  1. At least we now know Horton will be doing all he can to get Bees back at Brandon, he might be able to sell it then.
  2. Horton has said he's prepared to let someone else run the club if we get back to Brandon but the club isn't for sale.
  3. At the start of the season Wells original fixture would've been Edinburgh not Rye House. You cant have riders joining clubs part way through the season and all of a sudden that club have priority. As I said previously Danny King is a good example and I'm sure there have been plenty others
  4. Edinburgh will have priority. Once the season started the only fixtures Wells had was with Edinburgh, the Rye House ones wasn't originally in his schedule. Danny King is a good example, Ipswich have priority despite him being a Kings Lynn asset.
  5. The last quote in the article is interesting.
  6. I very much doubt Horton will ever be involved in a Coventry speedway team again. We need a fresh start.
  7. Wouldn't be surprised if Jacobs is named in a future Bees select line up.
  8. Because maybe they'd like Bees to survive like the rest of us. Not everything is done with an ulterior motive. @KeepBeesOnTrack has clarified that it has nothing to do with the previous promotion.
  9. Wrong guy. Sandhu sacked him and got a Polish taxi driver to do the track after he claimed he was the track guy at Bydgoszcz when in fact he was just a helper. They soon bought Terry back.
  10. Horton has nothing to do with this. www.savecoventryspeedway.com lists who is involved in this project including David Rowe, Jeff Davies and people at the NSSC.
  11. I'm hoping there can be meetings arranged when I'm not at work. The next 3 are when I'm either at work or have something else thats been planned long ago, so frustrating!
  12. I don't know what people are expecting, of course as the season goes on it will be more of a Coventry select side. The people involved made no secret of that. It's all about keeping the Bees race jacket going with riders who have mainly wore the Bees race jacket in the past. Up The Bees.
  13. Superb from the Wolves promotion. It's 50/50 whether I can make it but plenty of Bees fans will be travelling.
  14. Not doubt about it without the owners Wasps have they wouldn't exist now. Although it was a brave move they didn't really have a choice, it was either move or become extinct. The losses are not unexpected this early in the move and not helped due to improvements the the Ricoh, getting a temporary training base in Coventry and a few other things to do with the move. Revenues up 44% and revenues will continue to grow with the site being used more and more. Bspa have finally started doing something about marketing, they've a long way to go but at least they've finally started. They should ramp it up and work with BT Sport when there is finally some live action on tv.
  15. Coventry City average around 9,000 and It's between £18-£22 for adults. Some fans are boycotting home games though! Wasps marketing campaign was and continues to be excellent. Another crowd of over 20,000 will be at the Ricoh Sunday. To add to that Wasps have also started up a Netball team which attracts 2,000 per match in the exhibition hall, they've promoted that well on social media. Rumours of a Super League side too! Wasps are helped by having an exhibition hall which they use on match days to create a fans zone. Things for kids to do, live music and food and drink pre match adds to the match day experience. West Midlands didn't have a Premiership union side. Wasps don't attract just from Coventry, plenty from the Birmingham area.
  16. The rule was in last year in the UK and he rode over here last year. He should know the rule.
  17. King and Bates have confirmed they will ride for the Bees in the challenge matches unless there is a clash.
  18. Lewis Kerr would be Pooles best bet I think.
  19. Sounds to me like they are investigating more than who owns the fixture and fittings.
  20. I hope so but it doesn't seem to be a simple investigation. You'd think if they was Sandhus to take then it would quickly be resolved.
