SCB Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 When can expect a comment from the speedway promoter I wonder. Sometimes, some people say it best when they say nothing at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Sometimes, some people say it best when they say nothing at all! In my opinion he has a duty to make some sort of comment , if for no other reason than to show respect to the parties involved in the negotiations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 So have we got a lease for 3 years as the statements suggests or is it still one year plus 2 if conditions are met? I would guess at the later. Initially it was announced one year with an option, so I would think that still stands, unless MH (Coventry Speedway) decides not to take the option of further years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 After a couple of days facing the demise of speedway, with Coventry, BV & Leicester going down the pan & it coming home to Matt Ford that for all his skullduggery & asset pinching he'd have no one to race, we're back on! Brill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "fanning the flames". A comment from Horton is required, and should have been on the club website early today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Does seem strange that no statement from the club has been released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbee Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) except of course the small detail of who picked Mr horton to run the bees? why Mr sandhu!

proud panther Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Whilst delighted that Coventry appear to be coming to the tapes next season, this still doesn't make any sense to me. Sandhu is out of pocket, & Horton will still struggle to pay the alleged rent. Hope their isn't another twist in this unsavoury saga. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 It's not "fanning the flames". A comment from Horton is required, and should have been on the club website early today. There will no doubt be one but give him chance as he's probably getting over jet-lag at the moment. Do we really need one anyway? It's hard to believe what anyone says these days so it's pretty much a waste of time. Whilst delighted that Coventry appear to be coming to the tapes next season, this still doesn't make any sense to me. Sandhu is out of pocket, & Horton will still struggle to pay the alleged rent. Hope their isn't another twist in this unsavoury saga. That's what worries me too. I'll believe we're up and running when I'm watching the first race. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Well let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. If I trust anyone in this equation it's Michael Stokes. He has intervened (again) and has brokered a deal. He believes this is real and I believe him. For sure a lot has to happen before the tapes can rise on another season but let's take this at face value and get behind those that will bring us racing in 2017 (and hopefully beyond). This means setting aside your doubts and preconceptions. Put away your suspicions. We have a chance to see the Bees at Brandon for three years. We have a chance of a new stadium to see us for the future. Stop the backbiting. Mick Horton is not an option, he is the only game in town. Mr Sandhu may have his own agenda, so what? If he is part of Brandon Estates he would appear to have made an astute financial deal. Yes, there is our sporting legacy at stack here but get real. We're talking millions of pounds. This is not a game. So let's work to get speedway and (the even more profitable) stockcars on track in the short term and then work with anyone who will put up the money for a new stadium. To be honest, I believe I might just get 50 years of support for my beloved Bees in 2019. Beyond that looks less certain. But let's be half full people. Faith is a powerful tool. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhu is a multi millionaire but once he gets his profit from the Stox the cost of removing then putting back (or replacing) will be minimal especially for him. The only problem is both their egos getting in the way again. Edited December 1, 2016 by woz01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
