wealdstone 3,454 Posted January 15, 2017 What does Horton have to gain by saying everything is still going ahead and that he's trying to fix thing if he's given up? If he wanted to give up it would be very easy for him. I don't understand the idea of him lying here. His latest statement gives no assurance things are going ahead only that riders contracts have not been cancelled. That was never the claim anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj350z 2,266 Posted January 16, 2017 His latest statement gives no assurance things are going ahead only that riders contracts have not been cancelled. That was never the claim anyway. You haven't answered the question though, as to what would be the point of Mick Horton stringing everyone along. Can't see what he would/is he gaining from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Red 2,383 Posted January 16, 2017 His latest statement gives no assurance things are going ahead only that riders contracts have not been cancelled. That was never the claim anyway. It doesn't ONLY SAY that - read it again, it says more . . . "I AM fully aware of how tough recent months have been for everyone connected to Coventry Speedway. I do apologise for not being able to provide regular updates on the club’s position, which continues to be a delicate one. What I can assure supporters is that all parties are continuing to talk, and naturally we are all hopeful of a positive conclusion. I am aware of rumours which have circulated stating that our riders have been released; this is absolutely not the case, and I would like to place on record my thanks to them for their understanding. I would also like to thank the BSPA for their continued support given the difficult circumstances, and we will endeavour to update everyone further as soon as there is more clarity to the situation."

You can read it as many times as you want. But there's nothing cut and dried.. What does Horton have to gain by saying everything is still going ahead and that he's trying to fix thing if he's given up? If he wanted to give up it would be very easy for him. I don't understand the idea of him lying here. No neither do I, but there you go..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbaynes 69 Posted January 16, 2017 Could the Bees race Sunday afternoons? Would not need floodlights then. Be a problem for Bjerre I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,661 Posted January 16, 2017 Could the Bees race Sunday afternoons? Would not need floodlights then. Be a problem for Bjerre I guess. Be a bigger problem for Coventry, no chance of play off Kenny giving up Poland.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 16, 2017 And every other team would be missing a couple of riders. Definately a no go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted January 16, 2017 His latest statement gives no assurance things are going ahead only that riders contracts have not been cancelled. That was never the claim anyway.Maybe because he can't give assurances. All he can do is tell us how things stand. Imagine he told us, "yes, everything is sorted" then it turns out it's not? We'd all him a liar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
