lisa-colette 6,032 Posted January 20, 2017 I have my doubts Horton will be in charge of Coventry if we run.Probably better in the longer term if he wasn't but that's just my opinion! But I guess even Horton is better than nothing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted January 20, 2017 Has anyone given thought to the possibility that Mick Horton may delaying things so that he can be considering his own options, which could include divesting himself from all the hassle at Coventry, and buying the promoting rights off Tony Mole at Birmingham when Mole retires? Why should he think that the hard complicated and aggravated life is the one to choose when there's an easy way out, with less stress, less hassle and none of the surrounding personalities that give hm so much grief.

MFE 105 Posted January 20, 2017 Colin Pratt would be an amazing choice to bring some stability to this situation, furthermore he gets on well with Sandhu, only hope he is well enough following his knee operations, to take on this desperate project. He was a brilliant Promoter at Cradley Heath, and is respected by riders and supporters alike, and we really do need respect reinstalled at Brandon, it's in very short supply over recent years, good luck to all involved with the bail out.

Let's hope the BSPA vetoes this with immediate effect! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oleoleole 227 Posted January 20, 2017 So deadline day has come and gone with no further news...... I've no idea who are the good guys or the bad guys or who is right or wrong....but to be honest I've become rather ambivalent about the whole sorry mess. Thanks to the toxic mix of Horton and Sandhu I'm losing my love of speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's certainly one hell of a rollercoaster ride, but stick in there, if successful the first meetings are going to be one amazing celebration, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted January 20, 2017 Buster also said they could start their season a bit later if need be or could ride their first few fixtures elsewhere!! ps. The Colin Pratt video referred to above is now on the Swindon website as well as facebook. (I hope they don't use it/him to attract more fans!!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
