Is that an official statement, or just your opinion ?

Sure the Rob situation was written by Club somewhere.

If the NL gets go ahead....Kent must race in it otherwise there will hardly be any Clubs in it...and where would that leave Mildenhall ans IOW?

Just seen that...surprised.Also means Kent know their team....wonder when the League details/teams will be announced?

Kent either know their team and the limit has been reduced or know there is no team which would be a huge shock. Its more likely the former as Gilkes, Mulford, Ledwith are all unlikely to be left out.

Alex`s text says cannot fit in the team....sure there will be a Royal team.

As Leicester have announced today there has been a significant drop in the points limit which has meant that Leicester now cannot include Danyon Hume, So Kent and others will be in the same situation and having to drop a rider at the top end of the team and replace them with a 3-4 point rider the idea is so that NL can develop and have team places for youngsters & new starters to the sport.

Everyone is much better informed than I am.  But it does look as if Kent will run in the National League.

Royals fixtures published including an away date at Newcastle so looks like they are in the League properly and not just the trophy campaign? With only 3 available reserved dates pre-cut off for two sides it seems a push? and if both teams make the play offs (if they bother with NDL play offs) there will be many fingers crossed for a long dry summer

It has The Newcastle match as a challenge on the Kent website.

This team fits:

Kent

1 Dan Gilkes 8.00

2 Jordan Jenkins 6.55

3 Rob Ledwith 5.93

4 Luke Harris 5.36

5 Jacob Clouting 3.16

6 Jake Mulford 3.00

7 Sam Hagon 3.00

Total 35.00

I was told that Jordan Jenkins had gone to Mildenhall.  Never seen Luke Harris linked with Kent before. Is that a fact ?

Whether you are spot on or not.....well done for getting a team with exactly 35.00!

That team would take some stopping too be fair and looks much stronger than anything built so far. Not sure if the bridges are still burned for Harris as Len doesn't forgive easily and was upset when Luke declined to be a club asset. 

Agree that team would be the team to beat...all riders could put a point or two on their average.Also agree not sure we would see Harris back?

I feel Harris is unlikely but equally it would be foolish to release Spooner without a replacement in mind / lined up unless there are multiple changes which again feels unlikely. I guessing as IOW have only just withdrawn it won't be Campos, King and Wirtzfeld deserve a chance somewhere but given the other teams maybe Kent will be bold an add another 3.00 pointer

Which other 3.00ers are around and about who don't have NL team spots already who are good enough for the chance? New faces who have never ridden the leagues before

Based upon the MDL averages and riders who have never had a full time team spot  the following could all hold their own in the current league and most are higher average rated than others either signed for this season or previous ones. James Laker, Chris Watts, Saul Bulley, Danny Woodward, Luke Muff and James Chattin
