Who in their right minds is going to pump shed-loads of cash into a venture that Horton will be left to run (down) afterwards? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume taking on the stadium will include taking on the rights for the speedway and Stox promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming that for Coventry to return to action, someone with a promoters license will be needed, or will the fairy godmother approach of Belle Vue be relied upon here? This could get interesting if Horton retains the rights to the Coventry "franchise" and someone else runs speedway out of Brandon, as, er, "Brandon Bees", maybe, or the "Rugby Rebels" perhaps? Shades of AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons going on here. Edited April 9, 2018 by uk_martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
