Pogo1 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think that on Friday, the day of the deadline something has happened, I believe Coventry wouldn't have came to the the tapes if the announcement was made on Friday, That's the only reason I can see that there hasn't been a firm announcement yet, people saying that the BSPA don't care etc is wrong imo, if it's dead in the water it would have been out by now surely, hopefully there are still parties going on behind the scenes trying to get Coventry and Leicester to the tapes come the start of the season, I understand the frustration of both sets of supporters but maybe just maybe no news is good news. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's odd how a sport can go from a passion to just something you enjoy. Maybe as mentioned before the stox will look for an alternative area of the country. Does make you think had Horton agreed to the deal with the stox, would something else have happened to stop us being at Brandon. wake me when the nightmare is over It wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference if Horton agreed with Sandhu or not. Brandon Estates quite obviously don't want Sandhu operating at Brandon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A London Rugby team , a football club without a ground , a speedway team without a track , only one venue in the City to see a band that only holds approx. 1000 !!!! ..

I see that Brandon Estates have this morning dismissed rumours about the stadium and car park being turned into a car lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen gigs at Ricoh Arena bowl, Ericsson exhibition hall, The Empire and at Warwick Arts Centre in the last 2 years. Also Wasps haven't been based in London for years. Edited to add Godiva Festival too. Edited January 24, 2017 by woz01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Do the Wasps have a Bee team?😂. Talking about Wasps though if we do move to Leicester then Horton and Neil Watson should ask Wasps how they helped their fans from the south make the trip to Coventry. 2 years later many are still attending games regularly.

Shale Searcher Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Still no news coming out of SGB/BSPA/SCB/ACU Towers...... Surely, something has to break soon, A yes/no is needed and quickly, another maybe, May as well be a no.. Come on folks, give the Bees fans and speedway fans in genereal the news that's required...

Arch Stanton Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) http://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/louis_wants_witches_to_hit_the_ground_running_after_danny_king_and_rory_schlein_boost_1_4861571 Here Chris Louis confirms, that Danny King (or Rory Schlein) don't YET have Premiership clubs.. Ipswich will also still have priority if, and most probably when, they do get a Premiership ride. Don't really get that and something must have changed from previous years because Ipswich have announced King first in previous seasons, and then lost priority as soon as he joined a top flight club.

nbaynes Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Fixtures look a bit of shambles. Somerset seem to have the Bees riding there 3 times, perhaps we are track sharing with the Rebels. Rye House are not putting the fixtures up until they are all confirmed.

wealdstone Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 What a total shambles this all is!! The whole future of British Speedway is teetering in the balance yet those in charge continue show an arrogant disregard for those they expect to pay their money at the turnstiles, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
