National Trophy on Sundays for 2015 (After training) - Too many fixtures to fit in with EL & NL

Is that confirmed?

 

I don't see the point in that tbh, like Leicester last year, they just used a load of riders from other clubs, I think it's good if a team use their NL team to bring young riders through,but I can't see this happening

 

I can see this working for a club which has no current team and are trying to get back into the sport such as Milton Keynes, but Lakeside are an established team, No one is going to be able to ride only for lakeside as they wouldn't get enough rides

That's a real shame if that is the case - I was looking forward to having another NL team to support! Although it's definitely better than nothing, and hopefully it will lead on to full NL the year after.

Second sides in the Trophy gain nothing and are just hen picked riders from the sides that aren't in the competition. Look at Leicester last season.

 

If Lakeside enter the trophy I hope they're told to field a 7 man team of riders who are not attached to NL clubs already.

Hopefully the Sunday slot can replace the existing training on a Friday meaning the track can be at the best it possibly can for the important EL meetings, I know Gerald and his crew can work wonders but the track in my own opinion will never be as good as it could if you have riders practicing all day before an evening meeting, especially in the warm summer months where constant watering is crucial.

 

Ultimately though a NL setup at Lakeside will always be limited because of the gulf between the EL and NL, a PL/NL setup is much better in terms of natural progression, that said though there is nothing to stop Lakeside loaning riders out once ready and building an asset base of youngsters, I have always said that is what the club should be doing, does not matter who and where they ride so long as they remain assets which could be used or sold in the long term.

The more tracks there are offering rides the better.
