Argos Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 It’s now only 12 Days to the National League Riders Championship at Leicester, Have the Riders for this Championship been announced, I have certainly not seen the names, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 You would think there would at least be an indication of line up, especially as it's the only meeting at NL level considered as priority. What it should be is each teams highest averaged fit rider (but set a minimum of say 6 points so we don't get 2nd strings and reserves half a lap behind) and then literally go down the league averages in order. Making a line up of Kyle Bickley James Shanes Ben Wilson Jon Armstrong Georgie Wood Alfie Bowtell Jack Thomas Danny Ayres Henry Atkins Max Clegg Ben Morley Leon Flint Drew Kemp Josh Bailey Jack Smith Mark Baseby With reserves Nathan Stoneman Tom Brennan That would be some line up, worthy of anyone's entrance fee. I fear though we will get something far more then diluted then this though. As long as it looks competitive I will be heading up to support any Kent riders taking part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 This event is What I think the BSPA call a Shared event which I think means all the NL Clubs share the Profits of the Meeting, Yet no one knows who is even riding in it, this just shows how much the BSPA think of the NL, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 The preview for the Buxton meeting said Connor Mountain won't ride until Thursday at the earliest? That doesn't rule him out of the NLRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ayres & Bailey likely to be out but Jenkins in, possibly Mountain in? as stated Brennan & Stoneman on the fringes and hopefully Coles as he has been in top form recently. Shaping up to be a top looking and very open meeting....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 From a neutral perspective....I'd like to see Drew Kemp and Tom Brennan in the line-up (and Conor Coles deserves a spot on current form...as mentioned above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argos Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well there’s 10 supporters that now will not be going, Don’t Promoters realises that we have to make arrangements, So with no publicity, no one knows who’s riding, We have decided to give it a miss, With absolutely no news is it actually taking place, or as it gone the same road as the 4TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummies_Ste Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 James Shanes is in Germany that day for the world long track final so its only Leon Flint for Brum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 It's going to be our last one for this year ,good thing is whichever 16 riders turn up there's a good chance about a dozen of them will have ridden for us this year and could be all 16 have some kind of connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuxtonTiger Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Why can "they" not even give the qualification rules. Is it that difficult to name each team's top rider and then a second with the highest average from the required amount of team's. I apologize for what seems sense, I had a short memory lapse and forgot we are talking speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the riders are bothered. Connor Mountain certainly is when interviewed on the Speedway GB You Tube. He mentioned it as one of his main goals this season .

The date has been there on the calendar allowing us to plan our lives but then all of a sudden it changes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
