For goodness sake - you tried to disrupt the lakeside thread on a similar subject, why don't you just leave the things you mention to the folks who put their hard earned time and money on the line for this cause. 

It's actually an insult imo for you to post something like this.  So pompous.

Best wishes to everyone connected with the Coventry cause - don't let such negativity from pillocks like this disrupt the passion you all have.

 

 

I take on board your comments The Doctor and respect them to the full. I put forward my observations NOT to sabotage the efforts of those who want to revive stock cars and speedway at Brandon Stadium. I make them so that they are aware of possible bids and schemes that could be made to thwart their 'saviour' plans. 

How many times did we hear/read that Wimbledon Stadium would - even had been saved? Now the developers have a flat development while AFC Wimbledon will also be based there.

As I see things it is best to be aware of the tactics that developers and their legal machinery will initiate to make their venture succeed. And as I have previously said in this thread I have pleasant memories my own visits to Brandon Stadium. If the stadium can be saved all well and good.

I think that if you had taken the time to follow, read fully, and digest what has been stated by the Save Coventry Group  on this issue you would understand that they don't expect this to be easy. They aren't making any promises or bold statements , but anyone with common sense can see that they have their plan and they are working extremely hard to save the stadium from the developers.  I'm sure they are fully aware of all the possible pitfalls yet continue to do their best to secure a future for speedway/stocks.

I wish all success to the group and their efforts to bring short circuit car racing aka 'stock cars' and speedway back to Coventry. I am pleased that you have an awareness of what you are up against - my Posts were designed to alert to possibilities which it now appears you realised were there.

With respect, this has got diddly to do with Wimbledon, and i see nothing in this recent update where anyone is getting ahead of themselves saying Coventry has been "saved".

Without this sounding offensive, i doubt a committed, organised,  sensible bunch of ladies and gents behind this campaign would need any advice from you regarding modern discussions with councils and landowners etc.

As someone who isn't local to Coventry, like me also, i think perhaps we should just get behind their efforts, and in your case, stop wittering on about Wimbledon.

A guy who will go down in the Coventry Bees history, all for the wrong reasons.

seems Gustix can't help himself from trying to put speedway down at every opportunity still, despite being told to stop, and always agreeing he will.

maybe another thread will surface .. "10 Favourite Tracks that have closed"

10 tracks I wish had not closed would be a nice thread...for me Coventry would be one.

ADD Wimbledon, Wembley, Hackney, Crayford, West Ham, Romford, Rye House, Harringay, Leicester Super, Belle Vue, Cradley Heath, oh dear, I seem to have gone over ten, better make it 50 for safety!

I saw racing at those mentioned except Leicester Super and although I prefer smaller tracks it has always interested me what racing there would have been like.

Sticking to 10...West Ham, Hackney, Wimbledon, Wembley, White City, New Cross, Harringay, Romford, Rayleigh and Coventry.

As I holiday every year in Norfolk and have done for 30 years, I wish Norwich were still in action.

I am pleased to say I saw racing at all of your ten and wish I had got to The Firs for both Speedway and Stock Cars!
