Woz01 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Unless you bought the club name from Mr Horton you would have to change the name I would think Rugby Hornets anyone sorry Woz01 I had to get that in after all it is in Rugby borough Luckily it wouldn't cost much anyway, Horton knows that.

kingbee Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 If Mick Horton has the rights to Coventry no other person could come along and start a new club with 30 miles of Coventry. The bspa would notgrant a promoters license.do you really believe that Steve? do you really believe that Steve?what does he actually own the rights to he only leased the stadium that has run out.He has not got a team he has a few assets?

The White Knight Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 IF there was a need to change the name it would have to be something that the wider community can get behind. Warwickshire Bees? Coventry Jaguars? Personally think it would be a mistake to change the name unless there was no other choice. Coventry 'Bees', have always, as far as I know, been Coventry 'Bees'. I wouldn't be very happy with a change of name (nothing to do with me, of course) the the 'Bees' Logo is Coventry Speedway Team and traditionally always has been. As a traditionalist - I would hate to see the famous Coventry 'Bees' called anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes a return of the fighting bee or a modern version of it rather than the wasp type version that we currently use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Steve does believe it as he is quite correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bees_Man Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Well let's hope Horton is sensible if and when someone makes enquiries about the club. For me I can't see how it's worth an awful lot in the current state and with a demonising old asset base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fliss44 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I couldn't give a flying fig about the name as I would just settle for getting our speedway team back on track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 COVENTRY are pleased to add another Challenge match to their schedule with a visit to SGB Premiership newcomers Rye House now agreed. The match at Hoddesdon will take place on Saturday May 6 (7pm), which was a previously scheduled date for a league encounter between the clubs. And it is set to be a major Coventry re-union as four of the Rockets team have ridden extensively for the Bees during their careers. Chris Harris (2004-10, 2012, 2014-16), Scott Nicholls (2005-07, 2009, 2012-13), Edward Kennett (2009-12) and Stuart Robson (1995-6, 1998-2004, 2013, 2015) all have strong connections with the club, whilst at reserve Robert Branford is a former member of Coventry Storm in the National League. As with the match at Wolverhampton on April 10, Rory Schlein will be appearing in the Coventry team in place of Kenneth Bjerre. We would like to thank Steve Jenson and all at Rye House for their help and co-operation in arranging this fixture.

Daniel Smith Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 King said he will still ride for Coventry in their meetings this season Wouldn't count on King being available for 6th May.

False dawn Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wouldn't count on King being available for 6th May. Leicester have this date reserved in their fixture list We only said Leicester could borrow one or two of our riders. Anything to help out a struggling neighbour, eh?
