Gemini 4,894 Posted November 20, 2017 Steve Shovlar..............From his own pocket and sponsors I should imagine. It doesn’t cost a lot to run an NL team. I could certainly afford it and so could many people. If it's that easy why didn't the Storm finish their matches last year when Mick Horton was in charge?

naffer 442 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Where's Horton getting the money from? From his own pocket and sponsors I should imagine. It doesnt cost a lot to run an NL team. I could certainly afford it and so could many people. The conspiracy theory of Brandon Estates sponsoring Coventry at Leicester is straight out of cloud cuckoo land. There really is no reason for BE to spend a penny. Think this jackanory story is being spread by very sad people who want to see Coventry become completely extinct. Its more Panorama than Jackanory. If a team runs out of Leicester it will help relieve Brandon Estates of their requirement to build a new stadium if (or when)houses are on Brandon. They will argue that a Coventry Speedway team is already operating so no obligation to fund a new stadium. Hortons remarks are in line with Brandon Estates comments about the viability of speedway at Brandon very conveniently not mentioning the stock cars which have always run side by side with the Speedway. If this is such a good idea ,of a Bees team riding NL at Leicester ,Why has it been met with complete silence by the Save Coventry campaign group. Equally it has been met with complete disdain by the people who have kept up with the whole sorry mess, Us suffering Coventry Bees fans.

Mattfordfan 286 Posted November 20, 2017 Not going to work out well moving to Leicester. Who would want to travel down to Leicester of all places on a cold night to watch NL speedway. I would rather stay at home and watch Coronation Street & EastEnders. Should pack it in now and call it day and accept the fact that Coventry are no more.

SCB 0 Posted November 20, 2017 Just looks like Horton trying to keep the name going, so if any one does tip up with a long term solution he can claim he owns the name and try to extract some value. Its all he has left. Boom. We have a winner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Jones 2,124 Posted November 21, 2017 Has starman hacked into your account ? I don't think that's the case. It's a common trait in several of the Poole based posters, I think it could be something in the water. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
