Coventry Bees take on Poole tonight in the first leg of the Elite League Grand Final goes at Brandon (7.30pm)
Coventry manager Gary Havelock said to the Bees website: “I’m happy to have the first leg at home, and as a strategy I think it’s definitely the way to go.
“Poole beat us at Coventry last time but the track turned out quite slick that time, whereas in most meetings lately we’ve had a decent dirt-line around the outside which is what the majority of our riders like – although with all this weather around, we’ll have to wait and see how things are.
“Ben says he’s fit and desperate to ride, and one thing we know we’ll get from him is 100 per cent commitment, he wants to win badly and so do all the boys.”
Admission prices: Adults £20, OAP/Concessions £15, Under-16s £5, Under-11s Free. Coventry season tickets valid. Programme £3.
The second leg is on Monday night.
