Woz01 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) No it will be BuildbaseWould be the best bet. Hopefully Horton and others who maybe involved would include the fans and save coventry speedway group.

Dave Jones Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Horton says lots of things which never normally materialise Yes , do you remember the house(s) he wanted to buy for the international stars he was going to get in.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_O Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 This week's Speedway Star should make for some interesting reading as it contains 'Mick Horton's ambitious plans to save Brandon Stadium as a speedway venue for Coventry Bees'!!! Its been many years since the Speedway Star had anything interesting to read. Hope they have pictures, as the intelligence of those who believe this BS will need them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 We won't sign a 9 pointer, which means a team of average riders such as DK Jk etc. As much as I don't like Hans we were stuffed as soon as he left. On the contrary I thought we were stuffed all season with him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Absolute hogwash if anyone wants to believe it. Horton wants Sandhu to sell to him at a price as is, and to forget about the valuation of the land with 250 houses on it. As if Sandhu is going to throw millions away!

naffer Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 The gist is that Mick has backers to stump up the £2million to purchase Brandon as a motor sports stadium. But obviously as housing land it's worth many times that and there is no way Sandhu would accept that price although if it gets turned down for housing there might be a slim chance ,but the developers will just keep trying until they get permission. It also mentions the mysterious new site for a stadium that may be revealed before Christmas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how confident he is/isnt on getting planning permission and whether he's under pressure to sell. Planning for anything round there is notoriously difficult as he well knows already.

mdmc82 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 He was asked the question before the AGM. He will sign especially as he has a testimonial at Brandon. Was asked yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 How on earth is he going to manage that?! Pigs might fly!!! About as much chance as his plan to build a new track and motor sports venue in Peterborough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 His response of "well that would mean Mick calling me but not as yet" was posted 3 days ago. Nothing he tweeted since then has nothing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therefused Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 And we were all mean't to believe Sandhu had a heart for speedway, yeah right, he only has a heart for his back pocket. I think he definitely used too. But another promotor saw him as a threat and now Sandhu couldnt care less. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he "only has a heart for his back pocket" he'd have flattened the stadium years ago. He certainly cared if you look at the pictures of our title win in 2010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 And we were all mean't to believe Sandhu had a heart for speedway, yeah right, he only has a heart for his back pocket. Sandhu has always been a money man. But there was a time he was happy to play speedway. Then he was fecked over because some people didn't like him and what he was achieving. Some of us said at the time that the 2010/11 rubbish was going to lead to the closure of Coventry. I hope those involved that winter are feeling proud of themselves now.

NeilWatson Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Don't think we can have more than 3 double uppers so if we sign Garrity, King wont be here next season. No more than TWO double-up riders in the 1-5 (corrected from 1-7) Edited November 5, 2015 by NeilWatson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 No more than TWO double-up riders in the 1-7 Wow ok. Most teams reserves will be the two d/u riders. Garrity going full time EL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
