Says the bees supporter that doesn't support the team just because the running behind it doesn't sit right with him . Like I've said a few times , you're a fantastic supporter. You make me laugh .

Well.... :-D Can someone enlighten us all to exactly what the current 'promotion' are doing to secure a return to the Coventry area? Surely that's the whole point of 'keeping the name alive' ??

Fundinfan Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 The last couple of pages show what a load of clowns suggest they are Coventry supporters. The real fans go to Leicester or show with some dignity why they have other views. This forum helps nobody . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Personally think Dave Rowe and company are doing a great job. If Mick Horton wants to run speedway at Leicester and call the team Coventry Bees then that's his pigeon. But the majority of Coventry fans want to see speedway back in Coventry and preferably back at Brandon. In my opinion running speedway in Leicester wont help one iota. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
