"Speedball" gives his opinion about pay scales in the National League, quoting that it's wrong to pay a rider a £600 guarantee. Now I do NOT believe in paying riders

guarantees as it is against the spirit of the sport as an entity imo...BUT, as I see it, the National League is a business just as much as the senior leagues and so promoters

are entitled to do ( within the rules) whatever they wish to enhance their business. If that means paying a rider over the odds, it is only the same thing that happens in

the upper leagues, so who should criticise ? But frankly I do NOT believe that ANY promoter at this level finds it necessary to pay guarantees of the kind quoted and I have

friends among some top riders who confirm my thoughts.

Clegg would be eligible as his new Championship average is 3.10

That's a Birmingham road to go down and off topic tbh. That rule has been applied every year as a starting average and not a current average. Until Carr, but now he's been dropped and conveniently the date he couldn't ride NL was until he got dropped so make of that as you do.

If Max Clegg is allowed back in the NL his final av from 2016 would have to be used which is 10.8

Liam Carr Has slotted into Birmingham's team on his 2016 av with Coventry 7.11 which is lower than Danyon Hume's 2016 av 7.33

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!!

 

Get yourself a touring caravan. Thousands of lovely sites all over the country, many near speedway tracks, and you will pay around £20 a night including all facilities and an electric hook up for the van. Pay per night as you go, and if plans change, hook up and come home. Job done!

 

Any more news on the condition of Danny Phillips? I was at Mildenhall when he had his crash, and it was a nasty one.

Huge shame to see that Hampshire has taken a break. Looked to have a huge amount of promise near the end of last year but just hadn't happened for him this time out, was hardly riding his bike on Sunday. Hopefully he can return soon. I wonder if Sam Bebee's awful accident had an effect on him, they're clearly very good friends.

If only they had been so sharp in replacing Hughes.

 

This team is crying out for two heatleaders, would be interested to know why Clegg has ended up at Buxton and not Lynn.

Because Buxton is more interested in running than lynn maybe? Fixture cancellations out of the blue and a non proactive management I dunno why they don't just give up with NL rather than get made a mockery of by every other team in the league... Hampshire has seen the light now and moved on I wont be surprised if others follow, if theres anyone else left of course

I have to wonder if Hampshire would have been better waiting for his chance at Mildenhall? Definitely potential there but perhaps he was placed into NL a little to early?

Not sure the last time i saw / heard of Portwood being on a bike so i suspect he will be a little rusty. Fingers crossed Kings Lynn can turn things around but there does seem to be a definite slide since Allitt has stepped away from the team.

Hazelden isn't fit . J Knight says he has got a team but hasn't said where. David Mason is to old.

Didn't realize Shane had been injured, hope he's recovered and can get a team place somewhere soon, also Jake KNight might just sign for King's Lynn :P That might be his team place he's talking about
