SCB 0 Posted February 10, 2017 He definitely doesn't help himself with the ideas he comes up with. Im wondering whatever happened to the, "buy a house fund" that was meant to happen to buy a house that foreign base riders could live in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted February 10, 2017 Nothing probably. Just another crackpot idea that no-one would give money for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted February 10, 2017 Im wondering whatever happened to the, "buy a house fund" that was meant to happen to buy a house that foreign base riders could live in. Not sure there was ever a proposal for that was there? I do remember they asked if we knew of houses for sale locally, surely a Google search would've done.

brandonmole 85 Posted February 10, 2017 Just to be clear, there could be a 50/50 this season but it won't be run independently by the NSSC. Before the end of last season Mick Horton advised the NSSC that they were welcome to run the 50/50 in 2017 as long as the proceeds went to a 'Future home fund', not to the riders as usual. The NSSC canvassed regular ticket buyers at the ELRC, took a straw poll at an NSSC event and also a vote at the AGM. The overwhelming response was that supporters wished to continue donating the proceeds to the Storm riders and the Bees reserves. This conflicts with the Bees management's preferred use of the funds so the NSSC has reluctantly withdrawn from managing the 50/50 Draw. Mick Horton thanked the NSSC for their efforts over the years. Russ Bott NSSC Talk about alienating those who want to support you. What an absolute t***** Horton is. And yet still some see Sandhu as the only villain here ...

waytogo28 2,054 Posted February 10, 2017 Horton never was any kind of "saviour" ( remember Peterborough ) he is and always has been a chancer - as he is now with the "temporary" move to track share with Leicester. When it turns out he can't get back to Brandon ( as is very likely ) he will pull the shutters down on a loss making run in Leicester. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oleoleole 227 Posted February 10, 2017 During the current NSSC committees' reign since 2004 a grand total of £56,584 has been donated to 68 different riders! Of course this has only been achieved by the great support of everybody who bought 50/50 tickets. Thank you!

Russ Bott NSSC What a piece he is! Does he want to alienate us any more. We had this before and it failed....Mainly because people were so pissed off about it, is he just plain stupid! As Gem say's I thought Sandhu was paying for a new stadium....... Well I wouldn't be giving anything towards a stadium fund. Who knows where the money would end up. Anyway, what does it mean exactly? Putting right the present stadium or towards building a new one? I very much doubt if the latter will ever happen and I thought Sandhu was in charge of sorting out the former. I wouldn't give him a penny either. It's unreal that he thinks people will.. I don't expect to see Speedway at Brandon again, with or without the 50/50 donations... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coventry_Bee 467 Posted February 10, 2017 It is unfortunately another PR disaster and the reaction or more sarcastic laughter when it was announced last night says it all. Sandhu has the money, Sandhu it looks is helping fund the bees this season so I just don't get where Mick thinks he needs funds for a stadium? The riders, especially the younger riders and the storm I imagine found the money a real help, now it's being asked to fund what? New stadium or really towards the running costs of the current season?? Why not run an 80/20 to help things a little more? After the winter we have had, to add more bad feeling is unreal and annoy the fans he wants to get behind the team, give us a few lines of how we are in it together !! Utter crap. Don't bite the hand that feeds you comes to mind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
