Sir Sidney

I've e-mailed my message of support to the Mayor of London and to the leader of Merton Council. Let's see what happens on 11th. As Arthur Cross quite rightly points out Risk / Galliard will not necesarially implement the Council's preferred option.

Well I must admit I'm with Gustix on this. I shall be very glad to have the opportunity to debate how Wimbledon might do, having not had the option to do so for a number of years. Whilst I'm glad that it is still possible to have a side that features some riders with genuine Dons connections I wouldn't have been overly concerned if the side hadn't. If Mr Taggart or any other person buys Plough Lane and speedway returns I'll support whatever team is put out - and I doubt there will be too many connections to previous Dons riders at that point! I'm sure the Kent promoters have tried to put together a Wimbledon side that they think will be competetive, but will lead to a Kent win - that would seem a sound business decision as one sided challenge matches don't usually please anyone. I hope they have got the balance slightly wrong and Wimbledon win.

Or how many points the Dons may win by!

Dons riding at Kent on 12 August, with at least some riders with genuine Dons connections (Andre Cross, Chris Mills, Chris Schramm reported elsewhere). Keeps the profile up and I think assists when we write to the politicians. Lets hope Mr Taggart can persuade RCP to sell him the stadium and land - still the biggest obstacle to a return to Plough Lane

A glimmer of hope - still need RCP to sell the site, but a step in the right direction
