Rye House V Coventry Bees Sunday 25th June 2017
Woz01 replied to mdmc82's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
To be honest it's poor from Rye House, they've known this for a few weeks. It would've probably been at least a couple of hundred Bees fans to be honest. -
Rye House V Coventry Bees Sunday 25th June 2017

They've had plenty of time to get riders to fill the ones that now signed for Leicester but it is a difficult job with rider availability etc. It seems Bees had a 1-7 ready to race, a coach was organised to head down there too. They might have under estimated how many Bees fans would've travelled. Rory Schlein and Ben Barker were confirmed to 'guest' for Bees and Roynon was to be asked to ride for Sarj. -

Very disappointing for us Bees fans. -
Well it is keeping the Bees name alive (for now). It was obvious that riders would sign elsewhere and we would have riders riding that didn't originally sign at the start of the season. It was stated very early on that we will try to use riders who have a history with the Bees. I agree. If Brandon Estates are keen to get building done quickly then providing a new stadium will no doubt help the process, the council might even insist on it. The Save Cov Speedway group have already said they would support the application if it includes a new stadium. Unfortunately Brandon seems to be finished unless something miraculous happens.

The travellers have left the site.

To be honest I put Richie in because of his experience at KL but I see his brother scored 10 from 4 for BV earlier in the season. -

As the reserve rule has changed it would be crazy not to have Lambert as reserve. For Kings Lynn I'd go for Cook Harris King R. Worrall Lambert -
The has been a lot of news reports of travellers in the Coventry area recently I expect it to be the same ones. Police are on site so we shouldn't see any damage or things taken. We had travellers on site at the start of last season too.
-
What makes you say that?
-
Exactly this. For one it wasn't called Coventry Bees, we have missed a whole season of Speedway and it's only one team. I only attended a couple of Storm meetings a year but will attend far more often. Some major hurdles to be crossed before it's even a viable option.
-
The thing is if we do ever get a green light on a new stadium or a long-ish lease at Brandon then that would become more valuable than it is now. Mick has nothing to lose really as it cant be worth much at the minute.
-
It would certainly get more backing if someone else suggested the idea. If we are to run then I don't see why Save Cov Speedway can't run the club. Horton has said before he willing to be in the background and let someone else do it.
-
Think it's vitally important we run next season whatever the division. I believe enough fans would support it as we are bloody missing it this season. If we can run it puts pressure on the council to put in place a replacement site in any planning acceptance. We don't run then it's closer to the end. The Save Cov Speedway group suggested Brandon Estates will soon put in a planning application.
-
Garrity is a lot smoother than he used to be but he still has his moments.
-
Seats are the least of our worries and anyway who is going to pay for it?
-
They certainly don't want Sandhu involved at all. They seem more than happy to let Horton and Bees run but the issue of fixing the track stops that unless money can be raised. You then have to think of the cost of running the stadium. Interesting that Brandon Estates have given Horton solicitor some of the sponsorship money promised and that they would sponsor Bees should they move back. Maybe a PR stunt coming to help any application? Wishful thinking probably.

Tai is British so let's stop that ridiculous accusation. I'm delighted when he wins GPs and World titles but just because he has done that doesn't mean I will agree regarding riding for GB and British final. He asked things to change they have been changed but he still didnt like it. It just seems he wants it all his way, team sport does not and should not work like that.
-
They have implement pretty much what Tai asked for only problem is Tai wanted it done a different way with different people. Also Tai was asked if he was available, why is he asking for an input in team mate when his selection isn't guaranteed?
-
And the assumption he was picked to even ask that.
-
Good move from Leicester, they are hugely benefiting from Coventry not running.
-
Brandon Estates didn't want Sandhu at Brandon that much is clear. This is why we are where we are. A fued between the two parties have put us in this position, their stance on each other needs to change. You just hope Brandon Estates see some sense and realise the sports running at Brandon will be beneficial for all. The police investigation has ended? To be honest though Brandon Estates didn't want Sandhu at Brandon for whatever reason. Something needs to change.
-
Will Brandon Estates negotiate with Sandhu now, I hope so.
-
Nice of Sandhu coming out and confirming that he still has intentions of getting both sport back in Coventry. What we need as fans is the truth as to why we find ourselves in this position. So many rumours and claims around it's difficult for fans to believe any of it. Get around the table sort your differences and lets get back racing in 2018 with a vision for the future whether that future be at Brandon or elsewhere.
-
They've implemented pretty much everything Tai asked for a couple of years back. Tai got the hump because it wasn't done how he wanted it to be done ie the training camp, Poultec training youngesters and choice of personal trainer.
