Agrotron Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) I would of thought Horton knowing that this could potentially be the last year of Coventry Speedway would of put together a team with a few surprises and made it at least a force to be reckoned with, but what a load of absolute brown stuff this is. I feel sorry for the Coventry fans in general with this team and with the stadium coming down bit by bit.

beesboybert Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I really don't understand the doom and gloom over this team. Comparing it to an "Elite League" team, it doesnt look great, but we aren't in that world any more. In Bates/Sarjeant and Kerr we should have the best two reserves in the league all season, and looking at what other reserves are likely to be signed, they should clean up, and then be full of confidence if/when they move into the main body of the team. I'm quite optimistic for this teams chances.... as long as the stadium issue is sorted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite optimistic for this teams chances.... as long as the stadium issue is sorted Bates is a good young improving rider, Sargeant and Kerr are young but seem to have a high average for their ability and i expect most people can't see them improving much. I expect most were expecting a better rider in the main body of the team with one weak reserve which seems to be the way some other teams have done it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Hammer Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Lewis Kerr is on a bargain average - was struggling with new machinery for 3/4 of the year, changed back to what he knew & was flying in the last 1/4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Jasper Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I believe the statement is coming from Jeremy Heaver, at least it is according to The Stox forum. http://forum.stoxnet.com/topic/30851-coventry-rumours/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbo Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I can't believe the situation we have major problems with our chosen sport and have had for a few years. For the last few days we have had gloom doom and speculation on this forum. We are waiting for "latest news" the best the Bees can provide is a report on the show st the NEC. Mr Watson is a regular poster on the forum but where is he, he has a responsibility to inform the Coventry suporters of what the current situation is. It could be all huff and puff at Brandon with a genuine reason for whats's happening. A clear bit of information from the club could stop all the silly speculation. I realise there should be legal reasons for not supplying the exact situation but would suggest we are owed some explanation from Mr Watson in view observe of MH! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 It may well be that Messrs Horton and Watson are in as much of the dark as the rest of us. To say nothing or indeed carry on as if nothing was going on however shows IMO an arrogant disregard for supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAN ON THE TERRACE Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) BBC Coventry & Warwickshire radio have just said speedway correspondant Wayne Roberts will be on their sports programme tonight between 6pm & 7pm with more information Edited November 28, 2016 by MAN ON THE TERRACE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertsRacer Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 According to the Save Coventry Speedway Facebook site, in tonight's Coventry Telegraph it states that all fixtures and fittings in Brandon Stadium belong to the stock car promoters, so possibly a problem between them and Mick Horton.

Only how I see it but it's probably Sandhu's way of getting the cheapest rental deal possible. Of course he could've actually tried to get the stadium lease himself in the first place instead of telling everyone no deal could be done with the new site owner.

Then again it could be just the opposite, and Horton could be trying to extract an unreasonable fee for the stocks to run. With Sandhu playing hardball given that he owns everything required to run speedway at the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way its 2 pathetic individuals trying to do business and gain oneupmanship. Sad state of affairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If was in Sandhu's position and someone made me an offer like that I have no doubt that I would struggle to deal with him in a civil manner too.
