Re Rory: Yesterday -"1st steps doctors say I'm on track, had another ct scan and all 8 screws doing their job it felt weird as hell"
Today - "2nd walk completed today that was tough work 3 meters yesterday 5 meters today keep smashing my target"
Only a few weeks ago I took this photo of a happier "Roo-boy" in the pits at Brandon

From another forum:
The 'Save Coventry Speedway' campaign was started in September 2014 after the announcement that plans were being prepared for the building of housing at Coventry Stadium in Brandon, which has staged speedway since 1928. It was also announced that motor sports at the stadium, one of the country's finest and best loved motor sport venues, would cease at the end of the 2016 season.
Supporters were assured that a new stadium would be built in the a Coventry area before the existing one was 'levelled' but we have had no news of any developments in regard to locating land for a new stadium, nor any progression of housing plans on the exiting site, or any announcement of a change of plan at Brandon.
This meeting is called to put the future of both speedway and stock car racing firmly back on the agenda with urgency and the 'Save Coventry Speedway' campaign will be inviting key representatives from the stadium, the council and the promoters of both motor sports to speak at this meeting to enlighten concerned fans. It is also hoped that a fund will be set up to ensure that the interests of the racing community with its long and rich heritage can be properly represented.
We are all aiming for the same thing - the preservation and prosperity of our beloved sports. So it's time we came together with common purpose.
8-10pm Binley Woods Village Hall. Thursday July 23rd.
Local residents, speedway and stock car fans all welcome! |

Hi all & Hi Midland Red
I have just learnt that the information that you posted for the Binley Woods village hall meetings, regards the stadium future was ACE. It was a forum reader who advised those concerned, the fact that the meetings were taking place.
That is Brill, Brill & Brill. Our forum has been recognised. |

Last Friday, at Brandon, fans saw one of the world's top riders, Darcy Ward, in action for Swindon against Bees
Less than 48 hours later, Darcy was involved in a nasty incident in Poland - here is news from the SGP site
Despite often making the headlines for his off-track behaviour, Darcy is a truly special talent on a speedway bike, and I'm sure all Bees fans will want to join me in wishing for better news in the coming days, and hoping for an improvement in his medical condition from these early reports
At times like this, the speedway family always comes together, and other problems in the sport pale into insignificance |
