Im sure i remember years ago when Smart and Lobb got caught, Smart held his hands up and admitted it and Lobb refused a second test for a while therefore got a longer ban?

The potential planning development for Perry Barr has been picked up by the Birmingham Mail now :-

Reading the comments speedway needs to distance itself from animal sports. It will only end one way if speedway remains a tenant of greyhounds.

I think we are now down to six tracks shared with greyhounds. Four of those are under threat (Monmore, Perry Barr and Armadale, and Sheffield), leaving just two where the sports still seem to co-exist Kevin Boothby owned Oxford and Mildenhall

Don't think there are dogs at Armadale any more. 

The problem is potential housebuilding.

Makes sense. No different to a criminal court. If you admit your guilt you’ll get a more lenient sentence for honesty (and saving time and expense on hearings, admin etc). 

As for second tests in this case, both samples need to be taken at the same time for the testing process to maintain integrity.

There were plenty of comments like that in the local rag in Swindon and we know how that panned out New stadium Dogs only

So on BSN tonight is was stated that if Brum make the playoffs, they are looking at bringing in a rider who would turn them into title favourites. 

So who are they talking to? And what rider could turn them into a team that could beat Poole over two legs? Not even Zmarzlik could manage that!

They also said Bowtell would be getting 7 rides. How well has that worked out?

It'd need to be either Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White, together with his war chest of wonderous wizardry.

To give an idea of the scale of the problem that this one signing would have to solve, a quick reminder of today's score...Scunthorpe 51, Brummies 25 + Guest 14.
