Also do Bees have to sell assets as I gather NL clubs are not allowed assets? You can keep the assets you already have, just can’t ‘sign’ new ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted January 12, 2018 I was told that National League clubs can now sign assets but that there are strict restrictions on the price to be paid if one of the assets is sold to a senior team. Can anyone confirm that ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jz77 0 Posted January 12, 2018 Any idea on signings??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted January 13, 2018 The club will need to sort out some form of social media as the save Cov speedway group took over Coventry Bees Twitter feed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those who followed Coventry in the Elite League will have to get used to where you are in the pecking order when it comes to riding in the NL. You are in the bottom division now and that's how you will be regarded by much of the media. It makes it worse that you are riding in Leicester -- doubt the Leicester area media will be much bothered and you will have to fight for every scrap of publicity in Coventry. You will be in the back of the book in the Speedway Star; your big news will be small news when set against the likes of Poole. Good luck Coventry, you are going to need it.

The point is: Speedway struggles to get publicity. NL clubs are at the bottom of the pile. Coventry riding at Leicester makes it even harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woz01 3,589 Posted January 15, 2018 With ex Storm riders Greenwood, Dwyer and Halder still not signed up I wouldn't be surprised if they are named and Jack Parkinson Blackburn rumoured to be number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
