  1. Would think a bigger concern is the existence of the league next season rather than what its called. Entirely feasible that Edinburgh and Leicester won't be at the tapes, Kent have every right to think nuts to this and Mildenhall had to have a fair whip round at the start of the year to get running. This league hasn't been particularly well received at Berwick either (not helped by the crazy double header prices). The mass uncertainty of the higher leagues (the higher leagues that are incidentally riddled with much older riders) which could equally only have enough to form one league leaves the whole sport in a much bigger predicament than whether a D is necessary or not.
  2. So should he be anywhere near NL and certainly not CL. Nothing personal but theres plenty of 3.00ers who have put in the hours/miles/laps. Just because you are mates with someone don't make you any good
  3. What is the link with Parker and Edinburgh? Surprised he gets used at NL to be fair, at CL its more who is prepared to get changed early but tracking riders who could feasibly be lapped adds another level of risk to an already dangerous sport
  4. Something jangling in the back of my mind says Kent can only run 2 x NL meetings a month due to planning? Makes no sense as there is no restrictions on running practice/amateur meetings the other weeks of the month. With one September date already taken perhaps the risk of leaving the re-arranged fixture until then is something Kent and Oxford (for differing reasons) didn't want to take? Maybe its time to say if the fixture can't be run by the cut off date the away side gets the points and drop the fines against the hosting sides?
  5. I find it infuriating that so many riders have cut thier teeth in the development leagues and gone on to far greater things and yet generally the powers that be do little to support them and often try to ignore thier existence.
  6. Interesting as Kent Mildenhall is also that date. Double header feels like a touch of madness given Iwades recent meetings
  7. Very sad and stupid because the successful return of Oxford has been incredible but daft moves like this are harmful to every club. How early did Poole make the decision? IOW for tomorrow was also called off this morning but Oxford allowed riders and fans to travel and take time away from work for a lost cause.
  8. But Belle Vue have probably been on the phone already.....
  9. Certainly not surprised that Luke or Harry have dropped (although didn't expect the alarming extent) Ace virtually holding his average is success considering he was a 3.00 newbie last season. Whats most stupid is that Sam has put over 1.5 points on his average, Harry has shipped nearly 5 from his and yet Harry will more than likely get signed up first next year.
  10. I think even with Naylor and no Killeen it was going to be a high 50's score for Oxford. Ablitt will lead the battle with Morley and Tom picking up some points and Vale will likely be out to prove a point to Oxford. However with no weak links in the 1-5 for the Chargers providing the two reserves can resist wiping each other out in heat 2 it should be a fairly routine night.
  11. Thats just good budiness. Im prepared to run a multi million pound operation......as long as sufficient volunteers are prepared to run it.
  12. Certainly concerning considering two entrants are IOW residents, Katie Gordon rightful winner but the decline in female competitors probably matches the males at present.
  13. www.warriors-speedway.com but shhh don't tell anyone.
  14. 2nd best to the likes of Morley, Complin and Boxall on IOW so not exactly a big step forward. If entertainment is what you are after Michael West is the rider you want......unless of course its entertainment on track you are after...
  15. Last time Rob Lyon is left in charge of choosing the holiday location...
  16. Yup clever idea (rev limiters integrated into the coil system) however they never considered the amount required so non were available before the season started and rather than postpone it just got dropped/forgotten about
  17. Not that szkocsid needs defending but there are plenty of speedway supporters that have no allegiance to a particular (maybe soft spots for one or two) and are just fans of the sport which sometimes enables a more objective point of view.
  18. Probably get a better entry if it was advertised as a peaceful evenings walk / cycling. Ditch the racing and enjoy the peace for 3 hours, on site catering and free parking
  19. ive never got the 50/50 thing. Surely that applies to every single element of life. Its 50/50, it will or it won't. Every time a club runs a meetings its 50/50 that it was the last....until the next one begins
  20. Maybe all internal combustion engines will be banned from public roads in the next two years and you are forced to buy electric....don't worry though because you could still sell your car to a handful of banger racers
  21. If one positive thing for 2024 happens its for the mafia to forget the NDL exists and let them control thier own destiny rather than have rules imposed that close down tracks. Even more hopefully is that there will be one standalone league next year and it will be the Nora league.
  22. Ive been critical and unimpressed in the past but really looks a different animal this season.
  23. Kyle cant guest as an unattached rider. To be fair probably better to get a useful guest like Bowtell or Hagon
