mdmc82 2,878 Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I know we are all hurting and everything feels negative at the moment but the worst thing we can do is give up. We know we won't be racing this year which is a huge blow but we need to do all we can to try and make sure this isn't the end for good. The Coventry Observer are the first to openly take action. They have started a campaign to save Coventry Speedway. https://coventryobserver.co.uk/?p=45969 Twitter quote: First Save Our Bees story going up tonight at 7.30pm. An interesting read. The campaign to get the Bees back on track has started! #SOB Edited February 27, 2017 by mdmc82 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCB 0 Posted February 27, 2017 Obvious who Harris trusts and believe and it's not Horton and co https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/exclusive-bees-legend-chris-harris-backs-s-o-b-campaign-and-praises-former-owner-sandhu/ He doesn't mention not trusting Horton 🤔 He says he trusts Sandhu and Colin Pratt. All the hints coming from those in the know suggest the issue is Brandon Estates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted February 27, 2017 This is the most worthwhile of causes. I want the Bees back as much as anyone. Be careful people, please. Let's not take sides just yet till ALL the facts are known. Conclusions are not accurate just because someone proclaims them as the truth. The experience so far is that the people who really know what's going on, are the ones who are saying the least. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the hints coming from those in the know suggest the issue is Brandon Estates. I would certainly trust Colin Pratt. Riders are bound to trust Sandhu because let's be honest when he owned us he was damn good at it. Since he sold the club and stadium I'm not sure he has the same motivation for speedway as he did then. I'm willing to be convinced that he still cares though as I do believe IF his intentions are actually good then the club can still come back and thrive. Some think that some of this was about getting rid of Horton I'm starting to think that's a possibility As for the campaign I absolutely back this, the journalist who started this is a Bees fan so you know his intentions are good. We should also back Jeff Davies and Dave Rowe who are trying to help us to run in 2018 Edited February 28, 2017 by woz01 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well this is the sticking point but we as fans have to make it difficult as possible for the site owners. If rumours are correct that they are willing to sell it shows that it's already working. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacques 3,114 Posted February 28, 2017 EXCLUSIVE: Speedway legend Chris Harris backs Observer campaign to save Coventry Bees https://coventryobserver.co.uk/?p=45974 Why would Sandhu and Colin Pratt want Speedway back at Brandon.

If it has been I apologise and if posted out me I will HIDE this Post: http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.31838 Thanks for the link. This line in Mr Horton's statement caught my eye: There was no indication at all to suggest the future of Coventry Speedway was the subject of debate. In fact, the meeting covered far more important matters within the sport. What on earth could that be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
