At least it seems they're not one of these fictional teams with a shoddy website which claim they will turn up for 3 years on the trott but never materialise from Internet Forums..

I have an interest in similar stories so when I found the sites to be low on the history behind the team (which I wouldn't mind seeing as it surely can only aid a growth in knowledge on this important event), I found it to be a little dissapointing.
The SS Windrush did indeed take the first migrant workers from Jamaica to England (docking in Tilbury in Essex) but it had began it's voyage from Australia before docking in Kingston. An ad had been placed in a Jamaican paper offering a cheap passage to England to work. A total of 492 (mainly ex servicemen who had served with us in WW2), 300 below deck and 192 above deck, had paid £28 10 shillings to travel on the ship for a month to England. It left Jamaica on May 24th 1948 and docked in Essex on June 22. Though they recieved a cool reception, 202 of them, who had stayed at Clapham South shelter, had found work immediately. The NHS a major source of employment. But the biggest was Lodon Transport.
The Alfa wouldn't be my personal choice but they are not exactly flush with cash so the Alfa was no doubt one of a few options; if any.
I have my fingers crossed that they do well.Manufacturers Champs (06'), Teams Champs (07')

TBH I dont get why some places have anti-cut devices when other identical kind of places allow huge cutting and the throwing of dirt all over the road.
