funny and controversial in equal measure and a thoroughly enjoyable read.²

SKIPPER READY TO RETURN

STOKE'S Lee Complin expects to return to the Potters line up for this weekend's clashes against Rye House.

The Potters skipper had a spin out at the Chesterton circuit on Monday afternoon and said "I feel fine, the wrist problem that kept me out of the defeat against King's Lynn feels ok and I'm looking to return for the weekend clashes against Rye House. "I've been in the gym and did a little moto cross on Sunday and their does not seem to be any reaction from the injury and I'm raring to go."

Promoter Dave Tattum said "It will be good to have Lee returning on Saturday we badly missed him against King's Lynn. "It was disappointing not to have a meeting last Saturday but we could not get anyone to fill the gap left in our list due to a lot of clubs having had postponements during June and July due to
the bad weather and those clubs fulfilling other fixtues. "Hopefully though the break will bring the lads back refreshed and ready to go again and I'm looking to remain unbeaten here at Stoke for the remainder of the season."
