You'd be mad to through away the potential you have.It's one of those decisions on what is more important. If he is Champ level or better in football then he will probably be on a minimum of £100k a year but if he could improve his running he could be one of the top 10 of the 100 metres but not earn anywhere near the same amounts.True, but what if he isn't Championship level? He was playing for Dagenham and Redbridge and spent last season on loan to Thurrock. There are thousands of footballers who play at the level and never get any better - there's a lot of competition to get to as high a level as the Championship

Is it a special surface or is it the design of the stadium that reduces cross & headwinds or just the fact its a new surface? Anyone seen any plausible explanations.I was wondering the same myself

Whenever I hear the commentator say "Perri Shakes-Drayton", I can't stop myself saying "Johnny Hates Jazz".
I really hope no one is DQ in the 100m final. I know they can delay things but for the final i'd prefer they were allowed one false start.
