Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 The possible inclusion of Rye House Raiders in the 2014 National League, along with likely but still to be confirmed teams from Plymouth and Scunthorpe is a welcome upturn for the competition next season. Added to that, doubts about Stoke seem to have been abated, while hopes exist that Isle of Wight will be able to continue. It appears that this year's NL AGM later this month is going to provide some extremely upbeat news for the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised there has not been any replies to this subject as if it happens it will change things at Kent Kings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iand Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Surprised there has not been any replies to this subject as if it happens it will change things at Kent Kings! Could Len be a promoter of both clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Could Len be a promoter of both clubs? I am certain that Len Silver is NOT the promoter at Kent Kings. I think it's Roger Cearns. Len was involved at Central Park as co-promoter to comply with regulations that need a first season promoter to have an experienced person working alongside him.

John Leslie Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Could Len be a promoter of both clubs?Nobody is a promoter at Kent. NL teams don't have a promoter. They have two club co-chairmen, and then, I think, the NL as a whole is affiliated to the BSPA, rather than each individual club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Good news for the National League..This could of course have a big effect on riders going to Kent Kings.. We will have to wait for the conference and see what happens,, but nothing is cast in stone including the possibility of other clubs joining the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the Kent Kings website information may be wrong? It says: CLUB DETAILS Central Park Stadium Church Road, Eurolink, Sittingbourne ME10 3SB Stadium Office: 01795 475547 General enquiries: speedway@kentkings.co.uk Kent CTA Fire Kings Speedway Contacts: Promoter: Roger Cearns Co-Promoter: Len Silver Several other NL websites also name promoters/co-promoters. Just two of them are Stoke and Isle of Wight. Edited December 3, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that was Len Silver as per Kent Kings details. Edited December 4, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Be great to see a Raider's return, I'm hoping we put out a young side of raw riders, it's in the best interests of ourselves and Kent to leave Morley and Coles at Central Park IMO. Morley is already a fans favourite and can learn more leading a title challenging Kent side IMO. As for Coles, he needs to start the season at reserve, something you'd hope he would get at Kent. If we put a side of rookies out he'll go into the main team and that's no help for him. I'd have Simon Lambert head the team, possibly David Mason as a wise head too and the rest 3 pointers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockets Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 And see no fans turn up. I agree blood kids but make it competitive at the top end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 And see no fans turn up. I agree blood kids but make it competitive at the top end. This one isn't about the fans through the gate tbh it's about developing our future Rockets. Scunthorpe ran their saints sides a very similar way, blooding youngsters and they churned out the Worralls, Ash Birks, Kyle Howarth, Ash Morris, Stefan Nielsen, James Sarjeant and I'm sure I'm missing a few still. If we could so something similar I'd be more than happy to go through the gates to watch a team of novices develop into future Rockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too early to be saying who you'd like to see until Rye are actually confirmed imo... but hey, here goes: 1. Simon Lambert 9.46 2. Shane Hazelden 4.77 3. David Mason 6.38 4. Ben Hopwood 6.89 5. Kyle Hughes 6.22 6. 3.00 7. 3.00 I must add, not that I want Ben to leave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hughes and Hazelden have retired, as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We own Hopwood so it's possible but he's not ever going to get much better. Hughes was fantastic in his season as a Rocket, got a head injury at the end of that year and never been the same rider. I like Hazelden, shame he's retired. I'd have him back if he did change his mind though. I hope we are confirmed in the league. Lambert makes sense, needs confidence and to get more comfortable round Rye. A NL number one too. After that, Mason is an experienced head would help bring youngsters on. Otherwise pack the side with 3 pointers. No point bringing the team back and using mediocre 20 something's who aren't gonna improve IMO.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'd have agreed about Hopwood if you'd said that last year Ben but I was impressed by the lad in 2013... A little known fact is he was the first visiting NL rider to record a maximum at Central Park... TBH Kent could do worse than consider Hopwwod for the Kings' side in '14... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
