I was going to mention Sarj being far too low, considering he was a 2nd string in the PL and occasionally EL last year. I know it's about opinions but statistically he's better than that probably 5th?
It why I've suggested the Save Cov speedway group run it. To be honest I'd like to keep it as the NSSC run it helping youngsters as it's what sets us apart from some other clubs. We as fans can surely find other ways of raising money. I wouldn't trust Horton with my donation either.
I hope the 50/50 will revert back. No point having a 50/50 with a stadium fund if fans don't want it, it will achieve nothing. Both sides (Horton and Sandhu) should just let fans raise money whichever way we wish. We are already having a big change in going to Leicester let's just keep every thing else the same. Time for us fans to start thinking of ways to get back to (near) Coventry with Save Cov Speedway leading the way.
Not sure there was ever a proposal for that was there? I do remember they asked if we knew of houses for sale locally, surely a Google search would've done.
Something about a stadium fund. We can raise money in other ways for a stadium fund but the 50/50 must stay. Also if there is to be a fund it must be run by members of the Save cov speedway group and not just one person.
As for the sponsors one of the local coach companies should be contacted especially as the club will need to use one this season. Might give fans very cheap travel.
So let's stop giving fans who were never going to go to PK farewell a chance to attend a meeting elsewhere. It's not like the track are close either, must be near 100 miles apart. PK farewell will attract a big crowd anyway and rightly so, I don't think that a track 100 miles away running a meeting will have an effect.
Supporters can choose. No one complains when other riders had a testimonial then other meetings are arranged on the same date. It happens, it's always happened. On the day of Chris Harris testimonial, Scunthorpe had a meeting no one said they shouldn't run a meeting because it clashed.
As I said on the Havvy testimonial v ELRC debate a few years ago, Speedway shouldn't stop for a day for any rider. Of course PK deserves one but it shouldn't mean speedway in the UK stop for him.
Yep convenient but possibly not the way you think it is.
Unless of course you wanted to buy it with the seller not knowing who the actual people involved are.
It seems that Brandon Estates never originally wanted Sandhu involved with the site for whatever reason hence he took the fixture and fittings and Horton having to negotiate a new lease instead of Sandhu extending one. This is possibly why Horton didnt sign the lease as he needed Sandhu to help finance it and needed the fixture and fittings obviously. If Horton did sign the lease i don't think anything would be any different. I used to have an open mind about this but I don't think him or his family are Brandon Estates from what I've been told.
