Nice gustix.

 

So going from everyone's pieced together the Kent line up is looking

 

Bowen

Clifton

Stoneman

Thomas

Hopwood

Andrews

Other

 

This team doesn't really set me alight to be honest and I am feeling a bit sorry for the Kent fans having gone from a dreadful season to a brilliant season now to potentially a not so good season. I can't see that team challenging for honours to be honest.

 

What baffles me is it's not top heavy and it's not strength in depth either!

With the riders that are left I would be surprised if that is not very close to the line-up.

Agree it would not look very exciting and not a patch on last years team.

Not having EITHER of the teams ENTERTAINERS back is nothing short of a public disaster.

Kent supporters deserve better,but this will not happen until things change at the Club.IMHO. :drink:

Is there then still space at Kent Kings to recall David Mason to the squad?

Whilst i am not doing cartwheels at the signing there are plenty of worse options available. Andrews was pretty dissapointing the last time he visited Central Park so would definitely need some laps to get dialled in to the place. Hopefully this can be the year he kicks on and proves to be a good signing rather than just one made due to the very ancient history his family has with Len.

Sings for Kings i saw him at Rye last year and i have to say i was very impressed,,I think once he gets dialled in around Kent he will prove to be an excellent signing

According to the bumf, young Mr Andrews has a full-time mechanic.

How on earth can a reserve rider in the National League have/need a full-time mechanic?

 

Do youngsters these days not do their own spannering with a bit of help from dad/mate?

If it was down to me NL riders would have to display a decent level of mechanical competence before being allowed on the track.

 

If the National Speedway Academy ever sees the light of day, then I'm sure spannering would be in the syllabus.


 

The signing of Bradley Andrews for Kent Kings is INDEED confirmed.

At the start of last season Andrew looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He improved as the season went on & i was surprised that cradley didn't give him a second season. Next year he needs to improve his fitness, still young & getting taller but looks to be carrying a little puppy fat which could soon be burnt off as he grows up.

Massive shout out to Gill and Mick from CTA Fire Detection, who have pledged to sponsor the Kent king riders this year. They were our title sponsors in the first 2 seasons, whilst a deal was not struck to continue that deal, CTA still Sponsored riders both at and away from central park. But to commit to the entire team is a great jesture, massive respect from me. Well done guys.

Two heat leaders and a further reserve required. Interesting days, weeks, months ahead. Will the number seven berth be an untried lad and if so can he do what Jack did this past season? Hope so. Two trustworthy point scorers home and away needed to fill the middle order then.
