A silly request, as you probably already realise. Everyone knows that in speedway there are no facts as far as the ordinary fan is concerned, everything is covered in secrecy and dealt with " in house". We are reluctantly told what "we need to know" All we can go on is what we see with our own eyes and the bits and pieces gleaned from the various press comments . I think Mr Frost made a few strong comments about Horton after his last attempt at running Peterborough, and the cost to himself in rectifying that situation. Anyhow I find it interesting that you chose not to address any of the other comments in my last post, i can't for one second believe you accept my view. Of course if, as I suspect, you have some association with Mick Horton then that would explain so much.

I'm not trying to prevent anyone going to Leicester if that's what they enjoy, I'm just commenting on things as I see them. IMO Mick Horton is a blight on the history of the club, his time at Brandon was the worst few years I've experienced supporting the Bees. He exploited his fan base, and told us so many lies which was totally alien to the way the club had been run for so many years. ( you can no doubt see that for me it isn't just about putting 7 guys on track and expecting folk just to turn up, it's about how the club is run too.) I don't see that anything that happens at Leicester has any connection with the bees whatsoever, it's just a guy using the name in an attempt to create some credibility. Unfortunately most of that was lost between 2012 and 2016, hence the fact that I don't comment on the team. Horton has loads of "previous" when it comes to wrecking clubs and as far as I'm concerned anyone who trusts him is indeed a very brave person.

I think several are "being cared for" by his buddy.. Not heard what happened to the others.

I'm surprised that anyone expected anything different. The Coventry fans want nothing more to do with Horton ,that was made very clear at the beginning of the season. We can only hope this latest disappearance is a permanent one.

Tough times down in Dorset, even the locals are losing their sense of humour.

I've been present at a couple of talk - ins where Ole spoke of his move to Coventry. He never mentioned the fact that he actually signed for Hull, but perhaps he was just " dressing it up " a little for us.

Yes a huge transfer fee for a rider that never signed for them. Mind you when you consider the cost of air fares that Hull spent travelling around the world to try and secure O.O's signature the profit was probably a lot less .. Ole always said that he went to the Bees because he had a gentleman's agreement with the C O . I 'm certain that he never regretted his decision.

Given that the bees have a promoter who is considered by many many bees fans to have aided & abetted Brandon Estates in their attempts to gain planning permission for Brandon it's extremely unlikely that they will be handing over any of their " hard earned" to support the guy . IMO

https://twitter.com/NSSCspeedway?ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.savecoventryspeedway.com%2F Some comment from NSSC . Still no explanation for the late withdrawal from Buster.. The messages do seem to indicate the club felt very "let down" by his actions.

Hmmm, OK, if you say so.

I don't think i would describe it as an "iffy booking". NSSC had been promoting the evening for weeks, Buster would have known at the time he accepted that it was close to the Prague weekend and if he had doubts then it would have been simpler to decline his invitation. To leave it until hours before the club meeting was due to start, and, if I understand correctly use a third party to inform NSSC without any explanation is completely out of order. I understand also that he made himself unavailable to contact from anyone from Nuneaton who tried to speak to him . IMO that says more about Buster than any words could describe.

Haven't they already got a MFF in charge of that job ?

I must say that Deans comments surprised me. We have been crying out for a good quality stadium in the UK for years, now we have one which provides excellent entertainment and facilities for the paying public. I've been several times and would go regularly if it wasn't for a 160 mile round trip . It's a pleasure to attend a speedway meeting and feel that you are still in the 21st century. I usually buy my ticket in advance and everything always works out well. It's just a shame we're not likely to see anything else to match the National stadium anywhere else in this country.

Shows the credibility of the club. Not common in today's speedway unfortunately.

I think you will find that if a cricket game is called off without a ball being bowled then a full refund is given.. I can't think of any justifiable reason for keeping a supporters cash if the entertainment fails to go ahead.

More importantly , do you have a plan for reimbursing the guy who posted earlier, who stated he wouldn't be able to make any re-arranged meeting?

Desperation strikes, forums are for opinions if you hadn't noticed..

You are beginning to sound like someone who has an interest in the Bees /Leicester situation, something I suspected as soon as you started posting on here. Just to let you know you are wasting your time with me , your approach has been used many times over the years and "cuts no ice".

For such a new poster you certainly have an aggressive manner. Anyhow I think you've missed the point of my previous post . In case you're struggling with it take a look at the highlighted piece and have a think.

I don't know about positive ,but they have started the season in someone else's manor. For many that is a huge drawback.

Huge thanks to everyone at the group. That's a brilliant piece of work, and whatever the eventual outcome, the fans will appreciate you put up an excellent fight. Here's hoping for a positive outcome.

Fresh seaweed required I think.

None !! Nothing,!! Zero !! , Zilch!!.
