Absolutely the merits of the development have been shown to be flawed with affordable tick box houses in the wrong place. Everything BE tried to do was deflection. As others have mused on here I’m confident the houses will be refused again but what that leads to is another story. I reckon SCS should get Phil Morris to sum up tomorrow I reckon he is still up for a bundle with BE. up the Bees

After last night Chris holder fill your boots

Some great teams over the years didnt Hackney have a team that went unbeaten ,might be wrong sheffield had a great team in the seventies bob valentine reg wilson Doug wyer rick france bob paulson arnold haley bengt Larson i think they all averaged 7+ in the spirit of a dream team of performances at Brandon over the years of opposition riders only ,who never rode for the bees either. ray wilson dag lovaas bo Petersen ivan mauger barry briggs anders michanek Peter collins

Tommy knudsen david Bargh john jorgensen rick miller kevin tatum david clarke andy hackett 1987 bees league winners reserves were pants but the top five was brilliant. A real dream team

NHS want money from Brandon estates if the site is developed for houses ,to compensate for services to be rendered as it were ,£133k I think.

Quite and that in warren hunter’s submission he said the only years a loss was made was when the greyhounds were operated.

I thought the fordmeister did well he fought his corner calmly. he expressed his experience as a promoter would make Coventry successful as an older statesman of the sport -go Cecil. So Taking the positives the most successful promoter wants to promote speedway at Brandon. we have a millionaire businessman with the funds to renovate the stadium appropriately. stock cars will always thrive at Brandon Phil morris explained vehemently the current media and state of speedway in a positive manner. On the negative side it would be easy for the chair to add weight to the affordable housing provision so as to expedite the site not laying desolate for another seven years. probably an irrational worry by me though. up the bees

I have this image now of Matt Ford tomorrow being charm personified. The name is Ford ,Matt Ford .madam chair Ding Dong . Keep battling the good guys, up the bees

In the original planning meeting November 2022 the councillors who rejected the proposal were adamant that the affordable housing would be in the wrong place,with little or no local amenities schools must be a factor Binley woods primary school is opposite the stadium but have they the capacity? however high school wise under Warwickshire Bilton or rugby schools must be 7 miles away. coventry wise I don’t know.

Warren hunter is the ex stock car person who indeed is not short of a bob or two. David carter is part of the save Coventry speedway and stock car campaign group. equally looking forward to Matt Ford speak I am sure he will have prepared and be ready to fight his corner.

We have to skewer them with their own BS £13.6m to remove the grandstand that £109k per house how is that viable. hunter did say £51m turnover

Phil morris to be applauded, skewered the opposition ,the decaying sport statement got right under his skin. CVS was quality as well rebutting the argument that wolves have folded because it wasn’t viable. first day goes to the good guys

Best of luck to the campaign group starting Tuesday give those Brandon estates types a 5 -1 in every argument. up the bees

Self employed person maximising his earnings whatever next.

Well its doing well, a shade over £17,000 this evening 19th July ,well on the way to the £20K target

I think Ritchie Hawkins is well good

I am glad not to be the only one, zero entertainment I gave up after 5 races and that was on pause due to the delay.

Condolences to both families I bought my first car off Jim lightfoot a Ford capri. he was smashing bloke he lived not far from Brandon in the countryside near Wolston used to drive by his house on the way to Brandon Saturday nights in the 60s 70 s with my dad. Happy days

Just got to hold on.

Same as most years then

That’s 100% correct. Anyways Happy new year up the Bees

Well this is all good news hopefully. in the planning meeting one off the councillors whilst supporting saving the stadium was concerned it didn’t remain derelict for another number of years. I am sure the campaign group are all over this and this can be of a mutual benefit to speedway stocks and the community . up the bees

Brandon estates Not having a good month are they ,i don’t know what tariffs were available but at least they got rinsed with the court costs. Additionally Coventry uni have plans to install a 3G pitch which weakens any perceived need for one at Brandon. Happy days Up the Bees

That is most definitely correct and I don’t see how Brandon estates get around the loss of the stadium argument. of course they can just sit on it for another decade. hopefully they will get hammered in the courts next week.

Full kudos to SCS team Credit to the gallery Tony Gillias top man the councillors saw through the bullrubbish and voted correctly I know BE will appeal but a unanimous refusal must put them on the back foot at least
