Big Al 708 Posted January 23, 2017 If it was to give time for the Bees promotion to get Brandon up to H and S spec after the lease was sorted out, I can't see why that wouldn't work? The Bees temporarily using Leicesters track for the start of the season, why wouldn't it work? Just say for the Bees first 3, maybe 4 home meetings.... Yep, get all 4 of the Leicester v Coventry fixtures done quick and early Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,820 Posted January 23, 2017 And you all have to apologise to Starman as it would mean he was actually right!! Bees fans were so adamant it wouldn't happen (and gave Starman grief for continuely mentioning it) and yet looks like it might have to. Nobody does. Darcy said in interview in last week's SS that Coventry at Leicester isn't viable and wouldn't happen. If anything has changed then that is Buster's and Darcy's perogative. Nothing to do with one person getting anything right. The radio interview only said it was a possibility that it might happen by the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted January 23, 2017 The radio interview only said it was a possibility that it might happen by the way. Has there been an interview with Horton broadcast? The news article I heard (at 2pm) was just quoting him and said it was one of a few options :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bees temporarily using Leicesters track for the start of the season, why wouldn't it work? Just say for the Bees first 3, maybe 4 home meetings....There is no prospect of Brandon being bought up to spec. The owners are already hawking it around the motor trade and offering it as a vehicle storage site. Moving to Leicester is actually the quickest way to extinction, as the club would be bankrupt at seasons end and still have no long term plan. The game's up I'm afraid. We aren't the first and we won't be the last team it happens to. It's been a good run and now it's time to move on.

New era Panthers 2,055 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Spot on post. How co-incidental the 2 Clubs that took the pot of gold, are now owned by Chapman. The 2 clubs that took the pot of gold were Kings Lynn and Birmingham so are you suggesting that Birmingham are own by Buster Chapman as well as Kings Lynn. Not particularly keen on the bloke myself can still picture him going round the showground in the seventies trying to ride a speedway bike he was very much crap then.

Woz01 3,589 Posted January 23, 2017 Another claiming to be in the know......... If you're on about owners touting Brandon as a car storage facility then I'm afraid it's correct. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
