If the Bees would have been able to stay at Brandon in the top division would he have had the funds for that. He was going to sign a three year lease on the stadium, wasn't he?

I'm sure enough funds wouldve been available to run a team but Brandon needs Stox to be viable. Edited October 10, 2018 by Woz01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll be looking to off load the Bees now he's stripped all the assets, he keeps going back to Peterborough, his former Coventry co-promoter is already there, panthers are for sale 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do fear for Peterborough this time round - the sport is getting harder and harder to run a team viably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear he's finished with Covcester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's come out and asked for sponsorship for next year, although I think it's unlikely we will run it doesn't sound like he's finished with the club unless someone else wants to take it on. I really don't see how he'll have the funds to buy Peterborough outright. If he did however could he run a NL side at Peterborough as well as the Panthers? He'll have a spare club laying around.

cityrebel Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Coventry has been a dead duck from the start really. Poor crowds and infrequent meetings have set the tone for the whole season. Some strange cancellations have not helped the club at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few times we've had break even crowds but some others have been awful. At one point I think we didn't have a 'home' meeting for 11 weeks. We will have to see what everyone's plans are for next year, like if Leicester will run an NL side. Maybe they can run Coventry there? Simple facts are people won't support Horton and that's how they see it. Should someone else take it on I'm pretty certain we'd get more than enough to attend. A lot can happen during the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot can happen during the winter As MH has said if someone’s wants to buy it it’s there for sale and if someone decides to buy it where and what league will they run in ? so until they have somewhere to run no one will want it and pretty sure if they reach the NL final which would be a great feat for a team knocked together from the riders that were left without a team this year the glory hunters will appear out the woodwork :-)) Edited October 11, 2018 by mac101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to get a decent crowd in for this Sunday, possibly our last ever 'home' meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Can't be easy attracting sponsorship when you run 2 meetings at the height of the season and have no real programme to advertise in despite owning a printing company...
