And that one's coming along nicely too, isn't it? Check the other thread for the dismay at the lack of progress there.

But of course theyve moved stadiums. I'd hope if Brandon had a similar project the stadium would stay where it is!

These photos smack of propaganda to me - only showing "the good bits"

I admire Jeff's speedway photos but there's something not right here

Show us the track, fencing, shale, floodlights, circuit wall, main stand viewing areas . . .

Pointless photos they only show the bits we can do without. We need a track, fencing, and preferably some seats but if it comes to it we can do without them !

Just got back. From Brandon.

 

I had some business today in Grantham and came back via Leicester, Coventry, M40, A34, and found myself at the tgi Friday roundabout at the bottom of Binley Woods. So I turned right and went a mile up the road to have a look for myself.

 

The place is completely closed up. No one home. Barriers to car park locked up so couldn't see anything.

 

Thought I would pass on this completely useless piece of information.

If you turned right at TGIs coming back from Grantham, you will have been heading into Coventry, so it can't have been Coventry Stadium you saw - perhaps it was Copsewood Sports Ground

 

Just proves that one can't believe a word you write!

 

Shove off!

Fair play to you

Ok I turned left to the stadium. Dear oh dear knitpicking. There was a white van parked in the stadium and wooden giraffes at the country store/garden centre at the roundabout opposite tgi Fridays . The underpass is now open at the pain in the butt roundabout when heading towards Warwick.

 

Proof enough? Lol!

Coventry Motor Speedway actually. Although that name never really took off, did it?

But that's just knitpicnicking eh?

It was pretty much like that when I stopped by and parked in Speedway Lane recently. The guard dog didn't seem too keen on me peeping through various gaps in the fencing though!

Thanks for the useless piece of information. :t:

Once again Mr Shoveller has come onto the Coventry thread, and failed to add anything useful to the discussions, even giving factually incorrect information

 

Well there might have been gypsies in the car park or bulldozers so better to report nothing going on than something more sinister.

What?

What?

 

And once again because it's Steve Shovlar people go mad.

He's done something honest in not knowing his left from right and actually went out of his way to check out the stadium for himself.

All he'd done is said what he'd seen.

The only people not adding to the thread are the posters reacting wrongly (yet again) to Shovlar's visual update.

I think Steve knows where Brandon stadium is!!

I think Steve also knows where TGI Friday's is as he has been there many times before Coventry v Poole meetings.

 

 

 

......WembleyLion......The guard dog didn't seem too keen on me peeping through various gaps in the fencing though!

 

Ah..... that would be Hank who could kill with one bite. :lol:

 

 

 

......Stevebrum......Thanks for the useless piece of information.

 

It's not really useless though is it? There could have been lorries in the car park with new floodlights, poles, fencing and 100 men working inside the stadium making sure everything will be okay when the Speedway season starts. As it happens there is zilch going on but at least we know now because we get told bugger all by anyone else.
