TMW

Probably sensible because they will never have the same riders in them

Each match used to have its own discussion thread Has the NDL season not started yet ? Or is interest non existent ?

They’ve all agreed the league should focus on development so why have a team limit at all ! Surely they can all be trusted ‘to do the right thing’ ?? Or maybe not

The fact that any fan wants to walk away should be a concern ! For every one that says they are walking away there are 10 just doing it without so much as a bye or leave. this is where the problem lies with the NDL people keep trotting out this line ‘it’s only a training league’ okay then make it free. People are expected to pay good money they would like to see a return on that investment. with regards to the riders, it’s easy to belittle the league but, they take it very seriously as they want to progress but unless the powers that be stop using it as a political football and focus on making it a league that riders can be proud to be part of then the higher league clubs will carry on having to fly riders half way round the world at great cost. end of chat

You never learn do you Dave !!

With all due respect they shouldn’t be ‘negotiating’ any deals ! Promoter. ….this is what’s on offer Rider … great !

I’m just glad to have been part of the NL in its hay day ! Great Days !

6/7 from other teams can now guest ?? since when ? It’s always been 3.00 unmatched rider. it’s all starting to unravel and the season hadn’t even started !

You do have a point in that if a rider is injured and a replacement found but ave limit needs tweaking why not ? They did it for Edinburgh ! That’s what I’d say !

They were probably ‘told’ to get a 3 pointer but they had to prove there wasn’t one available !! Then maybe they threatened to pull out !

They will have conceded something for this to come about ! Speedway teams rarely do anything altruistically ! Maybe Poole have been involved. Is he riding for them in the CL and they do have influence

Knowing the inner workings I’m guessing Luke’s CL place is subject to him competing in the NL team ??? but like you say it’s a few extra meetings.

Only if you’d been living in a desert island for the last 10 years

When you look at how much fun the NL was Cradley Buxton Stoke Mildenhall Kent and the yearly overseas trip to Smallbrooke

Isn’t it all about the taking part this year ??
