Good , in that case why are you making issues of my opinions.  I have an interest in speedway generally - didn't realise everyone has to post on here only after getting clearance off you as to weather you'll agree with it or not and to help in your negative stance on Coventry speedway.  As I said your boring me and many many others with this constant view. I'll not waste any more of your time but to do that you need to stop replying to my posts . 

Desperation strikes,  forums are for  opinions if you hadn't noticed..

Has to be said - for all the negativity and willingness to fail in their new venture the bees as a team have started the season in a positive manor and I wish them luck for the season ahead.  Hopefully they'll start getting the crowd they deserve and anyone against the whole thing in any way - it's simple ,  no one is forcing you to go and watch but for those who are choosing to then don't put a downer on it for them . These people are the real supporter's who club's rely on to keep them afloat. 

Don't think it's fair to say those that are not attending are not real fans. There are reasons why people decide not to go. I agree with the rest of the post. I do hope that some do at least give it a go if they can, I know some that haven't been yet will be going to the Cradley meeting.

For many it is and that's their loss , for the rest who aren't stuck in the past and wishing for something different then they are the ones enjoying good speedway from the bees . The only drawback in your words is personal issue's and the weak argument of a few quid in petrol money.  Like I said if you don't like it please don't spoil it for others who can deal with the current situation.  

I wonder if they will still be of the same opinion if or when Brandon is demolished?  Can the housing developers be stopped from removing stuff, digging up the track and drainage etc?  heard the other day they have had a quote to tear down and remove the hangers.

I'd love to be back at Brandon just like any other Bees fan, but the chances of it ever happening I'd say are minute.

The site is designated for motorsports so I dont think they can take it down without permission. Also they need permission due to the amount of asbestos.

With about 12 weeks of the season left, has anyone heard of any plans for next year? are the promotion doing anything?

Promotion are running the team and Save Cov Speedway group are campaigning. I don't think there is any chance of Speedway or Stox being at Brandon next season at this stage so it'll either be Leicester or no where. There are still 8 'home' meetings left plus the 4s so when it gets into the latter stages of the season we may hear what the plan is (if any) then.

Well, I understood Leicester to be one year only, that's why I wondered what the promotion is doing.. I know the Save Cov Speedway group are doing a fab job, but even if Brandon miraculously came back for next year, they dont have promoting rights or the team name!

Fab job ? They will ultimately be the main reason why most people will never see Coventry bees ride again . Those who think there is the slightest chance of a return to Brandon are completely deluded ...

I do disagree with that. The government appointed planning inspector recommended that Brandon is given greater protection which would make planning for houses extremely difficult unless there is another facility within the borough or nearby. The group made that happen. Don't get me wrong it's a long shot to save Brandon but this does give us a greater chance to do that or even a new stadium. We shall see what Brandon Estates do when planning is refused.

Don't think any decision is made on next year but I'd guess they'd want the crowds to improve a little to do the same next year. If Brandon was saved then the club would come back, why wouldn't it? Either Horton would run it and not lose money or sell it to whoever is interested in running both sports in the stadium. Horton is willing to sell.

Maybe I'm mssing something here.

The Save Coventry Stadium team have told the fans to make their own decision on wether to attend Leicester or otherwise, It's focus is on saving the stadium which is used by both Speedway and StockCars,

It's used by nobody and hasn't been for nearly 2 years ... Like I say zero chance of a return

Of course there is a chance of a return to Brandon.

it wont be easy but there is a great will and mood to make it happen with the campaign group.

They have countered many of Brandon Estates arguments and  have the backing of many MPs, 1800 people objected to the notion of building on Brandon.

The hard work the group have done will I am sure be reflected in Brandon not being included in the Local plan for the foreseeable future.

The initial planning application will be rejected without doubt.

 Brandon Estates may well just sit on the site for decades and then nobody wins ,but at the moment we have hope.

up the Bees.

So...nothing is being done at all then in reality?
