Starman2006 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ouch, that arm twist by Sky must have really hurt. But nice to see a new club take the plunge and come up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) with doubts over lakeside and swindon, it's a necessity. I couldn't agree more with the posibillity, of only 6 clubs running I thought at least another one more club would take the plunge as well.

mcnabadam Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Great news. Plenty of riders available to them. Swindon have quite a few useful assets who will be looking for a new club. Oh, and Troy as well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Apparently Len Silver has tonight confirmed Kent will be in the EL in 2016. So who will they sign? No he didn't confirm that! He said the aim is to run both in the EL and PL but clearly stated that, "it's not yet cast in stone."

CB252 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Utter madness and a disaster for loyal Kent fans. Why jeopardise your existence and chuck your hat into the ring to try and finish runners up in the 'foregone conclusion ' League? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 No he didn't confirm that!

EL and PL Bryn, not EL and NL then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Cannot understand this one. I thought that Kent were governed by strict curfews, and had finish meeting early in the night hence their start time being 6.30. How is that going to work with the SKY coverage.

Reviresco Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I believe that Central Park has an agreement now to also run meetings on Fridays between 6pm & 9:30pm with the 8:30pm curfew still applying to Monday night meetings. On that basis, it would look as though EL meetings could be held on Fridays, with maybe PL (or NL) meetings being held on Mondays. If speedway can be held only once a week at Central Park, does that mean that fortnightly alternate league meetings would have to be staged? And on this premise, does this mean that the Lakeside EL operation will move to Central Park either on a 'stop gap' or permanent basis? Having campaigned previously to have speedway restored to Essex, I hope that this does not mean the loss of the sport to the County once again.

EnglishRoundabout Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Good news. Great to see a new club come up if this is what is happening. What's the track size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 268 metres Current Track Record 57.5secs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishRoundabout Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Ok thanks. Who holds that track record? Would be good to watch the likes of Holder and Iversen around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviresco Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 No problem. Steve Boxall set the current TR in July 2013. Track length, I guess, is somewhere between Lakeside and Foxhall and similar to Monmore (264m). https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3480408,0.7583342,249m/data=!3m1!1e3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificentseven Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Rumour is that it isn't the Lakeside EL licence. Maybe Eastbourne's? Whichever it is , this is good news - lets hope it is a sign of a bigger EL for 2016 with more meetings. Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 268 metres Current Track Record 57.5secs Would be the smallist track in the league then. Even smaller than Eastie. 275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aces51 Posted September 26, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Would be the smallist track in the league then. Even smaller than Eastie. 275. Another Starman gem. Earlier posts already make clear that Wolverhampton and Lakeside are smaller. It's not as if there were many posts to read. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Is it Kent moving up, or Lakeside using Kent's track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
