Perhaps we shouldn't be too hard on our attendances, Birmingham City yesterday, 2nd in the Championship, 16,735.

Just read the Independant, he says he's left to manage a real premiership club:p

I don't think so, Lowe and Wilde are desperate for us not to go into administration or they will lose all the value of their shares (which is a considerable amount of money), hence the desperate measures we are seeing on a weekly basis to try and keep the club solvent. I have to assume that they are waiting for someone to turn up and buy them out or for an upturn in our performances to generate a profit, both options seem unlikely, I don't think the club is worth the amount of money that Lowe and Wilde would be asking for and without investment our performances are unlikely to improve. My prefered option would have been to go into administration at the end of last season, take the penalty points and get relegated and then start again with a fresh board, would be a bitter pill to swallow but I think would allow us to return to some kind of decent football club much more quickly.

Ah yes Baj, quite fancied bike racing so decided to do some track days, no matter I quite fancied myself as fast on the roads and on numpty track days I did OK, then I went on a track day where there were a few club racers, oh dear couldn't raise my game so spent a fortune on track days believing I'd get quick, turns out I was ****e all along just a dreamer. Knew a few sidecar racers so gave it a go, the driver has the job of opening the throttle and going quick I get the job of finding grip and stopping it turning over:rolleyes: Pretty good fun it is too but you never know what's going to happen so you have to keep alert. Nice video clip, looks faster than I recall, who's that all locked up smoke everywhere?

Ah my wife, daughter, friends were there, think I may have seen you then, there was someone else thought they were waving with both arms, sure I waved back, should have come over and said hello, always got the kettle on.

Yes a good days racing. Finished 3rd and 4th on the track but that was 2 wins in the f2 class, couldn't be much better really, second race was a bit interesting, started dry on slick tyres finished on quite a wet track, don't actually realise how wet it is cos your visor is covered in water at those speeds even in a slight drizzle, soon find out when you're going sideways though:) Where's Cobb anyway? It's all a blur to me!

not sure what time my races will be but practice starts at 9

Oh forgot to say, come and say hello if you can find us, and don't call it a minor event, there's only 2 bike meetings a year at Thruxton, British superbikes and NGRRC, some of the regular solo riders also race at National level and are very talented, it's a good racing club.

Yep I'll be racing there, passenger on sidecar 18, can't miss it it's red/blue/gold/black, 4th time at Thruxton, all being well we should go alright but I've never done well there before. Had a good season, we're second in the F2 championship but can't catch the leader, still we hope to beat him on Saturday. Thruxton is a daunting circuit, that back straight is bloody fast!!!

Your riding instructor is a knob, if he thinks he wants to go fast he should go racing then we'll see how fast he is, 200mph on a public road is just ridiculous and he's probably stretching the truth as well, takes a long way for a road bike to get to its maximum speed and not many go that fast anyway, even road based race bikes struggle with those speeds. Call him a liar not an instructor.
