stevebrum Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Josh Bates misses a few meetings early season, not looked further ahead. Surely we could ride at Swindon and Kings Lynn when Sheffield dont have a home meeting. Josh rode 21 meetings so missed 7. 12 home, 9 away.

Anybody heard anything as to what Kacper's average will be? Edited January 26, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Jasper Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 There is nothing to tell, we will be fed a line, there will be an initial uproar when it comes to closing and then everything will drift away quietly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 What I don't understand is this Why the haste to shut down Brandon after this season when there is no planning application placed with rugby BC? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 To allow it to fall into a state of disrepair, much easier then to get planning permission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) read somewhere the greyhounds are now finished at Brandon , so looks like no backing from the greyhound folkThe greyhounds shut down regularly, they did this time last year too. We need some firm news from the owners. What I don't understand is this Why the haste to shut down Brandon after this season when there is no planning application placed with rugby BC? To be honest I wouldnt be surprised if we were at Brandon next season but as I said above we need some news asap. The only positive so far is that Rugby Council have confirmed talks have taken place for a new site.

naffer Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 To allow it to fall into a state of disrepair, much easier then to get planning permission. But that does not make much business sense from Sandhu if planning consent rumbles on for several years of potential lost rent. He strikes me as a guy who wants the stadium rent on Friday and money from the land sell off on the following Monday. Once outline planning is permitted there is plenty of time to evict motor sports for vacant posession. Still wait and see I suppose , positive news on a new site would be most welcome Up the bees.

mdmc82 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 BEES TO VISIT GLASGOW Sunday January 31, 2016 COVENTRY will head North on Easter Sunday after agreeing a Challenge fixture with Premier League title hopefuls Glasgow. The Buildbase Bees will visit the impressive Peugeot Ashfield Stadium on Sunday March 27 (3pm start) as the Tigers launch their new campaign against Elite League opposition. It will be the Bees first trip north of the border in six years, as they also visited Glasgow early in the 2010 season where a weakened team was on the receiving end of a surprise 45-48 defeat. Since then, the Tigers stadium has undergone a huge transformation with Gerry and Michael Facenna taking over the club last winter and overseeing a programme of wholesale improvements. Those improvements have extended to on-track business too, with Glasgow reaching the Premier League Grand Final last season and with a powerful top four for 2016 comprising Richard Lawson, Richie Worrall and former Bees duo Aaron Summers and Ben Barker, they will be hotly tipped for another successful campaign. Coventry will travel without Jason Garrity and Josh Bates, who have a League Cup commitment with Sheffield at Scunthorpe on that afternoon. Details of replacements will be announced in due course. And for James Sarjeant, it will be a rapid return to his Premier League club of last season, as he achieved a 5.00 average for the Tigers before making the switch to Ipswich for the coming campaign. The match completes a busy Easter schedule for the Bees, as they also face back-to-back Elite League encounters with local rivals Leicester, racing at Brandon on Good Friday, March 25, before the return at the Jordan Road Surfacing Stadium the following evening.
