Which stand alone clubs like Buxton are you referring to? Mildenhall and Iwade haven't entered the NDL since 2023 Isle of Wight, Stoke and Cradley not since 2019.  (2 of those are now defunct). So who are the "stand alone clubs like Buxton"? 

Poole crowds seem very decent, I was down in summer with the comets and must have been 1500 crowd, in the play offs crowds were well over 2000, must be a lot of people down south like win from the gate racing 😜 not a fan of Poole but they must be doing something good to get attendances like that every home meeting 

Close, Championship or Nora i would guess.

Could chris holder be a surprise signing for the Pirates??

I’d imagine  Nicholls,Barker,Batchelor would be the heatleaders id imagine and Joe Thompson at 4 looks fairly certain that’s the top 4 and I’d imagine Tobias Thomsen would make up the top 5.

May have to ask the BSPL, let’s hope the rumours are wrong but it’s well known the Chairman isn’t a fan of the NDL , for some reason.
