Really!! In what seemed no time after the takeover we saw a perfectly adequate management team dismantled . Rosco moved out and Colin Pratt pushed sideways.

Then we had Colin's service dispensed with as team manager to be replaced by a series of " ragamuffin type characters" called team managers in his place , none of whom appeared to have a clue what Coventry Speedway represented. During all of this time we were getting messages from Mr Horton about making up our minds whether we wanted top class speedway at Brandon, and his guarded threats about running at a lower level. While all of this was going on he was attending BSPA meetings complaining he couldn't afford to run.

I wouldn't call that well a run club , and I won't even get involved with your comment about still being there had the stadium been available.

I think this was more to do with Horton than Neil

I don't think we are aware  of just what the association was  my belief is that Horton very firmly in primary control

I can see where you're coming from, and I would have happily got behind the team Ged put together. However, after Buster cannibalised it to prop up his other clubs, I lost interest. It is clear that he has no ambition for the club other than to make up the numbers, and if he doesn't care, why should I?

Only one rider (Wright) is in the 1-7 tonight from the team announced on Dec 20th 2018. How things have changed since Chapman's carving and unfortunate injuries have turned the Panthers into red hot favorites for the wooden spoon :(
