Whilst terrible news for Riss who I very much enjoy watching, why was he announced before a proper fitness test?
Surely the change should be reversed, as they have a replacement already there for him?
If a guest facility is now in place, with a higher average, it will only cause more questions about rule manipulation
If I was lucky enough to be in a position to build a track/club from scratch (with some very deep pockets) the first thing I'd be doing is following the Industry Hills model in the US where the track is essentially in a giant open sided warehouse. No rain offs to worry about.
Then it would need to be big enough to facilitate 7 aside 4g football pitches, possibly a gym attached. You could run event's/summer/Christmas festivals etc there
Making the track suitable for other disciplines such as flat track would also be a must.
Because the vast majority of tracks in the UK have been around so long there isn't the infrastructure there to build upon to diversify.
The stark difference in the infrastructure at Leicester to Belle Vue who were only built 4/5 years apart is more than evident
If he was switched on enough and had a life changing opportunity on the plate, he probably should have kept it in his pants for a few hours!
Or as stories seem to differ, seek permission/advise of a potential delay to arriving home due to an opportunity of employment. Not rocket science is it
There was a shovel incident with Stoney and Anders but that was at Sheffield in the PLRC.
I can remember something in a Mavericks meeting but I thought it was a broom? No idea who though.
Some great ones there - Scotty also put his bike under the ambulance at Stoke giving it too much up the hill back to the pits after a fall in the race.
That Will Beverage and Mick Powell incident was a shocker, ruined his career.
