Yes . When sandhu stood down from speedway. And offered the promotion for grabs. With the hundreds who were wanting to take it on and mick Horton got the nod. How surprising. It’s almost like he was the only one who was prepared to give it a go and without him spoedway would have been all over at Coventry 

What an opportunity.... It would be like the Masked Singer... Seven riders, and, one by one... "Take it off! Take it off!"... Harry Redknapp and Linda Lusardi as the judges guessing the identities...

Great!!! It would be super to see black leathers and proper racejackets again. 👍🙂

How true that is  , when I took a quick glance at the post the name sent a shudder down my spine.😁

The Brafield team of the 1950's and 60's were called the Badgers. Given that Badgers are mostly seen dead on their ar$es they do share some other similarities with those who run British Speedway. They have very poor vision and they are creatures of habit who will follow the same paths for generations despite the dangers and do not adapt well to changes in their territory.   Badgers would be ideal. All we need is a Bodger to manage the mashed potatoes. 

For God's sake, don't mention Horton!   They're still looking to name a figurehead promoter....
