WalterPlinge Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The thing is, most people can see through the (alleged) bribe from Brandon Estates to shunt Coventry off to Leicester. And most people see Horton conspiring with the enemy by taking the (alleged) bribe. Once Coventry race at Leicester, Brandon Estates can say to the council "Look they're happily re-homed at Leicester. They don't need a stadium in Brandon anymore" And who do we think invited gypsies to Coventry stadium? Do we think the gypsies just happened across the stadium themselves? They say there's only a padlock on the carpark gate that gypsies cut through easily, but isn't it a fact that when the stadium was in use there was never much more than a padlock on the car park gate? But the gypsies never invaded the car park then. It's as if someone invited them now. And of course there's the mystery fires that will eventually burn the stadium to the ground. Has Brandon had any major fires in the past 70 years? But now it will mysteriously have several. Accepting the Bees move to Leicester is giving in to Brandon Estates plans and bribes to show that no one needs Coventry stadium anymore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to give him money they might aswell buy the whole club and they then would be in complete control. It's not hard to look in the media that the site is now basically abandoned and owners don' give a monkeys about it so it becomes a much easier target for travellers. Also as the SCS group are content that BE are not involved and it wont hindsr anything they do so that's the way I will take it. Also I believe when Sandhu owned the site he had 24 hour security on site Edited January 25, 2018 by Woz01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurnTwo Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Im guessing Halder and a 4 pointer then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated above decent signings. Glad Luke has found a place on the back of a good season last year & if Phillips can rediscover some of his pre injury form it looks a very potent side. Not sure i can see Dwyer getting a place? Suspect Hunter, Halder + 3 pointer to complete the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Dwyer, Halder & a 3 pointer is my guess. Looks a decent team that should be edging into the top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always tough on a forum. The best most exciting team by quite some distance could be announced and there will be some who view it as boring easy home wins every week. From an outside point of view it looks like Coventry are putting a good side together in a league where entertainment is plentiful plus a Sunday afternoon may be a more tempting spectating time than Saturday nights / the new early week slot. Time will tell but personally i am glad to see Coventry back on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair enough. I was just wondering what made you believe that there is a change in attitudes now as I haven't detected anything to suggest that is the case.

Perhaps speaking to people who have changed the way they feel/think about it? Not everyone likes to convey what they feel online especially as there seems to be a need for those not going to tell the world why their not going and why others shouldnt every day on Facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJ81 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Glad Luke Harris has been snapped up, he's a rider I enjoy watching. A fast starter and you could see his confidence grow through the season last year both at home and away. Hope he has a good year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I agree with Walter and others slippery Mick is not getting my coin. i can’t see this venture furthering the case for speedway at Brandon Good luck to the young lads who will get a ride now though that is a positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 So, you all boycott and help to kill it off. You'll then have plenty of time as the bulldozers and houses to move in to say "Well, we showed them". You have a golden opportunity to show that there is still a genuine interest in the Bees. It's sad that so many of you are throwing it away. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have changed my mind as I originally wasn't going but living in Leicester and on the downward slope to oblivion it would be daft really not to attend all the matches I can while I am still able. I think we have got the message now and it is imprinted on my brain the names of those who won't be going as we get told at every opportunity on here and Facebook. Quote ......naffer............ can’t see this venture furthering the case for speedway at Brandon. Do you really think there will ever be Speedway at Brandon again or if a new stadium will be built? Afraid I don't so it makes no difference if there is a Coventry team riding at Leicester. Edited January 27, 2018 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
