Daniel Smith Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 No room for Tom Stokes, Screamer? He impressed me last (this) year. He made lots of progress at the beginning of the season, although he did seem to hit a few rough patches at times. 1 Darren Mallett 2 Tom Stokes 3 Lewis Kerr 4 Adam Lowe/Jake Knight 5 Tom Young 6 Shane Hazelden 7 Lewis Rose Or something similar, perhaps? With having 2 new faces someone is going to be disappointed. Your team looks good though. I get the impression (and the club has always said it isn't about that) we're trying to put a team together to win the league. Personally, for me that would be a shame as it should be about progressing riders not titles in the NL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, for me that would be a shame as it should be about progressing riders not titles in the NL With the current poor support from the club faithful do you not think it possible that a successful team challenging for the title would bring in better crowds. Also in my view riders in a successful team are more likely to improve at a higher rate. Secondly aren't all leagues about progressing riders Pl up to EL, EL to GP? Not picking on any riders, and no criticisms intended but agree the Jake Knight sentiments but are Darren Mallett and Adam Lowe & Scott Campos likely to kick on to PL if they remain at KL - maybe moves elsewhere would offer new challenges. Maybe for the NL a cap of say 3 years at any one NL track in a career would be beneficial to development? Kev 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Scott Campos has reached his level, i remember seeing him in the under 15,s at Buxton, many years ago now, same era as Bridger, Auty, Hughes. Darren Mallett and Adam Lowe have had serious injuries which have held them both back, but they can both be very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwichkev Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Darren Mallett and Adam Lowe have had serious injuries which have held them both back, but they can both be very fast. Agree, but with the very limited amount of meetings at this level would it not be more beneficial for any rider to have more exposure to other tracks and Managerial set ups?

Before that, nobody is that interested in the reserve team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Only once they reach the Play-Off's. Before that, nobody is that interested in the reserve team and therein lies the problem for NL Teams with who run under a senior Team, I cant think of one over the years that has had any kind of succesful attendance figures. Coventry CL, Wolves CL, Bournemouth NL, Newport CL & NL, Scunny NL, Belle Vue NL, Rye House NL, Kings Lynn NL, Newcastle NL, all have tried and failed, what it really needs is not only for the promoters to try the NL, but they have to try something different, such as if they are a Senior team season ticket holder, they can watch NL for half price, or produce a Senior program <though open to abuse> for half price admission to NL meetings. Surely its better to have 200 spectators at £5/6 than 50 at a tenner. Get out to local junior schools, and give demonstrations by riders and bikes, along with a video or three, give them free tickets for NL meetings, along with a fixture list, I personally can only see Coventry running for 1 season unless something is tried outside of the norm, something pro active has to be tried to get spectators through the gates, cuz its of no use just to say, we are doing NL racing in 2013/14 or whatever because history says it wont last. Use NL racing to try different promotional activities, and if they are succesful then these junior Teams will have a future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Darren Mallett back at number one according to Radio Norfolk, fingers crossed for an injury free season. How many points does that leave for the final two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Young Stars have signed Shane Waldron according to today's Speedway Star. Will be interesting to see how he gets on this year as he appeared to have much promise when he used to do second halves at Lynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Jake is the final man http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.19108 So the 1-7 is Mallett Kerr Young Hazeldene Knight Waldron Rose Should improve on last year's bottom finish, and good to see one or two new faces. Hopefully the fixture list won't be so badly affected by the weather this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
