Islander15 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) However if Kyle could be persuaded to ride one meeting KLYS could then exploit the 'guest for any reason' rule that is specific to the NL. (There has been some discussion of this on the Buxton thread in connection with the signing of Ellis Perks). I'm a bit surprised that no alteration has been made to this rule. Isle of Wight were only allowed a facility for 28 days last season, regarding Compton. So they'd still need to sign somebody.

lynnboy Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 They need to seriously sign some riders as no one is going to watch this poor effort of a team which is a shame as we have brought on some good riders, but getting trashed like this is doing them more harm than good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Last night's Lynn team isn't doing anyone any favours. They are woefully weak and remind me of the scunny team of four years ago. If the promoters aren't serious about the young stars they should pull the plug on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Who are they supposed to sign though? Only Jacobs comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Tomorrow's meeting at Lynn has been called off. Sadly it's time for the Young Stars to withdraw from the league. Ther aren't any riders available to sign and they are going to get hammered everywhere they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesM09 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Nathan Greaves Joe Jacobs Adam Roynon Oliver Greenwood Max Clegg Brendan Johnson  Not taking into account averages or Kings Lynn's NL Budget- but they are riders that come to mind.

I've just been told that the Eastbourne v Young Stars meeting on Saturday has been called off too, although neither club nor the BSPA have mentioned it on their websites. Â I've booked a hotel for 4-days down there, so as to take in the meeting, and it was non-refundable as from midnight last night!!

Think they cited lack of medical cover. Â I've said before the official Lynn site is poorly updated and this proves it. Fans it seems don't need to know such information. Hopefully you can still enjoy a nice break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 At the start of the season, the team assembled was pretty decent. Was never going to win the league but it would at least be competitive.  Losing Hughes before a wheel was turned was a blow and I fear the injury to Phillips is the proverbial straw that has broken the camel's back. The side has been decimated and I just don't see any realistic options to come in and strengthen the side.  The Young Stars have always had a philosophy of developing the next generation of riders for the Stars team. In the past few years we've seen Kerr, Rose, Lambert and Bailey all come through the ranks. They were never on big money but they always had a clear career path.  Trouble is now, the league isn't really a development league any more. It's now a fully fledged 3rd division with some clubs chucking money at riders in order to clean up. I was told last year by someone who would know (and I trust) that one of the standalone clubs were paying a £600 guarantee to their top rider last season. He turned down PL spots because the money he was on was better and easier than riding in a higher league. Just plain wrong.  Sport is about competition but it needs to be a level playing field. The NL pay scale is pretty much out of the window nowadays. Think the league has to decide what it's there for. If it's going to continue on it's current path, I fear for the future of not just the Young Stars but Buxton as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've developed good riders in the past that have progressed into the main Stars side and there's no reason why they can't do that in the future with some of the ones starting out now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Very true although it does make me wonder why they have cut their MDL side this season? When you think that Bailey, Kinsley, Whitmore, Hampshire etc progressed through this route where are the future young starts going to come from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
