Wasn't there supposed to be an announcement last week confirming the sale and who too?

Or did I miss something?

I very much doubt that it will turn out to be our owners. If it was they would be shouting it from the rooftops by now.

Dennis Mortimer sale...if I remember right, people returned their season tickets. It was very gutting at the time.

Even more so when he became their captain won the league and the European Cup.

Listening to the match on the Sunday, Beardy Linnell seemed to think that had the club bought Brandon we would have known by now.

Also the site was not big enough for our plans.

I would not be surprised if a "sisu investor" was involved in the sale though, good sized bit of land..... Perhaps taking a punt that planning applications for houses will be viewed upon favourably by central govt.

My gut feeling from spending most of my life working for major house builder's is that one will buy the site and add it to it's land bank and then sit on it until it looses it's green belt status. Much of Milton Keynes was acquired this way. Some sites were bought decades before application was even made while the city limits encroached on it. Most of the time it was farm land that was then pepper corn rented back until building was consented to.

Thats probably the best hope for Stox and Speedway, as I cant see them finding a new venue within 3 years they currently have.

I know, empty stadiums are hard to come by.

Not as hard to come by as land in the "Coventry area" to build another empty stadium ;-)

Winston Churchill once described golf as a game that "ruins a good walk"

It was also on this day in 1946 that he coined the phrase "the Iron Curtain", pretty apt given what's going on in Crimea.

If Churchill did say it, he nicked it from Mark Twain ;-)

Or as GK Chesterton said "an expensive way of playing marbles."
