Sorry to read of your problem. It happened to me back in the 1990's and I expect it was happening before that .As BWitcher says it's all down to the local scum . They probably see it as their Monday night bit of fun.

This is beginning to sound like a load of Hot Air to me,,

Not enough thrust under the wings?

If you were parked on the road by the East park , then I'm afraid you were a prime candidate. It has been going on for years. Had it happen to me too.

It's not sinking in is it ?

So even now your crusade for Horton continues. If I had been in his boots I would have been at the stadium at crack of dawn on Saturday asking questions. But no despite agreeing to meet at 4pm he didn't bother turning up . He knew the stadium people were concerned but no difference. Even then when he arrived on Sunday he failed to make the correct decision,So to finish off the day he decides to take a massive swipe at the owners , blaming them for everything when he was told on Saturday the track was not good enough.

Ah i see now , I just didn't think it was the the right moment to bring all that to the fore again

Which other part of the statement would you like me to comment on ?

But what we have been told is very clear, the stadium wanted it called off on Saturday but were in no position to do so. Horton couldn't be bothered till Sunday then couldn't make a decision, end result fiasco.

That's because he has had plenty of practise, yet doesn't seem to learn. The problems of last Friday seem to me to just be a repeat of difficulties experienced last year

Tell us the truth now You had inside info

Have the recent floods contaminated the water supply down in Dorset, I wonder ?

Best laugh in days, thanks very much.

I wouldn't imagine you & PQ7 would recognise a fact if it smacked you both in the face.

Try reading post 2054 , it more or less sums everything up.

Hardly bitching. I would describe it more like laying out the facts .

Fair enough, all I would say is don't let it grind you down. There is nothing that individuals like you & me can do to influence anything. I imagine the majority of bees fans knew this day would come sooner rather than later, and whilst it is very sad to read we just have to hope that a new stadium becomes a reality. In the meantime keep smiling. Edit The comment about "bricks being tainted" referred to a very underhanded situation that took place at Brandon in 2011. I expect many bees fans will remember. It was the day, that in my opinion we lost Sandhu as promoter of the bees and who knows possibly one of the reasons we are where we are today .

Did you not spot the big smiley? Perhaps your sense of humour has diminished whilst waiting for the new national stadium to appear.

I agree completely, there is so much history around the stadium which will just vanish with the demolition . However clubs have moved to new stadiums in other sports without difficulty, let's hope the bees can do the same. I have accepted the fact that brandon will go, and i have put my trust in Mr Sandhu .Here's hoping.

As someone who travels 35 miles each way for my speedway at Coventry I would be happy to see any stadium in the area, that allows the bees to continue. There is so much at stake here that I don't think we should be concerning ourselves with regard to location, survival is the keyword.

They might just have to when the" Piledriver" moves in.. As i have no doubt some "hard rock " will be encountered...

I'm sure that you are right, but in this case Rugby planners have always been very anti any development of that part of Brandon. No stadium improvements to speak of allowed, nothing happened with the garden centre across the road, no funeral parlour etc. They just appear to want to maintain the "status quo" of the area.

I would imagine that the development company who intend to buy Brandon will be well aware of the fight they will encounter to get planning on the land. Making any changes at the stadium has been extremely hard work for the owners for as long as I can remember ,due to the council stance. However we have seen similar situations in the past, and the developers always win in the end. I suppose that if the stadium keeps operating while the fight for planning goes ahead it will give the new owners some small return on their investment.

We wouldn't touch those, they are tainted with Frauds blood money,

A big thank you is required for the people at Buildbase. They must rank right up at the top when it comes to team sponsorship. John Clarke is " one good guy"
