“We operate 12 motor franchises at 25 locations and feedback from those visiting the showrooms is a good barometer of the car buying public,” said operations director Mark Busby. “We’re finding that awareness of the overhaul of the system...

City boss Paul Tisdale was forced to make two changes to the starting XI that drew with Notts County last time out. Goalkeeper Christy Pym was injured and replaced by Bobby Olejnik, while Jake Taylor...

Rob Baxter’s side continued their impressive run of Premiership form last time out by sharing out a 35-35 draw with table topping Wasps, who failed...
