Less than a day really. But it cost loads to bring special cleaners in to clean the bugger. I think its in the Region of £16,000 to do it

Yep, funding in British grass roots sports sucks. It's not that it's not there, it just is never spent well

No we don't get any funding for the velodrome. Its the only privately owned track in the whole of Britain. Funded by us. I don't know much about who pays.

Hey Smoothie! Those cars are driving on the wrong side of the road!
And send some of that rain over to California. We are in our 3rd year of drought.
