Don't get holding your breath on those three questions.

It's very interesting that the guy who is fronting up the Save Coventry Group, who has probably put in hundreds & hundreds of hours of time and effort into trying to save the stadium for future use stated quite clearly on radio last night that he wouldn't be attending Leicester because he didn't believe that a team racing there & competing at the lowest level represented the Coventry Bees. i wonder if all the posters on this topic who keep telling those of us who have expressed the same opinions, that we are trying to " kill the club" would accuse Jeff of being of the same mind?

Whenever i read this sort of stuff, it just confirms to me that a nerve has been touched somewhere, and it's usually from some speedway insider that can't cope Why don't you come clean and let us know who you really are, don't be shy there are others on here doing the same type of thing so you wouldn't be alone.

I think the majority understand that , whatever the outcome it has been a massive effort by all concerned to get so much support for retaining the stadium.

Just ordered a copy.

Because some Knucklehead decided to start another..

Then of course it could be said that KK often "went missing " at meetings, something Bomber can't be accused of.

http://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/news.php?extend.128.1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Question answered. The main issue here is that whilst BE have been messing about with this, more stadium damage has occurred , but I suppose it suits their "master plan"

Isn't it around now that BE & the council go to court to resolve the dispute over the security of the stadium. ? Or the lack of it!!!

You are much too sensitive for this forum. Thanks for the sending in your objection all the same.

Don't bother then, there are plenty of others that will. You won't be missed. This is nothing to do with Mick Horton he's just" an aside", it's a fight to save the Stadium.

Ha Ha . I don't think you need anything explaining, you are more than capable of working things out yourself. There are many contradictions and bits of recycled news in there, and don't forget it's all coming from a guy who after five or so years at Brandon, we've learnt tells loads of lies and cannot not to be trusted Anyhow it looks as if the Observer report has been pulled now , I've no idea of the reason, but perhaps it's better left there as it could get nasty.

I'm obviously wrong There is at least one person that will be taken in .

The latest attempt to persuade bees fans to support him. So many holes in that statement I can't believe anyone would be taken in by it... EFFORTS to bring the world-famous Coventry Bees back to the city are ongoing, according to the club’s owner Mick Horton. Fans of the Bees have been starved of speedway racing in Coventry for 15 months after a multi-party dispute involving Coventry Stadium owners Brandon Estates, CoventryStox, and Mr Horton resulted in the closure of the venue for 2017. Supporters were dealt another blow when the British Speedway Promoters Association (BSPA) axed Bees from the Premiership after it had been agreed the club would race at Leicester to keep the name alive. The decision by the BSPA meant, for the first time since 1947, there was no top flight speedway racing in Coventry. Since then, Bees have been accepted into the National League – the third and lowest tier of British Speedway – and will this year race their home meetings at Leicester’s Beaumont Park. But a long-term stay at Leicester isn’t part of Mr Horton’s plans, he says. He told the Observer that he wants the club to source a new home in the Coventry or Rugby area, and revealed he’s in ongoing talks to make this possible. “I want us to have a new home in the Coventry area,” said Mr Horton. “It’s easy to point fingers, but I can’t keep doing that. I must focus on going forward and to keep the Bees racing. “There are all sorts of permutations – a new stadium could take years, it’s subject to land availability, what support we get from both Coventry and Rugby councils. “I am working with both councils regarding a piece of land, it’s ongoing. “But I have no idea what’s going on with Brandon Estates’ planning application, my focus is on our racing in the National League. “Yes we’d love to go back to Brandon, for me we need to be racing in the Coventry or Rugby area.” Bees owner Mick Horton. Despite having ambitious plans to return the club to the city, Mr Horton admitted he has ‘no idea’ how long Bees will be racing at Leicester. When quizzed about the financial challenges the club will face moving forward, the Bees owner said: “I’ve got my own money in it and we’ll have money from rider assets too. “Because we haven’t got a home I can only afford to run in the National League. I’m hopeful and confident die hard Bees supporters will want to come and support the team. “I have budgeted to subsidise this season. When we raced in the National League at Brandon we had two teams, and understandably people wanted to watch the first team. “But now we’ve got one team – and I do believe fans will come along to see what it’s all about. “This season will be a challenging one. We’re in the dark and I don’t know what to expect.” The Save Coventry Speedway campaign group raised Bees’ fall in Parliament in November. He also said he’s had no correspondence with Brandon Estates. But he did say he’s in regular contact with Coun Michael Stokes, leader of Rugby Borough Council. Mr Horton said: “Coun Stokes has been very supportive and the advice he’s passed on has been so valuable. “He would love to see us back at Brandon or at a new venue, that’s our long term aim.” Our campaign call outside Coventry Stadium in March attracted a huge gathering of supporters. And when asked to provide a message to Coventry fans ahead of the new National League season, Horton said he and the club must take things one step at a time. He added: “I can’t change what’s going on at Brandon. I have no influence. “All I can do is work with both councils. “It’s so hard. I can’t sit on the fence and hope something will happen for us. And we can’t still be at Leicester in five years. “We have to have a new home. I share the fans’ frustrations. “All I can influence is what happens on the track. For those riders putting the jacket on, they need your support. “It’s going to be difficult for us, but we’ve got to take one step at a time.” The glory days: Former boss Alun Rossiter celebrates with fans after winning the Elite League playoff championship in 2010 at Poole.

I forgot to add the "Permanent Pothole Shale" was being used also.

Yes , i understand it's some of the latest 21st century stuff with a permanent blue line added .

I don't get the magazine so I've not seen the article, but I remember Jim " the trapper", and his pal Gordon Guasco from the days when they were riding in the UK. My overriding memory of Jim was the night he "slid off" on the first turn at monmore green, got up and recovered for a third place in a match between Wolves & Newport. It was the only race that didn't finish 5-1 to the home team, and I think the 64-14 scoreline is still some sort of a record.
