Crabba59 Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 16 hours ago, Lenny Lion said: At no point did I say Birmingham/Eastbourne were requested to field a NDL side in 2019 because they still had a good sized NDL league without them because Leicester entered a team. Poole will not be required to field a NDL side because they didn’t run one in 2019 so it has no effect. But for Kent/Plymouth it will be a condition of acceptance because if they step up then it would likely lead to the collapse of the NDL league . For the same reason Leicester are running an NDL side in 2020 to keep the momentum of youth progress coming through the ranks & to keep the league alive with only 1 team less then 2019 who sadly closed (Stoke). Are you sure Leicester are running in NDL? THINK you are jumping the gun a bit there, and cradley will not be running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent ran two SDL meetings there in 2018. He did and it was an excellent venture but it ran at a loss and sadly since those days the amount of air fence panels at Iwade has reduced to almost zero so i would be very surprised if NL fixtures were run there this season. Plus £5-8 more than enough for SDL but i cannot see people prepared to part with £15 for Iwades delights. That said it is a very useful training facility and Kent as a County is very lucky to have the facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the lack of air fence panels when i attended one of the summer sixes events a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Does anyone know if it is a fact that the Kent link to the Championship League will be decided today ? I had a phone call from a friend who usually knows such stuff, but he was only guessing. I think he said that the AGM was today, but he was not certain. Must be someone on this thread who knows a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless things have changed, day one is usually attended by 2019 teams and involves going over the 2019 season, clearing up any matters outstanding and agreeing the share-out of any shared events. Poole would attend as a PL team and Kent and Plymouth would not be included. Day two (today) would normally involve business for 2020 and voting in any new teams.

Skidder1 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I would think that any proposed 'new' team to a league would want to know the full rules and regs before committing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what my opinion currently is but im happy for it to be changed. I do hope your opinion of me has changed for the better. Kent accepted, Plymouth declined. Kent will indicate their intention to run in both leagues at the NDL AGM, Which is what Rob Godfrey indicates in his section on the NDL .

blueherb777 Posted November 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Happy Kent at last are in a higher League. With two home fixtures against Eastbourne and Poole.....crowds will be good. Be also interesting to have fixtures against the Northern/Scottish teams. Lets hope Kent build an exciting team to watch.

For us Eastbourne supporters it would be weekend speedway at Arlington and mid week away to Kent and Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Be great to see our 2 reserves in the champ be 2 of the 2019 NL side. And drew at #2 as well. Looking at Lens 2nd tier history you can see a Kennett,King,Nicholls character coming in as captain. I personally hope for an all british team, or as close as possible. I d rather have a mid table side of relsteble riders, then a winning team of riders with no affinity with the fans. But exciting times, shame we lose Rowe at this level, maybe if he wants another season of NL we will keep him for another year there.

Drew is on a 4. Something average so depends on how they build the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
