Woz01 3,589 Posted January 21, 2017 and you cant really blame those riders if they do. Horton has had a tremendous amount of goodwill (which probably he doesnt deserve personally) from the riders due to their respect for the club and the fans. Lets hope the decision to stick with him is justified for those that have. Agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therefused 824 Posted January 21, 2017 Would that be because of travel difficulties or because your claim (to be a KL fan) is conditional and not totally loyal? why would i go to one of our rivals to watch us? totally wouldnt interest me at all, it wouldnt be kings lynn.

1 valve 558 Posted January 21, 2017 Pardon, say that in English please.. Leicester will not be taking Coventrys riders on. Coventry would ride there as there home meetings untill something permanant can be sorted. Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,672 Posted January 21, 2017 Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointing Promoter not promoters. Dave Darcy doesn't want the Bee's at Leicester but it's not his decision. Buster is the owner of Leicester Speedway and if Coventry are homeless it'll be his decision & his only regardless of Darcy's opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted January 21, 2017 Cracks me up reading this thread at times. The true speedway fans on here all hoping for a solution and that Coventry come to the tapes, as the Coventry Bees, at Brandon Then you get the Poole duo clogging up the thread , only these 2 could show such stupidity....Leicester Bees.........pillock! Clear those 2 from speaking on here and let all the rest of us hope that 1 of the 2 biggest clubs in the Uk (no not Poole) come to the tapes somehow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DW 11 Posted January 21, 2017 I have never known any club in any sport run in such an appalling manner. I can think of a few football clubs!! Glasgow Rangers, Blackpool,etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,658 Posted January 21, 2017 we do not want or need Coventry at Beaumont Park! Bloody cuckoo's! But if that turned out to be the least worst solution I would welcome them.I can think of a few football clubs!! Glasgow Rangers, Blackpool,etcIndeed. The Bees may not even be the worst run in (the) Coventry (area). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 21, 2017 Although it appears the Leicester promoters do not want the Bees in Leicester under such circumstances. Which is dissapointingClearly the reason Leicesters team has not been announced is because if Coventry don't, the team will relocate to Leicester. The news that Lawson is not wanted shows that things have moved on out of the public domain. Moving the whole Coventry 1-7 to Leicester makes business sense. Leicester get their team, which would be better than the teams they have had to put up with in recent seasons, and Coventry fans can make the short trip up the road to watch what would effectively have been the same 1-7 they would have supported at Brandon. Clearly it would not be called Leicester Bees, as Leicester fans would certainly not want that, but it would solve the problem as to where the riders will go and give them employment. There would be other issues. If Coventry don't run, would the riders registration go over to the BSPA, or would the Coventry promotion be in a position to "loan" them to Leicester. Or, would Horton muscle Dave Darcy out of the way ( or would Darcy move aside) to move the Coventry promotion lock, stock and barrel up the road. Whatever way its looked at, there's no getting away from the fact that it will be viewed by all speedway fans as a disaster for the sport. Most of all the loss of a speedway club, which given the current circumstances has very little to no chance of returning in future years. The Coventry fans have been treated abysmally throughout this whole sorry escapade. The silence throughout "delicate nogotiations" makes very little sense. Whilst the public may not be privvy to the ins and outs of every detail, I have never experienced the complete lack of communication between a sports club and its beleaguered supporters. Negative rumours abounded this morning about the club moving lock stock and barrel to Leicester. I for one hope the rumours turn out to be false and that somehow, at the very last moment, Coventry Speedway can somehow be saved. And I am sure everyone feels the same. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
