Coventry 2017


Recommended Posts

With ten weeks roughly til the start of the season and no one seeming to be in the seat to get things put right at Brandon or pay for it to be upto standard by then, surely the best and possibly the only option would be to ride at Beaumont Park, Leicester either as the sole team or alongside the Leicester Lions.

 

Years ago Cradley Heath had to move for one season to Stoke under different circumstances. This was a much longer journey than Coventry to Leicester but it did give them another twelve months of life. Surely moving to Leicester is the only option available at the moment so if this is the only or most viable option then announce it and in the mean time sort out Brandon in the next few months.

 

 

Good Luck to Coventry for 2017 and onwards.

Even your estiemed leader Neil Watson never posts on here now that must tell you a story.

 

 

Yes he does, post quoted below from 4 days ago.

There is nothing that can be said right now that much is obvious.

 

Steve, please refer to our Press Release of 23rd December www.coventrybees.co/news.php?extend.3798

There is no easy solution that's why it has dragged on for several years ,a site was muted not far from Brandon but that application was turned down by Rugby BC.

With all the in fighting between the stox and Speedway now it's a divided cause as well .

The only solution would be for Sandhu and Horton to make up and be all kissy Kissy and Rugby BC to grow a pair and sort out a compromise deal at Brandon or find an alternative plot of land for Brandon Estates to develop leaving Brandon alone altogether.

If their is a political will to do this is the question ,more money in houses and council tax income I suppose.

There was no application, the council advised that an application would likely fail.

Neil Watson was on here a few days ago referring SS to their pre-Christmas message on their website - that they would post something when there was any updated news!!

 

Negotiations are ongoing and are clearly 'delicate'. The slightest word or statement that might be taken more than one way could be like a red rag to a bull with the 2 protaganists (Sandhu and Horton) involved.

 

Any statement from Coventry Speedway will come with the agreement of Brandon Estates, I would imagine - and rightly so.

 

IMO anything else 'official' that has appeared in the public domain recently is simply one side attempting to flex their muscles via the media..

This is pretty much spot on I think.

A move to Leicester would only work if fans were fairly convinced it would only be for a year and that we would be racing in Coventry the following season. Otherwise what's the point?

Could tell us which hymn you are both currently singing.

Silently the shades of evening

Gather round my lowly door;

Silently they bring before me

Faces I shall see no more.

 

O the lost, the unforgotten,

Though the world be oft forgot!

O the shrouded and the lonely,

In our hearts they perish not!

 

Living in the silent hours,

Where our spirits only blend,

They, unlinked with earthly trouble,

We, still hoping for its end.

 

How such holy memories cluster,

Like the stars when storms are past,

Pointing up to that fair heaven,

We may hope to gain at last.

Neil, What is the current situation regarding Coventry speedway running this year ? Could you ask Mick, & put it on here, if you don't know the answer. Think your loyal fans deserve to know the state of affairs.

"We understand the concerns over the lack of official club updates over recent weeks regrading future plans- the situation is a complex one which involves continual intensive negotiations, however we remain committed that the club will be on track in the 2017 season"

 

"Our best wishes for the festive season and as soon as there is genuine news to report we will do so"

Oh blimey! Just when I was feeling a bit more cheerful about my health and fitness that's taken me back to square one again. :P
