I don't know tbh. I thought i read that Ford would consider being a promoter if they came back, but that was a while ago now.

I might be wrong but I think Ford was being touted as the promoter of the Bees, not sure he was/is investing in the project

Matt Ford spoke at the Coventry Stadium appeal.  Brandon Estates brought in the odious Clarke Osborne to say that Speedway was dead and no one would want to promote speedway at Brandon if it was restored to former glories.

Matt Ford spoke in opposition to say he ran a successful promotion at Poole, he knows Coventry is viable, and he would be interested in promoting Coventry.  Whether his remit was just to testify that speedway is viable, and Coventry would be viable, or whether he is actually seriously interested in Coventry, probably only he knows.      However he's not involved in Northampton.

As different names are mentioned for the promotion, surely it must be a current/recent person involved as they would probably need to be a VISA sponsor or whatever is needed for foreign riders🤷‍♂️. Just a thought

Not sure where you've got your figures from but Mark Webber, while he has plenty of contacts within motorsport (and is a current Porsche ambassador), is not worth hundreds of millions.

Whoops my bad just checked I would have thought he would have earned way more out of f1 , Flagrag is normally on the money he seems to think the new owner/s are well financed and have some big sponsorship lined up

I saw him on Sunday, he was the last person I would of thought 

I think he might be the first person you think of. Then add a couple of likely - or perhaps unlikely - lads already involved in speedway and you’re getting there
