ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted May 17, 2017 Reading a article earlier in which it says Coventry bees could be making a return to British speedway in the 3rd tier been the most likely.. Another big stand alone club in the nl wont be popular with alot of people i do think we need to start looking into better structured leagues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted May 17, 2017 I think it will be great personally. And prove that the nl is the best league 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fliss44 346 Posted May 17, 2017 I would happily settle for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mimmo 1,070 Posted May 17, 2017 That would be a great move, as I still think the NL offers better value for money than the other two leagues, so fingers crossed on that one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted May 18, 2017 It's a bitter pill to swallow at first....but then things get better : ) I hope it's true, from a neutral point of view! I think you'll be track sharing though ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The idea is to AVOID track-sharing, and to get racing back in Coventry - to keep the support and enthusiasm alive while we seek a long-term solution to allow a return to the top level.

Guest GiveusaB Posted May 18, 2017 I wish you well, but imo you wont be seeing speedway in Coventry for a very long time! You'll be lucky to see speedway at all, let alone at top level !? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ancient mariner 540 Posted May 18, 2017 How can this be anything other than good news? More power to the Bee's collective elbow (assuming that Bees have elbows) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner85 603 Posted May 18, 2017 NL speedway is better than none at all. Watching the young riders progress.... hope the Coventry faithful back the NL If it happens... Similarly hope Plymouth fans keep the numbers up and Speedway continues there for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Thought this was pie in the sky. But genuinely looks like Coventry will return to Brandon next year and doing what I suggested months ago. Close off the stands and race Sundays to negate the lack of lighting. Assume they will run under the Bees name? Edited May 18, 2017 by teaboy279 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted May 18, 2017 Is this story really true ? Where did the news come from ?? Anybody out there know the facts ?? Sundays with no lights needed MAY make Brandon available, I don't know how the owners/developers will view that. Would dearly love to find out...IF true, great news for the National League which is steadily improving its stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted May 18, 2017 Coventry have experience of running National League and they have been attractive on the road. Another big name for the National League will be most welcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted May 18, 2017 Are there enough riders of NL standard to be shared out amongst an increasing number of tracks? I guess it depends on what Coventry want to do. Will they want to develop the youngsters (if there are enough to go round) or will they want to "do a Stoke" and become a Retirement Home for those too old to hack it any more in the Championship. Maybe Coventry and Stoke could be founder members of a Seniors League? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
