Starman2006 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 it is not an option where have you seen that is an option nowhere So share with Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBee Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 It's extremely disappointing that Coventry fans are insisting it's Brandon or nothing. It's 30mins down the road!?! If King's Lynn were in the same predicament and had to go to Peterborough I don't think many Stars fans would have a problem with that. If the Bees get a lifeline of survival and the fans turn their back on it then I'm afraid you'd be as responsible for the closure of the club than anyone else. if it's a 6-12 month solution it has to be backed by the supporters Such a stupid comment to blame fsns who won't travel anymore. Maybe some people travel from the other side of Coventry so this makes it longer and more expensive (already overpriced). Not everyone lives within a stones throw of Brandon and Leicester's track is hardly going to have racing to get the casual fans to spend extra money to go and see there team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So share with Wolves. That's definitely not an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 And how many times do people have to tell you before it sinks in you have an option. But i suppose you are happy to watch your club die, which would be a real shame.. But each to there own eh.. If Buster thinks it's a good idea Coventry riding on another track , let them ride at Kings Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 At some point a decision has to be made about the future of Coventry Speedway, talks cant be allowed to go on for ever, so whether its positive or negative news I think we need to know.

I agree, but you would have thought if it was positive you would have known by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 That's definitely not an option Not enough dates, Cradley may ride their fixtures 50% at Wolves and 50% at Birmingham. But the simple fact is fans will not watch their team elsewhere as it not 'their ' team. Wolves closed in 1981 and 1982. Cradley was 10 miles away and Birmingham 15 miles. During those 2 years I went to 1 speedway meeting and that was at Birmingham when a friend asked me to go with him.. Without your team it is not the same. I wonder if Starman would watch 'Poole' if they track shared at Swindon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFE Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 The place would be empty.. Let's throw in another scenario, with only a few NL fixtures to worry about, how about Bees riding at Perry Barr in 2017, reckon that could just work at a push.

rainman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 You might well not be happy with the idea but have no choice. Of course Leicester is only a short distance away so easy to get to if the latest rumours have any weight. I hope they are not and Poole can come up and kick your arse again. I notice you didnt answer my question that would you be happy being called poole hanmers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beevers Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Without having to trawl through a lot of speculation, can I presume there is no word on this matter yet? I thought the deadline was Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Telling Coventry fans to go support Leicester if they don't come to the tapes is like telling King's Lynn fans to go to bloody Ipswich, NEVER ON YOUR NELLY! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Without having to trawl through a lot of speculation, can I presume there is no word on this matter yet? I thought the deadline was Friday? There`s an interview with Buster Chapman over on the BSPA site where he says he received an email yesterday that would clarify matters, about time to I hear you cry. Seems the deadline for the future of speedway at Coventry has been extended and then extended further, at some point a line needs to be drawn and a decision made, that line appeared to be yesterday but so far no word.

wealdstone Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I do not know what the current situation is but I was told some time ago when the future of Coventry became tenuous that the plan was to move to Leicester albeit on a temporary basis.

Woz01 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 If it's someone new taking over at Coventry then it needs to be ratified by the bspa committee. It's extremely disappointing that Coventry fans are insisting it's Brandon or nothing. It's 30mins down the road!?! If King's Lynn were in the same predicament and had to go to Peterborough I don't think many Stars fans would have a problem with that. If the Bees get a lifeline of survival and the fans turn their back on it then I'm afraid you'd be as responsible for the closure of the club than anyone else. if it's a 6-12 month solution it has to be backed by the supporters I live pretty close to the M69 junction and it would take me 30 minutes without traffic to get to Leicester. Now someone on the opposite side of the city you can add 20-30 mins to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
