Daniel Smith Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 with all this speculation about kings lynn going elite if this happened what would be the chances of the national league team running aswell? I'd say quite likely. It's in the best interests of the club to try and develop young British riders. Although I don't attend these meetings it massively important the 3rd tier of speedway.

em1500uk Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm hoping they do decide to continue with NL racing at the NA. Not heard anything about the status of the NL team for next year yet. Perhaps that'll be part of tomorrow's announcement or something?

rhidassa Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I did wonder that myself... something I'll be interested to hear the outcome of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 So why on earth don't you ever attend them..?! If you don't mind paying the extra £8 a week for me to attend then I'll be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 So why on earth don't you ever attend them..?! I find it really irritating when people question why I and others don't attend more NL matches. The fact is that its expensive to follow the Stars home and sometimes away, AND support the Young Stars, as well as taking up a lot of time. If we end up racing EL next season and there are spare dates on Wednesdays for whatever reason (SWC etc) then I hope the Young Stars run on these Wednesdays as I'm sure that I and several other Lynn supporters would attend.

rhidassa Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks like the Young Stars will be running in 2011, alternate weeks to the Elite League, thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks like the Young Stars will be running in 2011, alternate weeks to the Elite League, thankfully. very good move by the Chapmans .. can see this paying off ... one week elite .. one week Nat League .... fans dont have to choose now between elite and national leagues each week and can support the young stars ( should be starlets!!) and effectively its costing fans less over the season than PL racing every week ... am expecting a good strong team full of young assets and rising STARS !

Wessex Wanderer Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 very good move by the Chapmans .. can see this paying off ... one week elite .. one week Nat League .... fans dont have to choose now between elite and national leagues each week and can support the young stars ( should be starlets!!) and effectively its costing fans less over the season than PL racing every week ... am expecting a good strong team full of young assets and rising STARS ! If its anything like the last couple of seasons that is EXACTLY what you will get (well, maybe not the strong bit so much but that will soon change). A young entertaining and always improving team who never knew when they were beaten. Really enjoyed watching them whenever I got the chance.

Bagpuss Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 More Wednesday NL meetings means I'll be able to attend more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalCastles Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 KL will be able to build a really strong team at NL level in 2011......should be another good year of NL racing for the Young Stars....given the options they have for out & out NL heat leaders as well as the vast improvement shown by a number of the younger riders last year.

ajh Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 The only downside from tonights fans forum for me was that the admission price for NL was going to be £10. But as many have said, it will allow me to get along to more meetings. Luckily enough for me it wasn't financial pressures that prevented me from going, more my family commitments. Taking up two nights a week for speedway when you have a busy job and family life isn't easy. By now alternating from EL to NL each week, I get the best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking up two nights a week for speedway when you have a busy job and family life isn't easy. By now alternating from EL to NL each week, I get the best of both worlds Can I ask why the £10 price was a downside? Its a standard NL price... to give an idea, prices are/were: £10 - Kings Lynn, Buxton, Weymouth, Scunthorpe, Bournemouth, Dudley Heathens I grant you Plymouth were marginally cheaper at £9, not sure on the other teams but have a feeling Mildenhall/Rye House were slightly more, though maybe someone could confirm?

rhidassa Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 We were £8 last season for NL meetings Show's what I know about that, eh Irrespective, I still maintain it's a decent entrance price... costs and VAT are rising... and £10 is pretty much the standard NL price.

Blazeaway Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 We were £8 last season for NL meetings Yes and crowds didn't improve so hence the move back to £10.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yes and crowds didn't improve so hence the move back to £10.00. Don't agree with that. I think it's gone to £10 because they know they'll get more in this year with the alternate race weeks between the EL & NL. I will even bother this season. Have to have the weekly fix I'd be intrigued to know if they'll knock up some season tickets to include both leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
