Fozzie4388 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 The Line-up does now have Tom Young in instead of Wallinger on the NLRC section on the BSPA website (Not the story on the main page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Maybe Tai could ride over here for loads of teams as 'unattached' and then ride in the British and Premiership Championships? Of course, the Premiership should have to hold such an event for it to happen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think speedway will disappear from the British sporting scene. However I think it could eventually cease to be a team sport and evolve more along the open-individual style lines so popular in California, USA.

Wallinger has put on fb that he was asked to do the NLRC and said yes but last night (!) was told that he was no longer needed.

No National League data however in regard to the 2019 season. http://wwosbackup.proboards.com/thread/9328/david-wallinger He rode a couple of meeting for Plymouth as well !! before saying the journey down was too difficult then signed for Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson has retired so escapes punishment but Stoneman, Andrews (both),Young & Bursill should by rights receive bans for the next two meetings (this season or next) but we all know they won't . Do we actually KNOW FOR SURE they turned the meeting down !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that all teams have 2 places in the competition and it is a compulsory event. The organisers should contact each club and say you need to send your top 2 riders by MA (unless they can produce doctors notes) then it moves down the side. If 6 of the 7 are unfit to ride thats one unlucky side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ben having announced retirement and the meeting being postponed several times any appointment/holiday already booked would have to take preference surely. These guys fit speedway in with a normal life job, they deserve to have a holiday at the end of the season. Postponements through weather can't be accounted for always, is this the third attempt at running this one, I've lost count. Having a 6 or 7 in for a Championship title against the likes of Ellis Perks is no good for anyone. It should be for riders purely riding the National league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotteringAround Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 With the Glasgow v Leicester Championship Play-off final postponed tonight, what's the chances that it will be re-arranged for Sunday? And if so, what does that mean for the NLRC in respect of Ellis Perks, Joe Lawlor and Kyle Bickley? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im certainly not going to debate that riders & families deserve a holiday after a hard season and that postponements are annoying but as things stand the rules are the rules and until changed they should be observed otherwise we end up in a bigger mess than we are in now. As for a 6 or 7 being in, that will only happen if the higher riders don't dodge it, lets not forget it is also a privilege to ride for a speedway team and with that comes certain obligations. Purely for riders that are eligible to ride in the NL and are in a declared 1-7 NL side. Perks is currently the best rider in the league and should not be denied the chance to become individual champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 If I had a bike I might have just turned up on Sunday. There will be a good chance of getting a go. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Taken from the Scunthorpe website: LINE-UP: 1. Ryan Kinsley (Mildenhall), 2. Kyle Bickley (Belle Vue), 3. Jordan Palin (Belle Vue), 4. Ben Morley (Isle of Wight), 5. Ellis Perks (Leicester), 6. Joe Thompson (Leicester), 7. Dan Thompson (Leicester), 8. Joe Lawlor (Stoke), 9. Jason Edwards (Mildenhall), 10. Danno Verge (Isle of Wight), 11. Drew Kemp (Kent), 12. Leon Flint (Belle Vue), 13. Tom Young (Plymouth), 14. Anders Rowe (Kent), 15. Connor Coles (Stoke), 16. Jack Smith (Cradley). Looking at the line up for me, it’s perks to lose. Kemp will be there or there about a if he has no mechanical issues and I feel that Kingsley can cause an upset. The big spoiler for me will be Rowe...they have an amateur meeting on in the morning so the track is going to be as hard as the M1 and I fancy a slick circle to suit Anders to a T. May the best rider win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 So Tom Perry can manage to guest for Peterborough today, so why isn’t he in this meeting? I still think Perls is favourite but it’s not that clear cut but Kinsley & Kemp are going to be there or thereabouts. Best of luck to Morley and Verge and of course Ben is a double winner so you cannot write him off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit unfair on the last minute riders BUT now Newcastle is off wouldn’t it be better to have Max clegg and Danny Phillips back in.Max is at top of the NL averages after all... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
