You clearly haven't been for a long long time if you think Poole has a blue groove. Enjoy the racing at Leicester. Worst track in world speedway. Hopefully the Coventry fans won't have to suffer follow the leader for too long.

Of course I think Poole will win it, baring a repeat of injuries at the wrong time. I believe we have the best team.

Last time I went to Leicester I swore I would never set foot in the place again. 15 heats with not one single pass. That won't change unless the track does. I want to see racing not follow the guy in front. Lets hope this Bates chap realises just how bad the track is and gets it sorted before a wheel has turned this season.

Worth starting a Brandon Watch. Sandhu was very quick in getting his workers into the stadium to rip out "his" stuff. Will he be as quick to get his workers back in there to start putting it all back? Or will it be like Swindon with a couple of guys in a hut drinking tea and doing half a days work a month? The clock is ticking. Pressure needs to be asserted to get Brandon back to a usable condition.

Me too. Unlike last year, as long as we stay clear of injuries I think we will have every chance.

It was neither. It had been hinted that someone had been missed out and I assumed, wrongly, that it was Darcy. If It had been, He perhaps could have sought compensation. You read my post completely wrong. Why on earth would anyone glory in speedways problems? Again trying to make something out of a genuine question. Why should I hunt out a press release? One person has said he now owns everything whilst someone else puts it differently. So what is it? So the promoter hasn't made his position clear either. My guess is he is renting, as I doubt Hemsley could have sold up that quickly, even if he had wanted to. Main point though is the club is safe for the time being. Now it needs the fans to come back in numbers decent enough for the place to survive. Hopefully this promoter will do more than just open the gates at 6 pm on a Saturday and actually do what is needed. To get out there and promote!

So does he now own it or is just responsible for it?

Thought you were better than that. If you think for one moment I would glory in the problems of others you don't have a clue about me.

Kyle Newman signed for Pila last year but he didn't get a ride, the promotion sticking with local lads. But good luck to him if he actually gets a chance in a meeting.

Glad to hear Darcy wasn't dumped on. Would have been extremely unfair. Good luck to the new promotion. Lets hope the club get the support it needs to survive and thrive.

So I guess that is Darcy. As he has been humiliated and lost his job as promoter, I should imagine he will sue for some serious compensation.

What has happened? Chapman sold out before a wheel has turned? Darcy quit over Coventry travk sharing? Gets muddier by the minute!

Hemsley has leased the stadium. Any deals would be between the leaseholder, Chapman, and Horton.

Crap facilities? Last time I was at Leicester they had seats in the stand.

Didn't think Sandhu was allowed to have anything to do with a club. Wasn't he banned with Trump back in the day?

Shouldn't think so. The stadium is being leased by Chapman for 15 years. Should imagine the rent will go to him.

Lets hope its nothing too serious and he can start the season.

A very interesting line there Flagrag. Has he bought in to Hortons promotion?

A few thoughts after reading this. So Sandhu and Horton have patched up their differences. So why isn't Sandhu, with immediate effect, making good the vandalism to Brandon his thugs did at the end of last year? So Coventry will ride on Fridays. When are Leicester taking to the track? What about Leicester stadium usage? Does planning permission allow for double the amount of meetings should Coventry not be able to move back? What about Dave Darcy? He was adamant that Coventry would not share with Leicester. What about Brandon estates? Were they part of these intense nogotiations? No point in all these talks if they are going to turn around and say you had your chance we are now not prepared to give anyone a lease. Clearly there's an awful lot to debate and lots more talking to be had. But at least they are coming to tapes in 2017 so that in itself is good news, though you would struggle to believe it by the messages from Coventry fans so far posted. Leicester is a 30 minute car journey. Its literally just up the road and motorway all the way. It couldn't be easier to get to from Brandon. Obviously coaches need to be laid on, free of charge, from Brandon to Leicester every race night. Then there is no excuse for fans to moan. The news could have been far worse and I get the feeling some on here would have liked to have seen this as the end. A couple of other thoughts. Perhaps Leicester season ticket holders can gain entry to Coventry meetings free of charge. Perhaps as a thank you to Leicester, Horton can pay for half the track reshaping desperately needed. Good news for fans, good news for Leicester with extra rent coming in. Now its time for Leicester to announce their team and race night, which I should imagine will be a Saturday night.

Not sure what to make of your post flagrag. Can't see how a serious issue can please some fans at all.

Serious questions need to be asked about the new stadium. If everything is above board then the construction company will be able to say exactly when this kit form stadium is going to start to arrive. As it currently stands about one days work has taken place. These workman are there for no other purpose but to look like something is happening, when in reality they have move a few stones about with some metal railings. This kids no one.

I'll let you know tomorrow.

So how can Darcy say he is the new promoter at Leicester if he hasn't got the money to pay for the lease? Surely before announcing he is the new man he would have all his finances in place? Or is he just a chancer who saw an opportunity and blagged it? I can't believe the BSPA would allow him to get so far without his finances being thoroughly vetted. If he is financially capable and is then pushed aside, he would certainly have a case to seek compensation, unless he was just a puppet promoter employed by Chapman as a front man. It just gets messier by the day. The crap is really about to hit the fan(s).

It can't be called Leicester Bees. That would alienate both sets of fans. If the team is moved to Leicester thats the end of Coventry Bees. Hope that isn't the final scenario. But who would Leicester want in charge? Horton or Darcy?
