The first may prove an insurmountable problem, but I can't see where the second is a problem. Local authorities (excepting Swale?) could not reasonably refuse a change of race night unless there was a significant increased in the number of meetings, and I don't think that is being suggested. Are you assuming Sittingbourne will be in the Elite League, or have you identified a specific issue somewhere else?

Simon Wigg (Dutch?), Andy Smith (Polish) and Marvyn Cox (German) all did for a variety of reasons.

And Jeremy Doncaster?

Rule 210 (Foul or Dangerous Riding) - it is in the 1977 rulebook, but gone by 1982 the next copy I have. "A rider turning his head to look backwards may be warned and for a repetition of the offence may be excluded." Edit: Looks like Alan Jones beat me to it!

It's still plodding on. Supplementary applications on reserved matters (particularly drainage) were still being submitted as recently as two weeks ago. Consultation period has closed and reading responses doesn't look problematic. Now it is up to planning officers to assess the application. http://pa1.swindon.gov.uk/publicaccess/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=O0L5L7PTG2I00

I think I may have a spare, I'll check later on today.

First time I saw him was in a European under 19 Team event - notable scorers were: Mikkel Bech 12, Mikkel Mikkelsen 12, Jacob Thorsell 10, the entire might of Team GB 13, and Kai Huckenbeck 12. Think he has all the potential, how he adapts to racing in Britain is anyone's guess.

I thought one of the most interesting comments from last Sunday's fans forum were the very robust statements from Buster to the effect that there were no clubs in financial difficulties. Someone picked him up on this and turned to Rob Godfrey who was sitting next to Buster and reminded Rob that he said Scunny might close midway through last season. In effect Rob's answer was 'I was a bit pissed off at the time'

I think Buster made it pretty clear he wasn't looking to sign a number 8 at yesterday's fans forum.

What Buster said: "I'd love that to happen it would be the best thing ever to go two race nights but I just really think it would be very very difficult to make it happen"

I'd hazard a guess at less than people expect. There may be some restrictions on lesser Poles/Danes/Swedes etc riding in the British leagues but I suspect that post Brexit restrictions on EU workers will largely focus on unskilled workers and may have minimal impact on our sport. Secondly, if you believe Goldman Sachs (and I rarely do), Brexit will lead to devaluation of sterling. If (and it is a big if) that were to happen then we could be faced with several foreign riders leaving the EL/PL (as happened during the economic crisis of 1976).

Some of Buster's answers were quite long - it is entirely possible that Buster made both statements.

Cleancut Sports Elite League it is then.

Attendance about 50 fans. Duration over three hours. Panel: Tony Gillias, Ged Rathbone, Buster Chapman, Rob Godfrey, Martin Widman, Neil Watson Cleancut were recording so it should go up on the BSPA website (edited I'd imagine)

Fixed race nights not practical according to Buster Chapman at the forum today. Which begs the question why did KL move to Thursdays?

Kai Huckenbeck Jonas Andersson Jonas Jeppesen Krystian Rempala (I assume Maxim Drabik and work permit riders wouldn't be eligible)

Correct - in 2008

Most absences are due to injury not fixture clashes. It would be very optimistic to imagine that they will not crop up at some point during the season, so making provision for a number 8 still seems like a wise precaution.

Here are 13 Danes I would sign before Bukhave (with their Danish League One average) – all made at least one SuperLigan appearance so would come in on 7.00. Jesper Sogaard 9.83 (age 27 – his DSL average is higher than Thomas Jorgensen and Jonas B Andersen) Johannes Kikkenborg 9.79 (age 25 – his DSL average is higher than Thomas Jorgensen and Jonas B Andersen) Jonas Jeppesen 8.99 (only 18, first season on 500cc my number one choice by a mile) Kenni Nissen 8.63 Jonas Jensen 8.13 Jason Jorgensen 8.05 (only 17, first season on 500cc) Jesper Scharff 7.91 Frederik Jakobsen 7.78 Sam Jensen 7.66 Mikkel B Andersen 7.62 (brother of Jonas) Andreas Lyager Hansen 7.57 (rode 4 matches for Scunny in 2015 averaging 4.00) Jason Bukhave 7.33 Plus these two riders who averaged less than Bukhave but are younger and in my view have more potential: Martin Steen Hansen 7.05 Patrick Hansen 6.98 Currently better than all of these is Rasmus Jensen (PL average 5.92), ranking behind all of these is Rye House signing Peter Karger.

Representations by e-mail are fine (the majority are made by e-mail)

Step one is to decide what this is attempting to achieve. Is it enticing top line riders back? Or Eliminating clashes for doubling up riders? Step two: establish whether PL teams are willing to change race nights to accommodate the EL, and how much flexibility EL teams that are tenants have. Only then can you have a meaningful discussion about racedays. Other issues to consider: * How does this fit in with Sky's broadcasting plans? * Will there even be enough teams to make the EL viable?

Unless it is listed (which is why that became an issue at Oxford) demolition does not require planning permission. The problem for any property developer is that as you point out considerably smaller developments have been turned down because of lack of road infrastructure. My guess is that any prospective developers will get permission only when they provide a large contribution towards upgrading the road network.

The guardian is asking for recollections of Walthamstow greyhound Stadium at http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/feb/12/all-lit-up-share-your-photos-and-memories-of-walthamstow-stadium Maybe they need to be reminded that it wasn't just dogs at the stadium.

However most guests are as a result of injury and can't be avoided. If the EL run on Fridays there will be more guests unless the PL clubs who race on that day change their race night or (and this is highly speculative) enough riders return to the EL to significantly reduce doubling up.
