Well this could be interesting
A/ Will Nicholls be here?
B/ Will Kennett be sitting in his van, barred from the track?
If A, will the referree have the balls to tell Pratt that Nicholls can not ride if ratification from the BSPA has not been given?
If B, what will the referree do if Bob carries out his threat if he has not received his money by lunchtime Saturday?
No doubt, as it is Eastbourne, we will be in the dark stuff as Coventry seem to get away with bending the rules, judging by the "penalty" they were given, even though they left Nicholls in the team after being told he was ineligible.
As for the match, with all these other distractions, will there actually be one
My sister is getting married at 12.30 in Swindon on Saturday... but it's only a quiet family do.
But following our magnificent win at Poole.... and because of the various goings on surrounding the Coventry line-up and the Eddie Kennett transfer fee.... I'd love to be at Arlington on Saturday night.
Who thinks it would be acceptable for me to make my excuses and leave the proceedings in Swindon by about 4 o'clock?

It sounds as if Jordan Frampton has been droped from the Cov line up to fit Scott Nicholls in and I guess they have a couple more riders missing (Schlein for one) as they have been booking guests since yesterday Morning....
Bees :
1. Scott Nicholls or A.N. Other,
2. Rider Replacement for Filip Sitera,
3. Edward Kennett,
4. Adam Shields (Guest for Rory Schlein),
5. Chris Harris,
6. A.N. Other,
7. Josh Auty

Hi Mark
Just to make it more of a conumdrum ,I see Josh Auty withdraw from the Sheffield team last night after falling , so he might not be fit.
Coventry at it again, manipulating the team to suit them. See the Jon Cook is up in arms about what has been happening re Poole and Coventry. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
if lukas is fit he is due to ride in one of the world qual rounds over the weekend,think coventrys sitera is also riding in one of them,so dont know whats going to happen regarding riders.Denis gizajob also goes in the italian one,good luck to him
edit no rory either for coventry looks like they have booked adam shields!!!!
Lukas is due to ride on the Sunday in the Czech Republic.
Dunno if he can do Coventry and that meet ?.
Schlein is due to ride in Lonigo, Italy on Saturday.
I don't know about Sitera, as he isn't listed on either meeting - presumably he has replaced someone injured - Batchelor maybe ?who was listed to ride in Lonigo.
Wells is competing in the USA apparently - he might even win a race their. Shame I'd have liked him in their side !.
I guess we'll just have to wait for an announcement. It wouldn't break my heart if we had to have a guest as long as it's McGowan and not Lyons !.
reading the latest news on the front page,fair play to the management in also booking chris scram to come down just in case simon has any probs,good stuff well done.
Well if Nicholls rides, they have a formidable top 4 - but maybe not much else.
I prefer the solid 1-7 myself.
Weather looks a bit dodgy........
Isn't it marvellous how quickly the powers that be have agreed to Coventry's new team. Why does it take so long for them to agree to meet with other matters which are just as serious. It is about time that we had an independant council set up, and anything that is reported by a team or other matters should be dealt within a week.
As for Kennett unfortunately I doubt he will get much of a reception from the Eagles fans. There is going to be so much tension in this meeting, and the team management at Coventry are not going to be popular. They seem to think they can flout the law. As Shaleman said in the in the Sussex Express, Coventry have been docked Nicholls points, but that really has not hurt them. They should have been docked the three points they gained as winners. This is the only way that teams that flout the points average, i.e. as in football you are docked the points. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad
Once again I agree with Aussie2 regarding the losing of the three points since what has been done has not made any difference to Coventry whatsoever.
Whilst I agree with an independent body, I can't see this happening in the forseeable future as it would add to costs considerably in paying salaries or fees to the members of the tribunal/committee. _________________ click here for the latest front page news

Good to see youve noticed some of Footballs better practices, soon be a fan of the sport Aussie Do agree with your post, and why should Coventry and Kennett get a good reception _________________ A Founder Member of the Home Straight Lukas Dryml Appreciation Society!
I am sure the only reason Scotts points were removed from Coventrys score was because they knew it would make no diference whatsoever to the final outcome of the match. It was all just to show that they had done something however pointless it was.
Lets just hope our boys can show them they can win fairly and squarely without manipulating the rules. Good luck for tomorrow and lets hope for some good solid support for the team.
Parker, definitely not a fan of football, I dislike it. Never watch a match on tv. Too many overpaid primadonnas, who do not earn the money they are paid. _________________ Supporting the Eagles through the good times as well as the bad

At least its rules are implimented and enforced by an independant body not as speedway with every promoter looking to find loop holes in the rules to satisfy their own agenda making a mockery of what was once a great sport Hope we make our feelings known to Oakes and co. " Same old Bees always cheating"
