Woz01 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 and you cant really blame those riders if they do. Horton has had a tremendous amount of goodwill (which probably he doesnt deserve personally) from the riders due to their respect for the club and the fans. Lets hope the decision to stick with him is justified for those that have. Agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Would that be because of travel difficulties or because your claim (to be a KL fan) is conditional and not totally loyal? why would i go to one of our rivals to watch us? totally wouldnt interest me at all, it wouldnt be kings lynn.

1 valve Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Pardon, say that in English please.. Leicester will not be taking Coventrys riders on. Coventry would ride there as there home meetings untill something permanant can be sorted. Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointing Promoter not promoters. Dave Darcy doesn't want the Bee's at Leicester but it's not his decision. Buster is the owner of Leicester Speedway and if Coventry are homeless it'll be his decision & his only regardless of Darcy's opinion.

Gavan Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Cracks me up reading this thread at times. The true speedway fans on here all hoping for a solution and that Coventry come to the tapes, as the Coventry Bees, at Brandon Then you get the Poole duo clogging up the thread , only these 2 could show such stupidity....Leicester Bees.........pillock! Clear those 2 from speaking on here and let all the rest of us hope that 1 of the 2 biggest clubs in the Uk (no not Poole) come to the tapes somehow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I have never known any club in any sport run in such an appalling manner. I can think of a few football clubs!! Glasgow Rangers, Blackpool,etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bees may not even be the worst run in (the) Coventry (area). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointingClearly the reason Leicesters team has not been announced is because if Coventry don't, the team will relocate to Leicester. The news that Lawson is not wanted shows that things have moved on out of the public domain. Moving the whole Coventry 1-7 to Leicester makes business sense. Leicester get their team, which would be better than the teams they have had to put up with in recent seasons, and Coventry fans can make the short trip up the road to watch what would effectively have been the same 1-7 they would have supported at Brandon. Clearly it would not be called Leicester Bees, as Leicester fans would certainly not want that, but it would solve the problem as to where the riders will go and give them employment. There would be other issues. If Coventry don't run, would the riders registration go over to the BSPA, or would the Coventry promotion be in a position to "loan" them to Leicester. Or, would Horton muscle Dave Darcy out of the way ( or would Darcy move aside) to move the Coventry promotion lock, stock and barrel up the road. Whatever way its looked at, there's no getting away from the fact that it will be viewed by all speedway fans as a disaster for the sport. Most of all the loss of a speedway club, which given the current circumstances has very little to no chance of returning in future years. The Coventry fans have been treated abysmally throughout this whole sorry escapade. The silence throughout "delicate nogotiations" makes very little sense. Whilst the public may not be privvy to the ins and outs of every detail, I have never experienced the complete lack of communication between a sports club and its beleaguered supporters. Negative rumours abounded this morning about the club moving lock stock and barrel to Leicester. I for one hope the rumours turn out to be false and that somehow, at the very last moment, Coventry Speedway can somehow be saved. And I am sure everyone feels the same. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 when Wimbledon moved to Eastbourne mid season that was it for me. and when Wimbledon FC moved to Milton Keynes, no more football for me. why would Coventry supporters be expected to go to Leicester? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a positive to any negative I suppose when Wimbledon moved to Eastbourne mid season that was it for me. and when Wimbledon FC moved to Milton Keynes, no more football for me. why would Coventry supporters be expected to go to Leicester? It would be a temporary solution until the current stadium issues get resolved I should imagine. If the stadium issues can't be resolved then Coventry would be finished from 2018. If there's hope of a club continuing all avenues should be considered & used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So we've now got until tomorrow according to Chapman. At least that gives hope a solution is being worked. For me the Bees need to come to tapes at Brandon. Any other option will see me stay away. Same as when the sky blues went to Northampton for a season. fingers, toes, arms and legs crossed.
