Funny how we say Brandon speedway. I thought it was Coventry Speedway?

Absolutely no chance as far as I can see.
Took two years to get PP for a small extension (garage conversion and new garage) on the side of my house when I lived in Binley Woods. When I lived in Stretton On Dunsmore it took several months for a decision on a sloping roof on my porch. Change is not accepted very often round there!
As stated by others the roads are bad enough when the Bees are at home. Times that by 5/6 for a League one game. As big as the car park is it still wouldn't be adequate. I've heard rumblings of a possible link road to the 46. Can't see that as there are several dozen listed trees in the way. Also judging by the last effort to build a road nearby it's not the best idea. RBC majorly messed up the RWRR. Came in at double it's budget and years late.

Where you went wrong with the PP though is you failed to include tiered seeting, had you done this they would have approved it straight away.
the players think its rugby towns ground

Only in recent times, was always the Brandon Bees in the past.
I'm not disagreeing. I used to go in the 70s and 80s myself - big Gary Gug fan me - I'm just saying the team has never been in Coventry.
The players probably know as much as us

There was Speedway racing at Lythalls Lane but it was way back when, from 1928-1936. The stadium then converted to greyhound racing in 1937 and remained as such until 1963 when it closed. Some time after that it was demolished and built on.
I think Speedway started at Brandon in 1930 but i'd need to check that. There also used to be Speedway at Stoneleigh on the site of what is now Stoneleigh Park/National Agricultural Centre.

When I was a Lad Torch, and you could get the best seats at the"Pictures" for a shilling, they were Known as the "Brandon Bees"
Yeah, I know, I used to go to. They were "known" as the Brandon Bees because they weren't in Coventry. However, officially they were Coventry, weren't they? They are Coventry's speedway team, not Brandon's.
