As I understand it, Mildenhall is not in the NDL, so what is the problem?
-
Years ago, I met James Hanlon, a member of Love Affair ... he told me that none of the group actually performed in the record!
-
So ask yourself, why?
-
Why is that? Meadows was impressive riding in second halves at Birmingham last season.
-
Well, when I was involved in it 10 years ago, there were plenty of riders taking part in a dozen MDL teams. Any shortage of riders now is the result of the complete indifference shown by the BSPL or whoever is in charge. No effort has been made to encourage new riders, so what do they expect?
-
Thanks for that. I wish that the powers that be would give some encouragement to the Midland league as well, an invaluable step for new riders. Not every one is Cooper Rushen!
-
What happened to the Northern Junior League? (the layer below the National League).
-
One suspects that his first name is Clark, or possibly Avtar.
-
There is a Northern Development League which is for beginners: the NL is too advanced for most.
-
That is the Midland/Northern Development League. It is difficult enough for NL riders to make it to the Championship; your suggestion would make it impossibe.
-
I don't think that this is true at the lower levels. My experiences in the MDL some years ago suggests that this is exactly what happens, despite the total indifference of the promoters.
-
On the other hand, the stand-alone teams need good riders to attract a good crowd.
-
You should volunteer, Dean!
-
Yes: I used to buy tyres, and other items, for a rider starting out in speedway, and drive him about using my own diesel. They have got to serve their appenticeship first.
-
Do you really expect to make a profit in a training league? The riders should be doing it for the experience.
