Sings4Speedway Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Is there any word regarding what was discussed / decided at the AGM. With the involvement of a new south west league and withdrawal of some teams I suspect there are many changes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedibee Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 So, two weeks after the meeting and nothing. Why is the potential development of young speedway riders such a secret? Because nobody is interested in running the MDL , why would they be ? the promoters treat it as if it's something they trod in ,, and the bspa/scb look on it in much the same light , sadly the people who run speedway ,Promoters ,BSPA , SCB are a little bit thick , they look at the current National league and think to themselves that the riders in it all fell off the christmas tree . wont be long before these deadheads are complaining that there's no kids coming though and they are having to build teams with journeyman foreigners and pay them to fly in and out , stupid is as stupid does is the saying ,and what is being allowed to happen to the MDL is a classic example of stupidity in the highest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 There are some truely remarkable individuals who run MDL teams and put in countless hours & stresses for no reward other than the pure love of the sport. Sadly as often pointed out they along with riders are all too often treated poorly by promoters (and many supporters) who treat them as second rate & an inconvenience rather than a benefit for the sport & its future. Then there are the governing bodies who set out a remarkable amount of hoops to be jumped through & financial requirements just to bring an amateur team to the tapes. For all of its flaws this is still the most honest & enjoyable league currently racing in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is there any more news on this? Season is getting close now and must be hard to prepare/motivate riders if nobody has a clue what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB trying to impose NJL format on MDL, 2x500cc & 2x125cc riders, whilst MDL want to keep old format What the hell is the SCB doing poking their nose in? They do nothing to assist the MDL in fact quite the opposite so why are they trying to ruin things further? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbadbuster Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Mdl is to bring new riders into a NL team, a rider who is a top MDL rider will learn nothing/improve riding against the smaller cc bike as it's a total different class. With Leicester now not running any mdl meetings instead having smaller bikes is it really needed? What will the scb gain from this change apart from there being less of a chance of a up and coming British NL rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Butler Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 The NJL is a poor spectacle for spectators. same 4 riders against each other all the time. Much prefer 6 x 500cc heats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuxtonTiger Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I agree with you Mike however this is speedway so why not just F--- it up like the Premiership and National league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six 500 hundred heats is still the same four riders in the mdl format so your point is what 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
