What do you imagine Mr Ford owns at Poole Speedway that he can sell for millions ?

Eternal Father strong to save ?

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.

It didn't look much like Asda to me . Not sure who's car park it was TBH but there was very Lidl passing from what I saw .

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.

What !!!! Hortons financial adviser bankrupt, well I never.

Yet despite all of this there are still bees fans who cant/won't see anything wrong with the guy

I'm not sure if you heard Heavers radio interview , he clearly stated that they agreed several deals with Horton only for him to renege on each one later on. Doesn't sound like he has been holding anyone to ransom here.

Perhaps, given what Jeremy Heaver said tonight it was considered that "the shock tactic" was the only option left. It would appear that more talks are taking place now so you never know it might just bring a solution. Then in the bigger scheme of things a load of new seats would be a small price to pay. Another point is that if a deal is not concluded Hortons biggest concern would not be missing seats, more likely lights , safety fence, track equipment would be uppermost in his mind. However I understand that many fans have preconceived ideas and that's their choice.

They were never going to walk away and leave anything that that hadn't been sold with the stadium. If Horton signs an agreement tonight he will get all new seats and bar fittings. Sounds like a deal to me.

I think he got the message across despite the interruption .For those who were prepared to listen and digest of course.

The bottom line here is , 1 Sandhu's has to be out of the stadium by tomorrow 30th. 2 In order to run his stocks he needs an agreement with Horton. 3 In order for Horton to run the speedway he needs an agreement with Sandhu for the use of fixtures and fittings. 4 Intense negotiation has been taking place and Horton knew the deadlines. 5 No agreement was forthcoming so Sandhu has cleared his property out. 6 No right minded person would deal with the situation any other way. IMO.

Found on a stock car forum , posted yesterday. If accurate it might go some way to indicating why Sandhu is taking his current stance.............. I really do think fans should not question the honesty of Sandhu or Jeremy - over the past twelve months there has been some very hard negotiating in good faith - this good faith has been most disappointingly abused by the major leaseholder of the stadium from the 1st January. Procrastination and prevarication has left Sandhu with no alternative but to safeguard his interests by removing his possessions from the stadium. It is not Philip Green I am referring to but to add insult to injury the leaseholder offered Sandhu £1 for his fixtures, fittings and furniture. Please wait for the statement before making judgemental statements.
