Blimey, that’s a bit harsh. Surely there’s a chance of the NL first? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's nice, I don't think most speedway fans would want any club closed, I expect most clubs would have trouble selling their club especially if they didn't own the stadium they ride on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's not a nice comment. I know what it is like to lose your speedway team but sadly there were a number of Poole supporters on this forum who enjoyed watching Coventry's demise. You were certainly not one of them but it is hardly surprising that you are getting some of these responses now. Poole won't be missed that much because they never did have large number of travelling fans but every PL team being lost to the league is a huge blow to the sport. I sincerely hope you have a successful season in the Championship and I hope the team/club continues for many years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankyou, personally I am very sad that Coventry speedway is lost, I very much enjoyed my trips to Brandon including the times when it hosted the GP, seeing AJ rip between Adams and T Rick was a sight to behold. As a fan who does travel to a lot of away tracks, it is certainly something else I will miss as I doubt I will travel as much to Championship tracks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He says he can not finance both! Bull rubbish. He's not trying to finance both. He's in a partnership.. He's not even building a hotel. He's helping to renovate a chateau. If he's that desperate for cash then he would have accepted any offer - and there were some!! Why would you put your son in charge of something that couldn't make money and why would his son give up his full time day job if there wasn't money to be made? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
