Read the last but one paragraph above?

In any case, the new Labour government says that it will increase house building and simplify planning permission ... and guess what a 'brownfield site' is?

They might do better to encourage more MDL/NDL teams!

It is fairly obvious that there is a lack of leadership somewhere. At the last match, the Brummies riders seemed de-motivated, unlike the Oxford team who were much more determined.

I take leave to doubt this. He last rode for us several years ago, in the Championship.

Cold? He's a Russian ...

Why? he is hardly better than riders we have already got.

He and Flint did so at the home match last week.

Seems like it!

What makes you say that? Brennan is more likely to stay at No.5; he is the next best rider after Lindgren. Lampart at 2?

Checking on Google Maps, Grays is about 30 miles from Rye House; but the Rye speedway track is still there!

What's happened to Paul Bowen?

History: Wolves, Birmingham and Cradley have been there for many years, back to the pre-war days when there were enough fans to go around!

It's a law of TV: they've got to have a bimbo.

Isn't the No. 8 there to take some of the R/R rides, not as an extra reserve?

Will there be a stream for this match?

Apparently it is not allowed to have a rider take four rides in succession.

Having said that, Perry Barr isn't a difficult track to ride; ask Emil ...

Bit hard on Batch, Siggy, as he was the second highest scorer for Ippo ... As for the Brummies, they have a very hard choice to make. Sedgey beat Emil fair and square on Monday, Lampart more than proved himself, Pawlicki could well come good, as you say, Cook will also.

I would say that Lampart proved himself at the Ipswich match, scoring 10+1.

What isn't, these days?

The rider who could overtake Sayfutdinov? He is holding that position down.

Come, come, I know that you will be bitter about being beaten by the team which the usual suspects claimed would never win a match ... but I still think that the guests did as well as two of the injured riders. Still, each to his own.

It wasn't particularly understrength - ask Ipswich - but very inconsistent. And with Lindgren, it isn't now. And last night, the stadium was packed out.

Although, apart from the Rusk, Ippo's guests were the most dangerous; I don't think that King and Ellis would have done much better. Having said that, probably Doyle would have done more in Heats 15 and 16, though it was obvious that the Brummies riders were letting Emil go and team riding Klindt out.
