speedibee Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 The BSPA are not bullying anybody,they have set out the rules that are to be employed and you either accept them or leave the association,they decided to leave and now they are crawling back. well you know all the details of this agreement and presumably all the details of what caused the problem in the first place , because you know that they came come crawling back . so don't keep us in suspence any longer. lets hear all th gory details . come to think of it why did'nt you tell all weeks back would have saved hundresd of pages of debate , we could all have just taken everything you told us on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Oh reeeallly.... Coventry Bees Wiki! Since when was wikipedia full of fact? It wasn't that long ago Wikipedia was claiming that Kenny Carter was British Champion after he had died. Anyone can edit a wikipedia page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 You told me yesterday that the BSPA and the Cov promotion were meeting yesterday.....and you said something along the lines of do you think they are meeting to swap cake recipes. Be truthful now. Yes, but I made no mention of a press release. In fairness, I just read on here that they were having a meeting, so assume it had come from somewhere official but it seems that amy not be the case. There's been enough little bits of info and suggestions that there probably has been some sort of meeting. BBC local radio has just annouced on their 1.30 Sports news,that the Bees are BACK in the Elite league.Official confirmation expected within next 24 hours. Well given no `official` notice of the meeting (other than a newspaper comment) it remains to be seen if all of this is true. If the same source (the newspaper) knows all the answers its make both the BSPA and Coventry official sites farcial for not letting the SPEEDWAY world know first. All the talk seems to be coming from the Cov side, ill believe it when i see it tho. However, i hope to god it proves true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupus Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Lately we dropped the Gold a little bit , but we still have a trophy cabinet full of it , Gold looks cheap and tacky . wiki pages are written by just anybody. you could have written that for all i know So what you're actually saying is you USED to be gold and black but now you're not! I rest my case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 when all this started there were a couple of regular posters , who said coventry would be coming to the tapes in 2011 in the elite league , and that they would not get drawn into debate about it. does anyone remember who they were ?, because they should now step forward and take a bow .

It wasn't that long ago Wikipedia was claiming that Kenny Carter was British Champion after he had died. Anyone can edit a wikipedia page. Indeed, someone should update the Wolves page to state that they race in Orange and Black (which they clearly do!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedibee Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 So what you're actually saying is you USED to be gold and black but now you're not!

yahoho Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Its been obvious from the start that Cov will be elite for 2011 - it has been very fun to cause a stir though by making random comments Its Panthers that are my real concern.

Elephantman Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 and the Bspa are bullying sandhu into running with rules that he see as not fair to him. we don't live under a dictatorship in this country and he has every right to take whatever course of action he thinks to overturn any decisions he does not agree with as a member of that democratic association. This post nicely sums up the arrogant stance taken by some supporters. The BSPA are bullying nobody; if you don't like the decisions made by the majority apply the old accounts rule FIFO! You need to read up on what a democracy is. While it sounds like it will be good news if Coventry are back in the EL I do hope that the BSPA has/does not sell itself down the river to achieve a result.

lupus Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I knew the wiki page would get you going...hence the tongue smiley (as in tongue in cheek!)! With regards to the 'orange' - I think you'll find its called 'old gold' which is the colour the football team play in. Wolves speedway traditionally tend to go for the more metallic gold colour but either is acceptable - and both are GOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely orange, we should get a dulux colour chart anhd check Either way it would look better if it actually was gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 we don't live under a dictatorship in this country. No, we currently live under a coalition government formed by two parties who came together after an inconclusive election, traded horses and formed a government. As of yet, none of the other parties have engaged legal counsel to decry this undemocratic process in the way that Messrs Sandhu and Frost have regarding the BSPA. If the latest reports are true then I consider it a disgrace that Coventry are being allowed back into the EL and the only hope can be that it is as the result of a humiliating climb-down from Brandon. If the BSPA have buckled then that body is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
