Woz01 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 There is no prospect of Brandon being bought up to spec. The owners are already hawking it around the motor trade and offering it as a vehicle storage site. Moving to Leicester is actually the quickest way to extinction, as the club would be bankrupt at seasons end and still have no long term plan. The game's up I'm afraid. We aren't the first and we won't be the last team it happens to. It's been a good run and now it's time to move on. I think the quickest way to extinction would be not to run at all. I noticed someone said on twitter they might be realising 'some' of the fixtures. ??! It does say full list on the speedway gb twitter feed.

Agrotron Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 They could just release them and have Coventry on there with TBC next to each one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 And you all have to apologise to Starman as it would mean he was actually right!! Bees fans were so adamant it wouldn't happen (and gave Starman grief for continuely mentioning it) and yet looks like it might have to. Don't be silly Lis, that will never happen. Not on here anyhow.

CB252 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Another claiming to be in the know......... Unfortunately the only bit I am in the know about is the bit about the site being offered as a car storage facility. It's being offered by JRB consultants in Solihull on behalf of the owners. I've seen the particulars of the offer complete with pictures of Brandon in all its glory. As to what is happening to the team, I haven't got a clue. Same as everyone else.

robert72 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) The coventry fans don't deserve this situation at all because be it this year, next year or the year after greed £££ is going to end up as the winner and it makes me sick! Like there isn't enough empty fields elsewhere to build houses on. sucks The Bees fans have known this was going to happen for a very long time, The fans should of bought the club and run it themselves and then they wouldn't of gone through weeks of worry which still continues. Let's hope for news tomorrow Edited January 23, 2017 by robert72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope for news tomorrow Bought the club with what? We don't just have millionaire fans wandering around, we aren't Poole! Whoever bought the club when Horton did would have ended up getting stitched up and having nowhere to run at this point. The way forward is a basic stadium in a field as, realistically, that is all British speedway can pay for these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get support from the local council to lease some land with permission for speedway then get as many people to help do a somerset/leicester type stadium and keep it a fans owned club like they do at several football clubs, then it's down to the fans to build it up.

It's an interesting idea but, dare I say, the wonderfully forward thinking BSPA wouldn't make this an easy feat to accomplish?!

We have to do what we can and if we don't run less people will be interested in doing anything about it.

I am surprised we haven't had a fans run club yet, I think it's the way forward and doubt the bspa would object as it wouldn't been in there interest to rock a fans owned club.

CB252 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 so if the way forward is a basic stadium in a field (which I agree ) why the need of millionaire fans which is not needed. You were on about buying the club, which is what Mr Horton purchased from Mr Sandhu. Presumably purchasing riding assets etc comes with a price that would be beyond the remit of your average speedway fan? Millionaire might be a stretch but you'd need a sizeable amount of cash to literally throw away with little chance of a return on your investment.

There you go make it a fans owned club now and you will get more help. Edited January 23, 2017 by robert72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
