Given that in 2022 Chris Holder had a higher average than Woffinden, Doyle, Bewley and Jack Holder in Poland, and Janowski, Dudek and Lindgren in Sweden I'd suggest he's hardly a spent force.
Denmark moved to Wed and Fri which meant more flexibility. But then Poland expanded the footprint of their weekend fixture list and the Danes retreated back to all Wednesdays.
And if the first leg needs a super heat what is the score for purposes of aggregate bonus point?
And if second leg also requires a superheat do you have one or two superheats?
With only 8 Wednesdays that don't clash with Denmark and 5 non-Wednesday clubs who either have already declared Danes or had Danes last season, I have no idea how anyone believed two home and away was a goer.
1973 - I remember being very impressed by Chlynovsky. So many tape exclusions, and probably my last time watching Ronnie Moore.
1976 - it was the time I was doing my 'o' levels, but it was too important to miss. My excuse - one of them was Russian!
Brandon Estates will appeal. Appeals are dealt with by Planning Inspectorate (professional planners - no democratic involvement). Meanwhile they'll submit another application (the exact nature of it will depend on the precise terms of the reasons for refusal, which they will (pretend to) address.).
Usually with a contentious site the developer will keep plodding away with appeals and new/revised applications for 5 years or more. If council don't look like buckling they'll probably offer some form of planning gain as a carrot.
They are individual human beings. Some will and some won't. Some regard councillors as ignorant amateurs getting in the way of professional planners, others accept they are there to give professional advice to democratically elected representatives. Most will take time to listen to and engage with councillors they respect, and try and remain dilomatically tight lipped with the grandstanding egotistical ones.
