Wind yer neck in Won't wind my neck in cheers, it's a forum to give opinions As for the West Brom players, every book available should have been thrown at them for that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too long ago (about 5 years) I watched a video of a speedway rider riding a bmx down some stairs, in a house... There was others riders there, all jovial and that,,, not sure which one it was, or if it was before either of them had broke their leg,,, but am sure Diamonds fans know what I mean Yes, I know who were involved as well. If you remember they had placed a mattress against the facing wall and they certainly needed it. The same crew got a canoe attached to the back of a Transit and rode around the streets in the West End at night as if it was a sledge. CRAZY.

At the risk of being - for the second time today - uncharacteristically cynical, since when did precedent have anything to do with speedway ? I suspect, however, that on this occasion you might - and should - be right. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe, if Josh was to say he was sledging as say, part of his fitness campaign (instead of jogging, say),,, there may be a case ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
