Reliant Robin Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Surely that has to be a record in Speedway to have had the same sponsors for that long? Thank you and well done to Buildbase and the Coventry promotion for keeping their support for 11 years. It's good to see, that's for sure. Many sponsors obviously enjoy their association with the sport - think Pebley Beach have been on board at Swindon for 13 years now, Parrys at Wolves are very long term as well. Can only be a good thing, and shows reassurance to other potential sponsors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Some great news for the Bees after other 'announcements' this week. Really good to retain sponsors in this economic climate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Another post in admiration of Big John at Buildbase. Often seen at away meeting and social events, more than just a sponsor. One of the unsung good guys in our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Its a good sponsor to have when your looking to build a new stadium. It wouldnt seem right if we wasnt called the 'Buildbase Bees' would it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I thought Parry's had stopped sponsoring Wolverhampton as he had sold up? Or perhaps I'm wrong....as usual. You are wrong as usual. To be fair Gem it did look iffy 2 seasons ago but has decided to stay on as sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps I'm wrong....as usual. he did say eh was selling up so wouldnt be able to sponsor the club. But ha since changed his mind and carried on so can continue to sponsor the club.

But ha since changed his mind and carried on so can continue to sponsor the club. He's just made a major investment in his coach fleet so obviously things have changed.

B.V 72 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) There are plenty of bricks at Belle Vue if they need any. We wouldn't touch those, they are tainted with Frauds blood money, sarkey comments now but remember it has took 7 years to get to the stage where Belle vue are in their quest to build a new stadium and its still ongoing so if Coventry have the same problems with their local powers that be(and i hope they dont) i think we should keep the bricks because we will need them far sooner than Coventry do.

Did you not spot the big smiley? Perhaps your sense of humour has diminished whilst waiting for the new national stadium to appear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Not a dig at Coventry just not a time for funnies hence me saying i hope they dont.I was just stating what has happened at Belle vue and my sense of humor is fine thanks i am still watching speedway while i wait i honestly hope you can say the same we have already lost to many speedway stadiums best of luck.

Fair enough, all I would say is don't let it grind you down. There is nothing that individuals like you & me can do to influence anything. I imagine the majority of bees fans knew this day would come sooner rather than later, and whilst it is very sad to read we just have to hope that a new stadium becomes a reality. In the meantime keep smiling. Edit The comment about "bricks being tainted" referred to a very underhanded situation that took place at Brandon in 2011. I expect many bees fans will remember. It was the day, that in my opinion we lost Sandhu as promoter of the bees and who knows possibly one of the reasons we are where we are today .

SteveLyric2 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Nothing so far about Coventry's fixture change, hosting Poole on Monday the 14th April for the first Sky EL meeting!! Tsk tsk Bees fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Probably because it's not that interesting as the season hasn't even started yet and we've got other more important things to worry about. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me and very bad day in the sport, certainly the day I pretty much stopped attending and stuck to watching on tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but there's a seperate thread for that Gemini and you've still got 3 years to go yet!! Pirate's occupancy of Poole stadium will likely become an issue before that!!!!!!
