dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 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. because in the previous years his top flight contract was signed before the fixture release. This years it hasnt been. Any top flight fixtures now would be classed as amended/rearranged and therefore the original fixtures take priority.

Starman2006 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... Think its an absolute discrace. But there you go, clearly nobody cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeanti Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sounds like some people on here would rather the plug be pulled on the Bees last Friday rather than they be saved a week later? Just so they can carry on their lives without the burden of doubt on their shoulders? If it was my team id be happy to wait until the day before the season started if it meant they were to compete that year. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) SpeedwayGB @SpeedwayGB SpeedwayGB @SpeedwayGB Whilst there is still genuine belief that the Bees can remain on track in 2017, we will continue to give them that opportunity.

Gemini Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 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. No of course they don't. If Sandhu and/or his family are involved with Brandon Estates the last thing they want is to let the stadium be up and running again so obviously the answer is to keep Sandhu out......or am I being too cynical and suspicious? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I not sure if he is or isn't I've had several different stories I don't know what to believe. I do think that Sandhu is likely to make money from houses at Brandon though.

Many thanks. If a home cannot be found for the Bees & the BSPA wish them to carry on why not allow them to ride all their meetings on the road ? The extra revenue the tracks make from the extra meeting could be divided up between the two participating clubs .To be fair the Bees do seem to take more supporters away than most teams . I have read many times on here Bees fans are not going to go to Leicester & Lions don't want em anyway !!! Surely its better to have Coventry visiting than a meaningless fixture filler ?

I have read many times on here Bees fans are not going to go to Leicester & Lions don't want em anyway !!! Surely its better to have Coventry visiting than a meaningless fixture filler ?I expect there would be two issues:1. I imagine that if the home club takes only half the revenue, they've I'll lose money hosting the fixture 2. I imagine this would mean bees riders riding for the "standard" rate that the home team need to pay. Would the likes of king and Bjerre actually ride for this?

houdi Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 . Also Wasps haven't been based in London for years. No they were based at Wycombe, they never have in their history been based anywhere near Coventry. They are a franchise club,in the same way MK Dons are a franchise in football. There is and always has been a rugby club in Coventry with over a 100 years of history, called Coventry Rugby Club, that has always represented this City. A club that has produced numerous England internationals and were the top club in England in the 1970's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do know Coventry Rugby Club, I used to have a season ticket as a child (think i was 13) when they were still at Coundon road. Went to Moseley school behind it and the players sometimes trained on the school field. I still attend occasionally just like I do with every major Coventry sports team, there are a few!

Lions supporters just feel their season is being held up because of the Cov situation. You have Cov fans hoping the talking continues and Lions fans hoping the talking ends. Like you say does it matter ? There are still 6 weeks to the Ben Fund. There's time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 The sport is in the biggest mess in its history so it's far too early to be asking anyone to applaud the person in charge of this ongoing embarrassment until everyone sees a sport to be proud of attending each week. At the end of the last season there EL teams were either closed or in the process of it. Due to the BSPA, and the personal intervention of the chairman Buster, two are about certain to open, and maybe the third which is outside busters control now. You don't 'alf talk a load of crap at times. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club that has produced numerous England internationals and were the top club in England in the 1970's. Whether you like them or not, is your choice. However what is indisputable is that for their seven home Aviva Premiership matches they have attracted 123,423 fans at an average of around 17,600 per game. Oh for a speedway franchise that could deliver similar results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
