Bright with warm sunshine now! Washing now hung out

Persistent rain for the last hour with for half of that time a torrential downpour (approx 2 miles from stadium but heading in that direction) Forecast is dry and warm from here on with potential good sunshine from early evening

5 man teams required then initially until such time as can attract others from around the world back or produce more home grown

The 'Massif' made a big attempt to generate some noise and atmosphere at Foxhall Whilst acknowledged and appreciated by The Presenter very few others showed much enthusiasm and indeed I feel some actively disapproved I haven't been for quite some time now so that element is no longer subjected to my Cowbell and megaphone

The play off dates would be logged in the International calender and priority established accordingly

Legitimate is the relevant word there.....

Harris and Howarth

This would be the type of punter that would attend once and then probably never again I'd say the chances of becoming the desired regular fan would be increased significantly watching Emil as opposed to Simon Unfortunately I accept the cost of attracting more of the Emil type quality is beyond almost all of the current clubs

Looks like we will need 5 man teams with a limit set at around 20 then....

That's what happened with Victor P at Edinburgh - the regs simply state 6 meetings and no longer 3 home/3 away....

So what happens if the sport manages to release "Chris Louis's grip on the current folly" (sic) and we have the rider list outlined in the BV72 example The likes of BV Ippo Sheffield and Leicester will still have better crowds and backing and will hoover up the top 10 of that select band unless there is complete rider control They will also attract the top emerging talent whenever it becomes available The cream will always rise

May as well go completely amateur and make it the "£10 sport" that lots used to spout on about incessantly until recently

Anybody seriously suggesting Simon Lambert is a better option than Emil Sayfutdinov needs to have their medication checked......

And what if their qualification position dictates they get the Monday first leg? Or in the event of another rain off? If they can't commit to run within the set guidelines then they should forfeit the place

No need to be confused Baldbloke Last stint was 6 meetings - 2 home and 4 away Check out the current regs and unlike at that time it is now 6 meetings to achieve a new average and there is no longer the need for a minimum home or away split Therefore if/when he returns it would(should) be on those results......

Lambert is 9.60....

Becker being named at 2 has RR incoming at the last moment written all over it.......

Nice 2013 commemorative honoring designer Christopher Ironside This was originally planned to be the definitive design at the time of decimalisation but was dropped for the Britannia design used until 2008

Just 1 and winners take both points

That's exactly what I was pointing out.....

That was largely dross

No great loss for Oxford - has been a while since he has been able to turn up the heat in Ipswich enough to cause any problem...

I don't disagree with positive aspects of the heat itself - drama,tension and a win on the line Where it is wrong is down to it creating an extra match point which isn't available in other matches

It's a professional sport and needs to act accordingly It may not be the most serious of breaches but once you start letting things slide it becomes thd thin end on the wedge

Also onr of those over 7 was inflated at reserve and then injured giving much better ongoing returns........
