Islander15 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Was Ledwith as good as his score suggests? It wasn’t the strongest NL cability line-up but if wants to full-time place next year and came in on a 3.50 like Clifton, Purchase etc then it would be a shrewd move by the team but morally questionable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) rob was my man of the meeting. the racing was pretty good and it was such an open field picking a likely winner at any stage wasn't easy. happy for Armstrong. crowd not at all bad. will have to check when I last saw Jon Armstrong ride against Robert Ledwith! nb programme tells us that Kent have applied for planning permission to run on Saturdays with a curfew until 21:10. it's not stated whether this is regularly, occasionally or what.

That is interesting ? Do they not run greyhounds on a Saturday night anymore ? Would have thought it was a very lucrative night for the dogs....

Sings4Speedway Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I believe Ledwith has been provisionally been offered a place and was competing on the machinery that Boxall briefly had so most likely Len supplied. From the reports i heard he looked very impressive and although i suspect he will get an assessed average even 3.5 - 4 sounds like a good recruit.

Sings4Speedway Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just checked the website and states Greyhounds every Friday & Sunday. Definitely frees up Saturday for regular speedway although what impact it would have on crowds i really don't know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not huge but must be some fans who occasionally visit both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well i visit both, and if Kent are racing in a higher league next season, that's where I'll be going. You also have to add in the factor of Rye House running on saturdays as well. Not an ideal situation for fans in the south east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if the fixtures are as hap hazzard as this season expect you'll still be able to see all 3 for the majority of next season.

teaboy279 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I believed it was announced tonight he has signed for 2019. I didn't actually hear that but I 've heard it a dozen times since. Standard wise his race winning times were comparable to heat 2 and heat 8 winning times. Great result tonight, I think so many people were happy for Armo to win something at our place and his victory was cheered as if a home rider had won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Sounds like he’s in the team then so that surely suggests that Kent are staying in the bottom tier in whatever guise it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) All but confirmed National League last year, whilst he is the only rider who is officially signed, speaking to various lads 5 of our team seems set in stone. 6 if the planning application for Saturday racing next year is passed.

TurnTwo Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Apparently gilkes is on his way to Leicester with Jenkins & the Thompson twins. That’s one set up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thought the Jordan heading Leicester bound was Palin? If Gilkes was added to the list could they be heading for the first competitive team of riders all starting on 3.00? Thompsons x 2, Gilkes, Palin, Abliit, Mulford, McGurk 21 points used up, limited 3 pointers for any other teams and genuine play off contenders.

I think its virtually confirmed and for good reason, the crowds are strong for NL level and the club runs at a profit each year. Len has formed a strong bond with many of the riders and he is a notoriously loyal man helping plenty of the side out with various items. If anything moving to a weekend makes rider signings even easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A risky policy with everything so uncertain for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
