Jacques Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I don't think it should be too difficult. The problem is now, that by opening his gob, hes caused the group to have to issue a statement. I've sat here, read it and felt that there was a glimmer of hope, which is exactly what they were trying to avoid at this early stage.... The blokes an idiot! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbee Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 http://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/news.php?extend.87 A more reliable/trustworthy source of info I would suggest. looks like Horton is trying to mess things up .I just wonder with what's gone on whether Horton is getting a back hander from a certain developer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Estates will want a new stadium to happen, helps there chances in future to build houses. The problem is now, that by opening his gob, hes caused the group to have to issue a statement. I've sat here, read it and felt that there was a glimmer of hope, which is exactly what they were trying to avoid at this early stage.... The blokes an idiot! Yep it's the last thing he should've said! Tal to the group on Twitter occasionally and I've said to them more than once that fans just want news when something is pretty much finalised. When Jeff tweeted yesterday I knew it would be about a site, they didn't and still don't want to raise hopes as it's in the very early stages. Confirming that a pre planning app has gone in has raised my hopes though but I do wish I didn't know about it, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 At the very least I see this as a hopeful statement. Keeping my fingers crossed for all Coventry Speedway Supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you and I know the garden centre opposite has been derelict for probably 20 years now and still no houses last I heard it was going back to being a garden centre what chance planning for the stadium site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the garden centre opens it would make it more difficultdue traffic in and out of both sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Never heard of Brandon Bob. As for me and Starman what have we done wrong? Tell me and I'll apologise if I've done something wrong. Seriously all joking aside. Get professional help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Where did I say I think Sandhu will fund it? I said he that hes said he would so let's see. You, or I have no idea how it would be funded yet. You almost sound disappointed that fans have got off their backside and managed to get to a point where they've put a pre planning application. Utterly bizarre. the fans have got off their backside and done a whole lot of shouting , but when it comes to the crunch they don't have the money to back it up This is bad News. I really hope they don't wreck the place. Where are the Police? Sandhu invited them ,, odd the garden centre across the road has been derelict for so long yet never had gyppos move onto there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealFiend Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I wonder if Mick Horton paid the travellers to come back seeing as his original plans to save Brandon back fired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Who is going to pay for this new site to be developed, because it will be far too expensive for Horton in my opinion. Suggest contacting a Mr Hemsley for advice on how to finance new stadium. However, be careful not to let him in, and conduct dealings with a long spoon.

Coventry_Bee Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I love how the conspiracy theory just won't go away, no matter how many people say it. Sandhu's name has been dragged through the gutter in all this, I just don't understand how people think this is all so pre-planned. My concern would be how the hell to shut Mick Horton up and who is giving him information to go blabbing. The telegraph and Horton seem to now and again crop up with unhelpful headlines. We were told we would know something when it was the right time, the work that the committee have put in along with the councils has been risked by somebody who should know better But instead we add this to the CV of hortons cock ups and disaster stories. More than ever, I'm not sure if it's because it's the end of the season or the realisation that 2018 looks the same as this that I really miss Brandon. 10 years since the glorious treable and driving past and just wanting so much to be able to have a walk round for a last time. Brandon estates have proved a nasty piece of work that can't be trusted, won't speak to the speedway group set up by Jeff and David but can comment on travelers. I hope Rugby Council repay the silent treatment for decades when they finally come crawling out the hole and submit an application, nobody wants them about and the reputation and press they have received has not been favourable at all. I just want my speedway team back, I want it run by somebody with integrity and honesty. But I also want to win the lottery ... Fingers crossed on all counts then hey. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) for housing yes but not for speedwayYep imagine both entries being used constantly all day. The road is to narrow to deal with that. Plus I guess the garden centre will have hgvs delivering stock. In other news which I'm not sure hasn't been put on this thread. Scott Nicholls, Rory Schlein, Kyle Howarth, Adam Roynon and Joe Jacobs ride for Coventry Bees at Leicester.

Please don't make any more offensive posts like this , Coventry speedway was doomed the minute Sandhu walked through the gate , and suggestions that he is any kind of innocent in all this IS offensive to a lot of Bees fans , Edited September 7, 2017 by speedibee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What IS offensive is reading half the utter tripe written on here. As a Bees fan I think we have so much to thank Sandhu for or did you think 2005,2006, 2007, 2010 was just a magical happening that occurred in this cloud cuckoo land you are in. Were you moaning when Emil was signed, were you moaning this time 10 years ago in the clubs most successful ever year. Riders have come out and spoke in support of Sandhu and the way he conducted himself as owner of the bees. If the finger was to be pointed anywhere it is the BSPA as they made Coventry's life very difficult and Sandhu sold up, British Speedway would have been in a far better position had at the time Sandhu been took seriously. Who do you think maybe funding this new venture out of interest then? The Council, Mick Horton or Somebody who has just sold an asset for a few million? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
