Woz01 3,589 Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) So would it be better for the Bees fans who constantly slag the bloke off to cut him a bit of slack & enjoy the few seasons speedway left at Brandon ? If they don't like the set up just don't go & you will have nowt to gripe about .. To be fair if he shouldnt be above criticism but yeah sometimes people go overboard for whatever reason.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that because they already don't go but still moan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CB252 1,376 Posted September 26, 2016 Anyone else spot the quote at the end of the story regarding the Midland league fixture still to be run ? "As yet the second leg venue and date are not finalised but hope to be this week" The MDL team have ridden almost all of their home meetings on the road this year because of stadium 'unavailability' thanks to the ever helpful former owners. Doubt there will be any further two wheeled action this year due to Sandhu's last stand. You have to wonder whether it's worth being saved when you look around on other threads and see them dominated by discussions regarding who's pulled the best stroke to try and secure the latest hollow victory. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted September 26, 2016 It's been announced that Brandon Stadium is NOT on the draft local plan for a site to build houses. Not houses but possibly a football stadium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Not houses but possibly a football stadium As Rugby Council said to Coventry Telegraph when asked, a football stadium will have to be included in a local plan and Brandon is totally unsuitable for a football ground. I will post it again and perhaps you will grasp it this time, Brandon is not on the draft local plan. Edited September 27, 2016 by woz01 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Jasper 192 Posted September 27, 2016 So now that Brandon has not been included on the local plan Sandhu is upset that Horton has done a deal to run the stadium for the next 3 years, effectively replacing Sandhu & Heaver. To me it looks as though Horton has stolen a march and given Coventry Speedway the best chance its had in a few years of surviving. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Sandhu had sold the stadium for 2.something millions so how come he is still involved and able to put the prices up in the bars etc. Has he rented from the new owners until the end of the season when Mick takes over.....hopefully.
