Dave Jones Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) What a suprise no one was there from Brandon Estates. Pretty sure if they were, they would be well known to all. Big effort required by speedway and stox fans, combined with local residence, to get this building project kicked into the very deep grass. Big effort required!!!!! What the hell do you call the work carried out since last March you clown? Edited October 20, 2017 by Dave Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Jones Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Good god with remarks like this its hard to muster up sympathy for a few Coventry morons. If you cared to take the time, and checked out what's been going on with the Save Coventry Speedway Group, you would realise that a massive amount of effort has been. and still is being put in.

Of course there is. And NOW is the time for maximum effort. That was all I was saying but if you would rather call people clowns than appreciate that fans from other clubs actually care, then why should I bother to write an email to the planning department supporting the speedway and stox application for refusal? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Work on this has been going on since 2014 when we set up Facebook and Twitter accounts along with meetings with various people involved. It involved a fair few people with speedway and stox connections along with a couple of people who are millionaires I gather. Already put in a pre planning application for a site but I don't know what's going on with that exactly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Lions ride on the new race night in the PREMIER to keep the Bees alive they could enter a team into the Championship & race on Saturdays perhaps ?

Alan_Jones Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 The article suggests they may be forced to start off in the NDL. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/speedway/coventry-bees-leicester-lions-brandon-13901969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) When Cradley tried riding at Stoke , it did not work out due to asking supporters to travel too much for home matches. If it were one or possibly two years with the knowledge of a new track in Coventry then it may be financially viable. Hope the Coventry fans are happy with the news Edited November 14, 2017 by Gunner85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 He added: “A standalone stadium either at Brandon or elsewhere has never been commercially viable and will never be commercially viable for the club." Fantastic quote Mick. What an absolute bonehead. Fans, hopefully, will treat this news with the contempt it deserves. Done purely so that a promoter that everyone despises can keep his licence. Sunday afternoon NL speedway at the monorail? I'd rather stay defunct cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 If Coventry join the Championship and ride on Saturday's as Bananaman has suggested then I'd be a bit more hopeful of it being a success but I very much doubt National League will work out even if it's the only team they have. The attendances at Coventry were woeful so people are hardly going to travel over to Leicester. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have had an excellent away following . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
