hagonshocker 1,956 Posted March 25, 2014 So when do we think mick will decide to go and have a look at the track, maybe Friday at 6pm. As soon as the whole crowd of 200 mugs have paid to get in..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted March 25, 2014 In the Coventry Observer Horton is quoted as saying he is 'hopeful' it will go ahead on Friday and also says for the sake of the club, himself and the stadium will have to agree to disagree. I think thats the attitude they have to take, the mud slinging doesnt help. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 25, 2014 To have such a public spat does no one any good whatsoever and makes the club look terrible. What the hell is it with sport in Coventry? Not the place to live for sports fans it seems. problems with both major sports. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the place to live for sports fans it seems. problems with both major sports. It has been horrible, the track has always been good to race on and have great memories over the years. Really hope they sorted it out between them. Fans and riders really looking forward to start of season. Heartbreaking that Brandon will be gone in 3 years, even worse that it could be gone sooner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranktonBee 54 Posted March 25, 2014 Dont tell me that the Tiddlywinks team is having problems! Cov FC having to move was bad enough. Cov FC are still at the Butts Park Arena, and getting bigger crowds than the Bees could hope to these days. I take it you mean Coventry City FC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Cov FC are still at the Butts Park Arena, and getting bigger crowds than the Bees could hope to these days. I take it you mean Coventry City FC?Are you sure? I thought they struggle to get 1,000 through the gates these days. Edit: Just read on there website last season their crowds varied from 600-1100, Bees probably a bit higher than that but hard to know for sure.
