I'm beginning to wonder if this decision was made based on the turnout for the Leicester v Bees challenge match in September last year. I will remain pessimistic I'm afraid, cannot see it lasting at all. Especially with the rumoured news of the arson attacks on Brandon stadium
-
The fact no news has been posted yet for the new season speaks volumes. Starting to think even this won't happen now. I miss Brandon.

Mick Horton, Avtar Sandhu, Jeremy Heaver, Neil Watson. On behalf on every supporter of Coventry Bees, thank you for feeding us bullrubbish for the past three months. I cannot believe I have had to sit and watch my club be completely torn apart and die a slow and painful death. A club full of rich history and dignity and you pair of twonks have reduced that, and the reputation, to dust. Coventry won't be remembered for the glory years, they won't be remembered for the treble winning year of 2007. Instead, they will be remembered because of a stadium being trashed and a promotor that couldn't even give us a word. Hiding your head in sand in circumstances like this and leaving your supporters in limbo for months is a disgrace. R.I.P Coventry Bees, thank you for all the great memories you have given me.

i genuinely believe we are being put in this situation to soften the blow when they bulldoze the stadium. The constant hokey cokey of whether we are riding next season, the fact no official statement was made by the Speedway promotion, and the genuine uneasiness all of us fans are feeling. I genuinely believe this is being done so the fans are like 'whatever just do it already'. I don't think we're gonna see another meeting at Brandon. It's all very well and good saying they're replacing the features, but all we have are words. I'm sick of the constant lies from all parties. Either put us out of our misery, or sort your petty arguments out once and for all. Cannot believe the reputation of Coventry Bees has sunk this low.

honestly what is the friggin point anymore

Fantastic news however I'm remaining sceptical until March. Feels like I'm on an emotional roller coaster here... Thank god they've sorted their sh*t out somewhat. Now let's see how much sandhu actually puts back in...
-
Sadly that does seem the only option we have left but will the fans travel? :/

The feelings in my heart right now are of sorrow and anger. Sorrow because my whole childhood is being erased in front of my eyes, and the great history of Coventry Bees being left on this final note. Anger because regardless of who is at fault as I believe there is more to this than is being shown by both sides. I have been very vocal about Mick Horton in the past but if this is true what is being reported then there aren't enough words I can say about how much of a class A t*t he really is. I'm completely heartbroken, I grew up with Coventry when we were in the glory years of 05-10 and to see it end the way it has is devastating. I can't imagine what you guys who have supported them for many more years than myself must be feeling. However I do not believe we will see another meeting at Coventry ever again. Convenient that Leicester hasn't signed one rider - for the riders' sakes get them signed up for f*ck sake. If (and I believe it will be) this really is the end of the Bees, then our next step is to fight for a new stadium. We are a strong fan base, we need to stick together.

Nothing we weren't all expecting then. Completely heartbroken 💔

Kylmakorpi wanted his flights paying to and from Andorra! As much as I'd love to see him I can see why we haven't got him!
-
Just wait until Monday for the Stox statement and also Horton is back in U.K. on Wednesday so don't be expecting a statement until then at the earliest. Let's agree on one thing and that's that we hope it isn't as bad as it looks.
-
There is photo evidence all over the Facebook group. Does not look good at all.
-
Decent start. Lasse, Schlein and Bates next to be announced? Wouldn't touch Sarjeant or Woryna and would rather spent Garrity's points on another signing as I don't think he's worth that average unfortunately.

What is the actual point in him 'saving' the club for next year when he's pulling stunts like this? If this is happening now, it doesn't show much hope for next year. Particularly if staff have had their keys taken away. Perhaps the BSPA best think about moving the ELRC (again...) 🙄
-
What an absolute embarrassment of a club this has become.
-
So pleased but surely we will be stuck in the same position next year. Very happy it's not quite the end though Giving credit to Mick for achieving this.

Coventry V Belle Vue 22/07/2016
TheSmiler replied to Woz01's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Not really sure what to say anymore to be honest. We all know where the team stands. Nobody likes losing but even I can't keep 'moaning' anymore, it's just fallen into a state of 'oh well whatever'. Sadly that's the attitude Mick Horton has had all season long. Anyway, well done to the Aces. I really am rooting for you guys this season. Go get em boys. -

What a complete waste of time for everyone involved. I really do feel for the poor fans - if there is indeed any left :/ -

What a disgraceful way to treat your paying supporters. -
Poole Pirates Vs Coventry Bees 20/7/16 Elite B
TheSmiler replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
What is the point in signing Mads when we have no chance of the play offs anyway now? A change should have been made months ago. Complete and utter embarrassment yet again tonight. If this is our last season then what a cop out. We are literally a one man team with KK tonight. At least he's having a good season. Good to see, really hope he makes it into the GPs again. Class rider.
