Jacques 3,114 Posted September 6, 2017 He is connected that isn't in doubt but it seems relationships turned sour! Sandhu didn't sell to Brandon Estates, it was sold twice very quickly it seems. David Rowe from Keep Bees on Track says they are "aware" of a new site and they'll give a statement today. I love the way that statement is worded! I can understand now, why Jeff was so upset yesterday. IF, there is a realistic possibility of us getting a new stadium, we need to make sure that Horton is nowhere near it!!! I should imagine it's quite easy to muscle him out and even revise the name of the club to make a new company? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedibee 3,091 Posted September 6, 2017 I very much doubt Horton has had much if any input. Sandhu always said he'll provide a new site so we will see. So a pre planning application went in 25th August, the group have worked hard. If you think Sandhu will do anything about a new stadium you are deluded , you think Horton can't finance a new stadium ,yet you think a gaggle of empty pockets dissapointed supporters lead by a couple of dreamers can , most amusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said he that hes said he would so let's see. You, or I have no idea how it would be funded yet. You almost sound disappointed that fans have got off their backside and managed to get to a point where they've put a pre planning application. Utterly bizarre.

Jacques 3,114 Posted September 6, 2017 I don't think it should be too difficult. The problem is now, that by opening his gob, hes caused the group to have to issue a statement. I've sat here, read it and felt that there was a glimmer of hope, which is exactly what they were trying to avoid at this early stage.... The blokes an idiot! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingbee 510 Posted September 6, 2017 http://www.savecoventryspeedway.com/news.php?extend.87 A more reliable/trustworthy source of info I would suggest. looks like Horton is trying to mess things up .I just wonder with what's gone on whether Horton is getting a back hander from a certain developer? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 6, 2017 looks like Horton is trying to mess things up .I just wonder with what's gone on whether Horton is getting a back hander from a certain developer? Brandon Estates will want a new stadium to happen, helps there chances in future to build houses. The problem is now, that by opening his gob, hes caused the group to have to issue a statement. I've sat here, read it and felt that there was a glimmer of hope, which is exactly what they were trying to avoid at this early stage.... The blokes an idiot! Yep it's the last thing he should've said! Tal to the group on Twitter occasionally and I've said to them more than once that fans just want news when something is pretty much finalised. When Jeff tweeted yesterday I knew it would be about a site, they didn't and still don't want to raise hopes as it's in the very early stages. Confirming that a pre planning app has gone in has raised my hopes though but I do wish I didn't know about it, if that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted September 6, 2017 At the very least I see this as a hopeful statement. Keeping my fingers crossed for all Coventry Speedway Supporters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,362 Posted September 6, 2017 Never heard of Brandon Bob. As for me and Starman what have we done wrong? Tell me and I'll apologise if I've done something wrong. Seriously all joking aside. Get professional help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hope they don't wreck the place. Where are the Police? Sandhu invited them ,, odd the garden centre across the road has been derelict for so long yet never had gyppos move onto there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
