I hope Kent gets accepted in the championship, nothing guaranteed yet I think

I don't think that there is any doubt that Poole and Kent will be accepted in to the Championship for 2020.

With Sheffield moving up they will want a round number and if Poole made 11, they will want a 12th and I think Kent will get the nod ahead of Plymouth based on geography..

Only have to hope that there is a NDL for those Clubs not in PL/CL to race in!

With the best will in the world i can't see many from the 2019 side being included with the possible exception of Gilkes (and even he has made noises about wanting to be racing nearer home)

 

When has he ever said that? I think you are either on a wind up or full of "clutching at straws"!!!

H Gould from Birmingham..You seem to be well informed ? Are you in Speedway management ?  I am a bit confused over this alleged move to the Championship.

When will we know for certain ?  And if it does not happen, what then ?  I hope it does happen even though I actually prefer the National League and seeing young

riders learn their trade...Gilkes and Mulford great examples this year. But apart from my personal preferences, it will make most fans happy, I think. But all the other

teams in that league will be signing their riders while Kent wait for a decision, so must be impossible for them. Wednesdays will be OK for me.

I read the Speedway Star that's all, I was a Track Raker and that's about it.

My reading of the Speedway Star this week suggests to me that Kent and Poole are as sure as you can be to be in The Championship when you read the articles written.

I may be wrong but looks like rubber stamping at the AGM which is next week Wednesday and Thursday I think.

I do hope there is a decent NDL in 2020 as most would agree it needs to thrive.

Thanks, now understand where your information came from.  I missed it. So if Poole and Kent go up, what happens to Plymouth if the

National League is not big enough ? What is the minimum needed to run a league ? Can't be less than 6/7 surely ?

I'm sure Kent and Plymouth will also run a NDL team.

My understanding is that Poole have been accepted into the league & I know they have already made signings . There will only be one more team accepted so it is between Kent & Plymouth who will both pitch the the other 11 teams their business plan & intentions for stepping up to ensure that whichever club comes up is sustainable.

 

I also hear that one of the conditions of acceptance will be they have to also remain in the NDL.

Why does there have to be 12 teams?

If so, that’s a disgrace.

If a club wants to move up that should be its choice and there should be no condition about retaining an NL side unless that condition is placed on all CL clubs.

Don't forget that Weymouth are only an MSDL side that run after the main Poole meetings so the number of Wednesdays would be available

Let's not forget the object of Poole going SGBC is to get back on a firm financial footing. Why would you look at starting something that although reasonably successful on track ( Buccaneers) last time was a financial disaster!! Poole Speedway don't own or lease Poole Stadium they merely rent it when required ( at a not inconsiderable rental either). Their only income is sponsorship advertising merchandise and admissions.
