This looks a little bit more hopeful for Coventry and the 'Bees'.

Some (one) of the naysayers should be ashamed of themselves. Folk only want and hope for their  Speedway to return, what is so very wrong with that?

I live in Sunderland and have no skin in the game, but I would love Coventry to return to Speedway.

Up The 'Bees'!!!!!

With crowds down at just about every track in the country , including stock cars, and so few clubs now active what is there left to justify any building of a new stadium to host motorsports ?

While there is life, there is hope.

Apparently there are investors prepared to put their  money in to Coventry Speedway. This has been mentioned before on here. If this is true, then the Supporters of Coventry Speedway and those with the interest in this Sport of Speedway nationally should support 'Bees' Supporters efforts 100% and that is what I am trying to do.

Remember, the Northampton 'Foxes' started from a much lower base than Coventry will, as I believe that there is still a hard core of Coventry Supporters that would support the Club.

Northampton started with next to nothing as far as support is concerned.

Up The 'Bees' !!!

It is very clear that a stadium is the preferred option for the residents, the local authority and the would be owners for this to be a community facility that is led by it's motorsport heritage. All of those parties need to come together to enable a sustainable operation to be permitted, it is not a simple as chucking a Sunday boot sale on the car park. Overall consent needs to open the door of opportunity with the right balance of utilisation it could be a huge success.
