Sir Jasper 192 Posted February 5, 2016 Coventry in recent times have never been a club to stick with a non competitive side , changes are made . All of the doom mongers last season who whinged about Jamrog were soon silenced . I'm sure whoever aint doing it will be gone... BUT many " supporters " are already critical of young Kacper Woryna when they have never seen him ride or in some bizarre case never even heard of him !! Give the kid a chance eh ? You just never know ....... Jamrog should never have been picked in the 1st place. I dare say Woryna will be the same. Add to the fact we have signed King as a heat leader and a double upper, not managed to "convince" Garrity to do 4 meetings at the start of the season as a reserve, then its been a pretty shambolic winter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedybee 295 Posted February 5, 2016 SAVE COVENTRY SPEEDWAY UPDATE 050216 The Save Coventry Speedway supporters group will this month be making representations towards the Rugby Borough Council's local plan which will set out what we consider to be a strong case for retention of the existing stadium with a proviso to review that situation if and when a realistic and viable funded alternative comes forward which has the relevant support from Rugby Borough Council and the other relevant authorities. We feel this is consistent with the mandate given by those attending the meeting last July. It is still our principal objective to attempt the safeguard the future of motorsports in Coventry/Rugby area thus ensuring continuation of the long and rich heritage of both speedway and stock car racing and enjoyed by thousands of race fans. We will publish the representations in due course we make thus giving an opportunity for race fans to express their support for them. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedybee1972 5 Posted February 6, 2016 Just changing the subject, I hope we have our annual pre season quiz at Brandon this year and hopefully meet one or two of the 2016 team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I come to Brandon twice a year to support kl and its a great place to watch speedway so all the best in keeping it open for the foreseeable future 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted February 7, 2016 Yes, it might get some criticism about various things but Brandon is still one of the better stadiums in the UK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packerman 160 Posted February 8, 2016 He won't. CVS has already said he wouldn't pick Bates because he doesn't want 2 reserves racing on the same night. That's a bit scary as I'd like my 2 reserve riders to race on the same night ie Monday night at Monmore!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's assuming the sensible ones would understand I meant for same PL team, but we'll pointed out. Edited February 8, 2016 by stevebrum 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
From PC to KC. 25 Posted February 10, 2016 I can only see Coventry getting something akin to the Bordesley Green setup that used to run speedway in Birmingham, if that, as very little help seems to be forthcoming from either Coventry or Rugby Council. We have had 3 years now from the original announcement and are still no further on. This has all the makings of a Cradley at Stoke scenario, we move to Leicester for 1 year then goodnight Vienna. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naffer 442 Posted February 10, 2016 Let's hope for the best. We can possibly take some solace from the fact that the Ex Garden centre opposite the stadium has had a housing development refused, but when are the various parties involved going to blink on this one. We have been kept waiting for news on a possible site for ages, fingers crossed this is the news wozzer updated us on. I am still amazed that the People behind the housing at Brandon haven't submitted an application to Rugby BC . I do have a horrible feeling we are going to fade away ,but cling on to the hope that somehow we don't, however ludicrous that is. Up the Bees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
