What a great day out, absolutely loved it. Well done Cardiff.

I believe he still holds the track record at Mildenhall. He scored 17 points from 6 rides last week at IOW. The opposition included Morley, Trigger, Kingston, Congrieve, Butcher etc none of them slouches, he also got the Fastest time of the night. Not bad for someone who hasn't been on a bike for years. There is no doubt he has huge natural talent but will anyone take a chance on him!

Have to agree, Jenkins as well as being the current NL Champ is the form rider in the NL at the moment. My point was Thompson is nowhere near the best rider in the NL. Clegg by the way has a NL average of 11.83.

And Max clegg, over 2 points better average! And Bowtell, And Bailey.

The SCB have revoked Kent Royals license and imposed a fine on Kent NL speedway. The revoking of the license is suspended. This apparently is for allowing the recent Nora league amateur meeting to be held at Iwade! Even though it has nothing to do with Kent speedway. How ridiculous is the SCB getting.

It’s not about disallowing him it’s about him being given the average he got after riding 4 matches

1. J Thompson 9.11 Leicester 2. A Roynon 6.00 Edinburgh 3. N Ablitt 7.20 Kent 4. J Alcock 4.36 Kent 5. C Bailey 8.86 Workington 6. L Kileen 3.00 Oxford 7. L Harrison 3.00 Workington Team total 41.53

Just done the exact same thing & couldn't pick Kent! So I had a toss up between B Vue (best race track) or Ipswich ( Just signed Emil)

Is James Shanes not looking for a NL team place. Heat leader ( 8.66 ) for Mildy last season.

That Kent side has a much more balanced look about it. Pleased to see Ablitt back again, after a years experience in the Championship I think he will be pushing Ben for the no 1spot.

Have to agree with you hawks. Morley, King & Alcock must be nailed on. I would add Ben Trigger to the wanted list & I would also like to see Ablitt back at Kent if Si can see past his non arrival at Edinburgh.

How do you propose to make the league weekend/bank holiday when half the tracks race week days?

R/R for Jenkins at Mildenhall today has put paid to Oxfords chance to make the play offs.

Would have thought Max Clegg would have been riding for Kent, Leicester is his home track.

You must have had different guests in mind other than the ones Kent have chosen, out of interest who would they have been?

On 6 point I am surprised he hasn't been snapped up before now. I remember not long ago he finished in the top 3 of the NL getting on for a 10 point average. Good luck to him I hope it helps him get back to form.

Adam Roynon a good signing, but how has he managed a 6.00 average!

I would guess Shanes is riding in a FIM type event somewhere ( maybe long track ) in which case they would be allowed a guest even if the rider is not a number 1.

I think the answer to your question is, They have certainly not outgrown the National league. In the 2 National league standard meetings the twins have ridden in this season at other tracks ( both independent tracks ) Mildenhall & Kent, the twins have managed 4 race wins out of 19 races between them, both were beaten 5 times by home riders at Kent yesterday. So yes there is no doubt other riders will push them and in my opinion the National league is perfect for their continued progress in the the sport. Have to say some of the races the twins were in yesterday were fantastic and I really hope to see them back at Kent again this season.

Planning restriction says no music allowed!

Plenty of parking, they are opening up a field on the left as you drive into the 'stadium'. Other tips. Bring a chair if you want to sit down. Bring an extra coat if its cold and try the burgers the one I had at p & p was lovely.

All riders had the same time out with Covid. Has Palin not been injured?

This is Brennan's 7th season of racing compared to Palin 4th season, you would expect Brennan to be scoring a lot more points than Palin.

Have to agree, Gilkes finished comfortably as the top man last season & I don't see any reason for him not to be top again this season, followed by Bowtell, Jenkins & Dan Thompson. Belle Vue to win the league & Ablitt to be pushing for BV No 1.

Kent 1st home meeting will be on Easter Sunday. Kent 1st away meeting 29th March v Plymouth.
