I think "the stadium fund" is 21st century speak for the pocket in the rear of Mr Horton's trousers.
-
To add insult to injury the same guy is still involved with another club, although I think there is at least one stadium that he's not allowed to enter as he owes them too allegedly.
-
You will be telling us next that the 2010 dispute was all Sandhu's doing.
-
Ah yes the famous winter of discontent. The time when the most fans agree that the sport took a massive turn for the worse. Proven by the current situation the sport finds itself in, yet you think it should be all forgotten. Well I've got news for you , it won't be.

Oh, The alleged house builder who could blow Ford out of the water with finance, who knew how to promote his team, and played by the same rule book that Ford is still using . The very same person that got shafted big time ( twice) by your Mr Ford because he didn't want anyone around that might threaten his mission for supremacy.

Selective memory in overdrive? Think back to 2010, he didn't seem to welcome the type of person you describe too well in those days.

The Premiership Cake Shop

I'm getting a little suspicious of these premiership cakes. I realise they all have different names, but I also know for a fact that two of them come from the same place. -
I don't understand the fuss about Sandhu forcing Martin O & his mother out. Anyone who has been around a while will have seen this type of situation in everyday business. Someone buys out a company, when public announcement is made it invariably includes the words " So & So the previous owner will be continuing as director of the new company" , all intended to keep the existing customers sweet. A few months later when the new owner has his feet under the table the former owner is eased out. The practise has been going on for for years, no big deal really.

The Premiership Cake Shop
Dave Jones replied to BurntFaceMan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Back in the early 60's I regularly saw advertising posters for Coventry Speedway in towns as far away as 40miles from Brandon. The posters were changed each week to advertise the next team to visit ,and even included a list of half a dozen or so riders who would be appearing. How times change, not only have the posters disappeared , but quite often fans turn up to meetings without knowing who's in their team. -
I think you need to make up your mind. Just yesterday you were telling us that Sandhu is Brandon Estates,now you are telling us they wouldn't want him operating the stadium. Which Is it!!!

I don't think anyone will frown upon pooles success, only the manner in which it is achieved.
-
Never going to happen. All the riders would be complaining about the water jump being too wet.
-
Is that the article dated 30th Nov? Things have happened since then.

Fiddling while Rome burns?

The riders will still be able to alter the " set ups" I'm sure. The bits like carb and ignition changes etc will still be possible on a" sealed engine", the parts that will not be accessible are the engine internals, and that's where the big money goes. We are assuming of course that the method of sealing the engine is foolproof.

Forums and are for posting opinions. I will post mine if you don't like it then tough
-
It's not "fanning the flames". A comment from Horton is required, and should have been on the club website early today.
-
In my opinion he has a duty to make some sort of comment , if for no other reason than to show respect to the parties involved in the negotiations.
-
When can expect a comment from the speedway promoter I wonder.
-
I hope they can see their respective backs to scratch in that very dark room.

I think mrcts is still living in the1980's. He probably thinks the CO is still in charge at Brandon & imagines it's payback time.
