orion 7,608 Posted November 14, 2017 I would be awfully suprised if you ever run again under the name of Coventry Bees. I told you what the altunative was last year. Sounds rather fishy to me . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woz01 3,589 Posted November 14, 2017 What this deal has done has put us fans in a difficult situation. Follow the side at Leciester where the 'the enemies' are running the club or don't follow and they then claim the support for the club is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbee 510 Posted November 14, 2017 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? No because now we will lose Brandon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Follow the side at Leciester where the 'the enemies' are running the club or don't follow and they then claim the support for the club is gone. It's a lose lose situation IMO. The minute that the bees take to the track at |Leicester it strengthens Brandon Estates position. Worth a few quid to get Horton to put out a very dubious press release and then support him at Leicester for a season.?? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Red 2,383 Posted November 14, 2017 He added: “A standalone stadium either at Brandon or elsewhere has never been commercially viable and will never be commercially viable for the club." Fantastic quote Mick. What an absolute bonehead. Fans, hopefully, will treat this news with the contempt it deserves. Done purely so that a promoter that everyone despises can keep his licence. Sunday afternoon NL speedway at the monorail? I'd rather stay defunct cheers. In no way am I standing up for Mr Horton But I would suggest that his comment relates to a speedway-only stadium not being viable - which is probably true I'm intrigued as to his motives - it couldn't possibly be financial (to run a NL team 20+ miles from "home") so . . . what is it?

Erm, it may have escaped your notice but we're de-camping to a speedway only stadium. Only Horton could move a club to a purpose built, speedway only venue and then claim that a purpose built, speedway only venue isn't viable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes , the very same guy who told us that he had financial support to build a new stadium not so long ago. Â Also that he had spoken to Rugby Council about finding a new site. How anyone can be foolish enough to believe anything that comes from this man is beyond my imagination. Edited November 14, 2017 by Dave Jones 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,819 Posted November 14, 2017 No because now we will lose Brandon It's lost while BE are involved anyway. Why can't the campaign group still carry on? The aim surely is to get speedway back at Brandon or in Coventry? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ovalfan 14 Posted November 14, 2017 This plays into the developers hands to say its unviable. Should be in a higher league with the fans supporting in good numbers to prove them wrong. National league at Leics will be a disaster. Well done Horton you clown. Putting the last nails into the bees coffin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
