More photos on the link in the previous post show seats removed from the stand and air conditioning "ripped out"
How all this stacks up with the announcement of the 2017 team is a BIG mystery |

From Cllr Michael Stokes FB:
Brandon Stadium Statement
Following the issues over the last few days, I again offered to facilitate talks between the interested parties. I am pleased to say that both Mr Sandhu and Mr Horton were both very receptive to holding further discussions and engaged fully.
This has been a very difficult and complicated situation and neither Sandhu or Horton own the land and there were some legalities at play around the end of leases. Of course the actions over the last few days have been concerning to local residents and fans and have been widely reported on social media and in the local news outlets. However, after listening fully to both sides, it was seen as a necessary step in order to protect the assets. I am confident this was neither a negotiating tactic or an act of spite.
Talks were difficult and went on well into the night. Both Sandhu and Horton have a clear passion for motorsport and Brandon Stadium and through this passion both parties were able to overcome the contractual issues.
Therefore, I am very pleased to say I was able to successfully facilitate talks that led to an agreement being reached by both parties. Mr Sandhu has agreed to put the stadium back to an operational state and both Stockcars and The Bees will be racing at the stadium in 2017.
I would now call upon all the fans and supporters to rally round your teams and show your support in 2017. This is an exceptional reprieve and an opportunity that should not be wasted. |

Very sad events but it looks more like a civil matter, what's in a contract etc, is he entitled to remove these specific items.
For speedway to remain in or near Coventry, it's Brandon or nothing, zero chance of finding a replacement stadium, funds and planning being the biggest obstacles.
Sad times indeed. |

All the fancy words being used to describe the state of Coventry Stadium, there's only one word needed - sabotage - for what ever reason. |
