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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheBoards Posted March 5 Author Report Share Posted March 5 22 minutes ago, noaksey said: 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 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🤷♂️.

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
