younger there to me, I wonder where they're all coming from
