Heaver is promoter but the stox contract is with Sandhu's company. Heaver basically works for Sandhu. Going by Bjerre and Kerr tweets the Coventry Stox statement seems incorrect when it says riders have been told the can look elsewhere. Yet anyway!

He could in the theory take over the lease if Horton doesn't really want to use it. That's if Sandhu really wants the sports to run.

It is weird and makes no sense.

Both certainly have acted like children. I just cannot believe Horton would go to all that trouble and not use the lease when he could've just walked away anyway after the original lease finished.

Why would Horto go to all that trouble to go to many meetings using many hours to get a lease then not use it. He could've just walked away after Sandhu's lease finished, it wouldve been far easier. Makes zero sense. There is only one action that's going to definitely stop both Speedway and Stox running next season and that's removing what's needed to run.

He didn't say he was. He says he's assessing the damage.

If they knew Horton wasn't going to use the lease why don't they negotiate a new lease with the stadium owners? No need to strip the stadium then is there! I dont see why both sports cant have a seperate lease. Jeez how all very childish

Yep thats correct but they should release a statement about the relationship with Sandhu and Co.

It could be but im doubtful. They made zero attempt to get a new lease. At the last Save Cov Speedway meeting they said they were happy to run stox at various different venues in 2017.

Only how I see it but it's probably Sandhu's way of getting the cheapest rental deal possible. Of course he could've actually tried to get the stadium lease himself in the first place instead of telling everyone no deal could be done with the new site owner.

Nope both leagues.

It's a slightly stronger PL. You really do have to get away from what the riders were at EL level.

I was winding up some people. Honestly before the AGM changes I thought we would see him here but that changed once we had the 50pt limit, average conversion and change of manager.

The structure is sound though so they will just shut it off to spectators if seats are not in place. We don't need seats to run that was my point, Wolves and Swindon manage it. I should add that it seems only a block or 2 of seats have been removed Thanks for that, much appreciated.

I don't care about the seats. I care about the stuff needed to run, seats doesn't really matter.

It's basically last year PL with a bit more quality, British speedway can't afford the top stars anymore. I have to say though riders do improve I remember the riders you named being reserves too at one point, riders all have to start somewhere.

Ive messaged local media but not had a reply but i understand it's will be out in the press Monday morning with a statement from Coventry Stox. Coventry Speedway have the intention to run there isn't much doubt about that.

I think we will run but I'm not entirely convinced.

How am I sugar coating it I said it's nothing special! I said it might look better or worse once other sides are named! SCB is more positive about this team than I am, I said I'd prefer to use the Kerr and Sarj points better with another heatleader he disagreed.

We will have Bates/Kerr/Sarj in reserve all season, there won't be a stronger reserve pairing in the league. If Bjerre shows the form that he has abroad then he can push King at number 1. The side is just OK nothing special. It might look a bit better (or worse I suppose) when the other sides announce their teams.

Trying to force Hortons hand probably. They have equipment that the stadium needs so they can now ask for whatever deal they want.

Jeremy Heaver has messaged someone saying they are doing all they can so stox stay at Brandon too. Excuse me but removing essential items and lack of negotiation with the new site owners to get a lease suggest otherwise! Sold it, failed to even try and get a lease now trying to play the 'victim'. I'm sure that £2.7million helps ease their conscious.

They've previously said they will rent at different venues. Stock Car fans that have messaged the save cov speedway twitter page call Coventry their Wembley. It's a big deal for them as much it is for us.

Sandhu company promotes the Stox at Coventry. Jeremy Heaver does the bulk of the work.

Floodlights taken off the stanchions and seats are being taken out. Sometimes I do think that to be honest. The constant we are running we are not running wears a little thin sometimes.
