blueherb777 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 will uncle Len run both kent and rye in the NL. Do rules allow that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Do rules allow that ? Don't see why not. Wouldn't be the first promoter to run two clubs. At one time Terry Russell had Swindon and Eastbourne in the EL for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25yearfan Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great that so many clubs are interested in running NL next season but where are the extra riders going to come from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great that so many clubs are interested in running NL next season but where are the extra riders going to come from? Could all this increased interest in the National League be an indication of the level at which all UK speedway will be operating in a few years time? An interesting thought maybe?

Ben91 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Great that so many clubs are interested in running NL next season but where are the extra riders going to come from? There's plenty of riders around. Luke Harris will hopefully be the first name on the team sheet. Can see a return for Ben Morley too as Kent will need to lose one of their top three and Morley is a Rye asset. Would like to see Danny Ayres too but he'll probably be back at Kent as well considering he is their asset as far as I know. Possibly a space for Luke Bowen as well as his average fits. Morley, Bowen and 5 up and coming riders would be perfect IMO, want to see the Raiders develop riders not just go out to try win the NL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Great that so many clubs are interested in running NL next season but where are the extra riders going to come from? If only there had been an amateur league running all year in the background, giving riders the chance to ride different tracks and iron out any mechanical issues.............something that ran after main meetings and gave up and coming riders precious track time and exposure........ Oh hang on there was! The MDL has dozens of riders all looking to step up to the next level. I for one would like to see at least one if not both reserve berths in all National League teams awarded to riders who competed in the 2014 MDL season.

I think thats where most of the riders will be coming from, depending on the points limit, Im thinking teams will be tracking 2/3 three pointers in 2015.

Sings4Speedway Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I suspect & hope you are right greyhound. Its always good to see 3 pointers at reserve anyway. I think due to the potential points drop there will be quite a merry go round in terms of riders and new teams (except kings lynn of course who track the same old every year) Who would have thought that with a full seasons league experience behind them the Scunthorpe lads could find themselves in high demand!

The Scunthorpe lads, I hope, will be back at Scunthorpe in year 2 of the programme! Tbf to King's Lynn they bring on new talents look at Lambert, Rose, Kerr, Stokes, Knight and Bailey last year. I'm not sure of his age but we may see Ryan Kingsley next year. Other clubs have the same pool of senior riders that they pick from anyway, look at Devon: Bates, Webster & Andrews were hardly new names to the league or the SBA.

I too hope that they will be back at Scunny especially as I cant see them being bottom this year however with several southern based riders & potential southern based team places it might be hard to turn down? It was a little light ribbing at kings lynn and a couple of the old guard however I concede that they have brought many youngsters through. Young Bailey had an excellent season that went largely un-noticed and I strongly suspect that Kinsley will be included this campaign. It is also not easy to sign non full time riders when racing midweek despite having such brilliant facilities at the Norflk Arena 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if any Team can bring 2 prospects through each year, they are doing well, so KL are a victim of there own success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Islander 15 i have seen Adam Shepherd many times this season usually went out in second halves with another lad called Cousins who always beat him half a lap when he did decide to come to the tapes,..Seldom came out for his second ride and kept every one waiting and drove us staff mad with his messing about..If he makes a decent rider il eat my hat....

Ben91 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I see no problem in tracking Sheppard who is a Rye asset. I've not seen him ride for a while so can't comment on his ability but regular league meetings would only help him. With the news that Scunthorpe are not running NL in 2015 I wouldn't be surprised to see Arron Mogridge in the Raiders side too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Should try and get Moggo senior in the team as the wily old campaigner definitely put bums on seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
