Chill Lisa. That made me laugh Kev. Another one who should take a chill pill. Steve is an expert at winding people up on here so I don't think he'll be too bothered about a few retaliations. Happy New Year everyone, including the Poole fans.

In that case may I put forward the name of Mick Horton ~ one of the finest.

That wasn't a reply about general internet/social media presence. It was a party political broadcast on behalf of Matt Ford.

Amazing. Mind you the topic title doesn't really hold much interest to a Coventry fan like me because I don't even know if we will have a track never mind what the admission price will be. I was going to get a season ticket for next season too so it would be easier to get in with a dog, bag, chair and probably crutches too the way I'm going.

Let us know when he's got a main sponsor then. Anyway most of us don't like Matt Ford or Poole on here so shove off.

Are you James Sarjeant? If that criteria was brought in ~ and I agree with your post ~ then James would be getting a few maximums instead of being called back every time he makes a good start.

Friday's and the Coventry team? Okay....I'm being pessimistic again but I really can't see Brandon being used again. Hope I'm wrong.

Well, it was going okay until all the lights went out. The only other thing I can remember about the match is it was one of the best of the season and my two friends from Kings Lynn who I was standing with enjoyed it very much.

I think it was 1982 as I've got the video somewhere. 'And cheekily splashing him into the bargain' (or something like that.) Was really funny anyway.

There may be plans to introduce Stock Car Racing so don't raise your hopes up of no spanners yet. That sport used to be held regularly at Blackbird Road as you know but I'm not sure if it would be allowed at Beaumont Park. It's one way to increase use of the stadium though being as nothing else seems to be happening.

If that's the case why have fans been complaining about the Kings Lynn track which seems to be full of stones.....and the odd spanner.....and saying it's not as good as it used to be?

I think Leicester had the most children attending matches than I've seen anywhere else so Saturday's must be a good night for parents to take them, but I'm prepared to be bombarded with statistics from other members whose team races midweek. I know some parents would consider their children staying up late with school the next day but I'd say there are a lot more who wouldn't when you also take into account how long some matches drag on. Not only that but 235 spaces in the car park usually means parking near the shopping centre so half a mile walk back there, plus the journey home means a very late night. (Okay I might be exaggerating that it's half a mile but it feels like it to me.)

Probably one of the very few correct decisions he made as Friday/Saturday/Sunday are the best days to run Speedway meetings. I think they are hanging on to see what happens at Coventry and will then pick Friday as the race night, along with a few of the riders as well. I just hope we are put out of our misery soon and all this indecision about Brandon doesn't drag on for a few more months.

Going off topic but I was wondering who this 'Jack Keen' is who has never made a contribution but usually likes the posts Gustix makes?

SCB is never wrong.

Means nothing really. Coventry have named their 7 riders for 2017 but it still doesn't 100% guarantee they'll be at the tapes on the Brandon track in March.

Me neither as I don't like individual meetings, although I did go to the Chris Harris one as he had ridden for Coventry for so long so deserved a good crowd for his testimonial.

Even though it's breaking forum rules? You surprise me you naughty person. Please do not post in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS; this is the Internet version of shouting, and is irritating to many posters.

Steve don't worry about the points just sit back and enjoy his brilliant style of riding as it is a joy to behold. He was my favourite rider to watch when he rode for the young Coventry side so I envy you being able to see him every week.

Why is it a 'band of idiots'? You said you don't come on here to be popular and he replied that 'it's working'. Have you got no sense of humour at all? Actually don't bother answering because I already know.

I'm sure it would especially if the stadium is no longer suitable to stage motor speedway but is more or less already derelict. I think Sandhu knows exactly what he's doing and is in some way involved with Brandon Estates. I just wish I could be as optimistic as some on here but sadly I'm not.

Was that to do with the relative who owed thousands of pounds in tax or something? Sandhu had always said he owned all the stadium but that was yet another lie as this relative 'allegedly' owned half of it and the money was needed to pay back what he owed otherwise he'd end up in prison.

That's what I was thinking too. Hopefully once Christmas and the New Year is out of the way we can all be put out of our misery so we don't have to endure more months of uncertainty. It just doesn't make sense to have stripped the stadium and done a lot of damage doing it only to say it will all be put back again. Yeah right.

Using that logic the Leicester track should have been brilliant from the first meeting. I wonder what went wrong.

Yes, I feel sorry for the Coventry riders as all this doubt about 2017 affects them even more than the fans. Let's hope something is sorted out in January so we know one way or the other and we don't have to wait until the March health and safety inspection.........if it ever gets that far.
