Dave Jones 2,124 Posted November 14, 2017 Surely savvy Promotions would move heaven & earth to get Coventry back into the higher divisions ? They always have had an excellent away following . .. I think you will find out in due course that the Telegraph report reflects what Horton wants to happen. Wobbler racing at a track some 20 miles away and calling them Coventry is an insult to the bees and the fans. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree , the Bees fans reportedly never turned out in numbers for National League fixtures ( I went once James Wright 18pt max Flawless ) So I would expect the AGM to place Coventry in the higher division ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way, no one wants to travel to a crap track to watch a cheap crap team, put together by a crap promotion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,820 Posted November 14, 2017 What a come down from where we were Leicester national league team how can you call them Coventry Bees Cradley have used Monmore to keep their great name alive. Surely that's the point?? If Bees fans don't attend you may as well forget about any hope of any continued racing for the club. Surely this is great news for any Bees fan? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think most fans would be happier putting their faith in the Save Coventry Group than Horton. They are a much more trustworthy bunch of people who appear to know what they are about and have the support of some influential people. I don't think it's essential that the team runs next season to be honest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Would it work if Horton wasn't in charge, possibly. No way will this work with Horton in charge AND then the possibility of Brandon Estates helping out. Cradley have used Monmore to keep their great name alive. Surely that's the point?? If Bees fans don't attend you may as well forget about any hope of any continued racing for the club. Surely this is great news for any Bees fan? Not when there is a chance Brandon Estates are involved Edited November 14, 2017 by woz01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SheffieldTigersFan 9 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Telegraph reporting that Mick Horton has agreed a deal for Coventry Bees to ride at Leicester in 2018. In the national league I believe (EDIT:just seen that I'm a bit late, sorry folks😂) Edited November 14, 2017 by SheffieldTigersFan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
