Rumours are rife that Brandon Stadium is being stripped bare . Floodlights gone, shale been removed from the track. Seats being removed from stands, All catering and bar facilities been removed . This is very concerning if true. I hope it's just rumours mucker, sad if true Pictures on Twitter and Facebook pages Save Coventry Speedway . No floodlights only the poles standing. Cherry pickers at stadium. Digger on track ? Mick Horton in the States on holiday. Also rumours that he hasnt signed the new lease but if thats the case why would the stadium owners release a statement saying it was. Meant to be a statement on Monday. Might just go and have a look myself tomorrow to see what the truth is ?

Would be news to Mr Horton, sat 26th, the team 1-7 has been named though could you read something into the whole team looks like DU riders ?

Unfortunately its all true. Seating gone in the area where you overlook the pit area. Floodlights gone in the car park (not that they worked), floodlights gone around the track except the back straight. Air conditioning gone. Track down to the base. Metal barrier around the track gone. Will try and post pictures up in a while. It looks like a shell of what it used to look like.

This is either a complete overall of the stadium or it's the end but doesn't make sense. Why upgrade a Stadium if it's going to be gone in three years ( if that long ) ?? Why name a complete team if the Bees have no stadium to ride in unless they are planning on track sharing CONFUSED.COM

Hope the Bees are running next season. But is it more than a coincidence it's happening when Horton is away on holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Horton : 'need to see damage first hand before a decision can be made'
'Speedway still holds the lease for next year'
