Woz01 Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Ok so now some are saying Brandon Estates are paying Mich Horton to run NL speedway at Leicester so they can build houses at Brandon? What a load of guff. Wheres the proof of this and why on earth would Brandon Estates want to pay Mick Horton any money? They dont have any need to! They have booted out the speedway, have the keys to the locks and have bolted the gates. Why waste money on something they are not interested in? A ridiculous conspiracy theory, for the loonies. They were going to sponsor the club to run at Brandon, if we ran at Brandon in 2017 it would've been added onto the local plan. That was the deal. If you can't see how us riding in the NL at Leicester could help Brandon Estates getting what they want then there is really no point in you adding to the thread but I can't believe you are at the level of Starman. Where's Horton getting the money from? Edited November 20, 2017 by woz01 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Horton getting the money from? Where's Horton getting the money from? From his own pocket and sponsors I should imagine. It doesn’t cost a lot to run an NL team. I could certainly afford it and so could many people. The conspiracy theory of Brandon Estates sponsoring Coventry at Leicester is straight out of cloud cuckoo land. There really is no reason for BE to spend a penny. Think this jackanory story is being spread by very sad people who want to see Coventry become completely extinct.

nbaynes Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just looks like Horton trying to keep the name going, so if any one does tip up with a long term solution he can claim he owns the name and try to extract some value. Its all he has left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this jackanory story is being spread by very sad people who want to see Coventry become completely extinct. Its more Panorama than Jackanory. If a team runs out of Leicester it will help relieve Brandon Estates of their requirement to build a new stadium if (or when)houses are on Brandon. They will argue that a Coventry Speedway team is already operating so no obligation to fund a new stadium. Hortons remarks are in line with Brandon Estates comments about the viability of speedway at Brandon very conveniently not mentioning the stock cars which have always run side by side with the Speedway. If this is such a good idea ,of a Bees team riding NL at Leicester ,Why has it been met with complete silence by the Save Coventry campaign group. Equally it has been met with complete disdain by the people who have kept up with the whole sorry mess, Us suffering Coventry Bees fans.

Mattfordfan Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Not going to work out well moving to Leicester. Who would want to travel down to Leicester of all places on a cold night to watch NL speedway. I would rather stay at home and watch Coronation Street & EastEnders. Should pack it in now and call it day and accept the fact that Coventry are no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
