SteveLyric2 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well one thing is for sure - judging by Dave Darcy's 2 pages in the Star this week, there's no way Coventry will be sharing with Leicester in 2017!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say something and it goes wrong and they look stupid, say nothing and it looks like they don't know what they're doing so must be stupid... Are you saying that Rule #26 applies? Maybe they should stick to rule #2? (and I see Speedway Star are featured in rule #4 lol) Edited January 12, 2017 by uk martin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agrotron Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 So isn't it this the last day to state intent of running if so is a statement by BSPA coming or do we have to wait till a week before the season starts before anyone says anything.

I never understood where all this talk of them sharing always came from as Horton said last year it wouldn't be happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Quote .......Starman. Yes it's him that keeps banging on about Coventry using Leicester's track. There was never any intention of doing this by the promotion and it's certainly not what either set of fans want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theboss Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I am sorry to say that I have heard from a reliable source that the Coventry riders have in the past 48 hours been told by Mick Horton to start looking for a new job. Maybe Neil Watson can do the decent and correct thing and either CONFIRM or DENY this? And before anyone starts to defend Coventry Speedway's stance on staying silent (which seems to be only with the fans in this case), I do not see how this would interfere with any legal technicalities if still ongoing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no reason to disbelieve this unfortunately as I have heard the same. The shale that was taken is now at belle vue stock car track. That's to me was a sign that things are over. But until it's official let's pray that it's not true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't like rumours they tend to be rubbish especially during this debacle but it does seem likely this is the end.

Woz01 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I was told the other day we would hear something today and that there was a meeting with the BSPA also today. As with everything else I brushed it aside but seems that at least some of it maybe correct. Now we have these rumours coming out it's the time for Coventry Speedway to confirm or deny this.

philfromcov Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 the fact that the statement came from the bspa says it all, the team will turn up either Leicester or belle vue... unfortunately i wont turn up anywhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Very sad news to lose a club. Sandhu finally getting his way. And to think some actually supported him on here. Feel for the riders, some of whom will miss out on a job, and feel for the long suffering Coventry fans who had to watch their club slowly wrecked by someone only interested in building houses. The removal of assets at Coventry Stadium was an act of vandalism with the sole purpose of bringing about this result.

As someone who defending their silence recently I now agree, we need news. Even if it's just a sentence or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
