Doubling up has caused a huge amount of damage... It started off controlled with two UK riders max per team.. Then, before we knew it, almost every member of each team had a minimum of two clubs.. Sam Masters a few years ago actually spent a couple of months being No1 in the averages of both leagues!!!  Imagine trying to markef fhat? When riders rode for one team, and got injured, by the time their next meeting came around they often had enough time to get well, or, if not a guest was used if the rider was of a certain level.. Now, many riders of any level getting injured on a Monday could miss Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday matches in Div 2... Meaning guest after guest to replace them.. Complete nonsense...

Thank you for letting me know. I missed the posting. A good age though! RIP John

With Birmingham operating RR for Rew who is riding in Poland I cannot see the Brummies getting within 20 points of Sheffield.

Very little housing in the immediate area and mostly industrial. As stated, a massive Viridor site on the doorstep so the Council won't care what goes there as long as there palm is greased. Certainly unlike other locations if the Go-Kart company owns the freehold there is next to zero chance anybody would want to put housing there with a waste refuse site next door. Would only be a company looking to put more industrial or logistics sites.  It could be a simple set up like Workington and have a chance - tram line 5 min walk away. So has transport access 

Parsloes certainly is.  Less likely Speedyguy is     

Sun is baking down here this afternoon. Good luck to the track staff in keeping the moisture in. Should imagine they will be watering all day and throughout the meeting. Currently 27c. In Christchurch.
