Coventry 2017


Recommended Posts

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?

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?

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.

For Bees fans who want to keep in touch with familiar faces from Brandon the NSSC will continue with their guest evenings throughout the winter.

 

First of all we welcome BT Sports' Natalie Quirk next Wednesday 15th November at 8pm.

 

On Thursday 7th December we have the return of Gary & Lorraine from the Bees Track shop with a well timed Chrustmas Sale! Free entry to all, doors open 8pm. Come and get your stocking fillers and much more!!

 

In the New Year we welcome Steve Brandon on 11th January and Phil Morris on 25th January.

 

Everybody is welcome, non-members only £3 entry. All money raised goes to Neil Vatcher and the GB Young Lions.

 

Our venue is the Brandon Club (just down the road from the stadium). A good bar which also sells hot drinks and light snacks.

 

For all details;

Telegraph reporting that Mick Horton has agreed a deal for Coventry Bees to ride at Leicester in 2018.

As well as the Lions? If so I can't see this working. :neutral:

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 ?

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

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.

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. :sad:

Surely savvy Promotions would move heaven & earth to get Coventry back into the higher divisions ? They always have had an excellent away following . ..
