T.N.T. Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 May affect a few team line-ups as I think a lot of the riders had found themselves new teams precautionally. The good news is, hopefully everyone who wants a team place over here, will get one even if its their 2nd (or 3rd) choice. Not really as it looked certain that Ben Barker was going to be left out any way o he can carry on with his Plymouth / Belle Vue jobs while Bomber, Kennett, Larsen and Pawlicki join the Bees. Well lets hope so and also hope that no rules were changed to accommodate them or we will just this charade every year when a club doesn't like one fo the democratically voted rules Only way they could enter in my opinion as everyone else has set their teams up in line with the rules laid out at the AGM and so should Coventry.

Sandie Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Perhaps this is why every other fan despises Coventry. Their fans are just like their owners. How pitiful. So pleased you told me this - I thought a few people out their actually liked Coventry. But you know best - thanks for telling me. And personally I'm nothing like our owner (No 's' on the end there - Mr Sandhu is the only owner!) - He's male, slightly taller than me and unless Im very much mistaken of a completely different ethnic background to me And my uptake on the possible return - The BSPA and Coventry will both put out a press statement which favours themselves. Those who have been blaming Coventry will continue to do so and pick parts from the BSPA press release to support it and those supporting Coventry will continue to do so and pick things out from the Cov press release to support it also. No one will have their view swayed and we will have another 5 threads each with a different angle and view point!! Roll on March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) .....alan_boon...... For me, the absence of Steve Shovlar from the forum today is evidence something is afoot.... Make the most of it. Hasn't he headed off to the Bahamas or somewhere? If I stick a few people on ignore as well it will be peace, perfect peace for a couple of weeks. Happy Christmas.

abbo Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 What are you on..........!!! If Coventry run it will be because they have accepted the new rules for 2011. Maybe the compromise (face saver for Sandhu) will be that the process of agreeing the rules in future will be reviewed. Coventry's "legal" action didn't have a hope in hell's chance os succeeding and Sandhu knew from his first meeting with his legal team (??), otherwise a law suit would have been issued against the BSPA long before now. Sandhu accepted the BSPA rules when he bought Coventry and he must know by now that throwing the rattle out of the pram and threatening legal action does not work. He's tried it before and it didn't work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbo Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 What rubbish the meeting of BSPA two weeks ago didnt result in any sort of annoucement to the press and public.Ony thing was that there an embargo on the Coventry riders.Why was there no statement, suggest it MIGHT be that Sandhu had started the legal action against the BSPA, hence no statement.I am fingers crossed that commonsense prevails.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 He is not happy with the signing of Gafurov and the rest of the Poole team... Apparently he has gone to Gatwick in the hope of a flight to Rome (once the airport opens).. So hopefully things will be quiet from deepest darkest Dorset for a while....(unlikely though) Sorry to disappoint but have been filming for the last 48 hours. Just got home.

Pollyanna Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 There will only be one team and one set of supporters who will not like Coventry to be allowed into the elite league next year. Which team and set of supporters are those? I can't see why anybody wouldn't be glad to have this saga sorted out and to see Coventry in their rightful place in 2011 !

stevebrum Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln God help 90% of forum users then Never mind all the Coventry haters, speedway without the 'Bees' would be a joke and everyone knows it, that's why they'll back down! *CHAMPIONS* Own stadium, own riders, best fans ur jealous! Im sure people said that when the likes of Bradford, Wembley et al didnt race again. SPEEDWAY is always the winner - not one team. Good grief!! That sounds like a factual statement from someone who doesn't do that sort of thing on here. Its specualtive, as id imagine someone with your experience and usual sensible postings would recognise. Guess your becoming a `typical` Bees poster. Unless of course they couldn't defend them in court? Thats assuming they had a court case! Maybe you should have followed this advice then Im glad someone else pointed that out Really? I take back what I said the other day you are now as equally annoying with your 'facts' as Stevebrum. Oh dear, i thought you had got over stalking my posts - which is equally as annoying. But if KL and Brum hadn't of moved up they would have needed both the Bees and the Panthers Thats assuming they werent waiting to move up before that!

Halifaxtiger Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Sorry to disappoint but have been filming for the last 48 hours. Just got home. Bluntly, it has often been the case that I have found your posts to be arrogant, biased and EL snobbish. On this occasion, though, I'd say that your viewpoint - that Coventry should be in the EL, that they should accept rules decided by the will of the majority, that their court action is merely holding the sport to ransom and that the BSPA - for all their faults - are in the right - is accepted by at the very least a substantial minority of British Speedway supporters. I suspect that a lot of the derogatory and abusive comments made about you on here are just people taking any excuse to have a pot shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
