They have short memories, and even shorter when it comes to the RS program, with regards Buxton it would be great to see them back in a weaker and cheaper NDL.

25yearfan Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hope so! Buxton first ran in 1994 and was the epitome of the 3rd Division. Its still there! Loved the original nickname! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuxtonTiger Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 One can but hope, however I am sure that BSPA stupidity will preclude Buxton being there. Hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 If there are 8 Clubs would at least keep NDL alive. Armadale, Berwick, Northside (Workington); Leicester, Mildenhall, Scunthorpe; Oxford and hopefully Iwade may be best we can hope for?

Have Scunthorpe announced they will enter the NDL?. Hopefully they will. Could IOW be tempted back if the points limit was higher and they had a say in how the league was run?

Also even with the donated air fence i suspect there is still too much to do to get up to league standard ....plus obviously would need a promotor. 1 hour ago, shippy22 said: Are Belle Vue not planning to run a team in NDL?.

Very much doubt IOW will be back after how they were treated and the dirty tricks campaign against them. In reality its Armadale, Berwick, Belle Vue, Mildenhall and probably Leicester. Then its the new entries / maybes Redcar? Oxford?. Think Northside 2023 will be a thing but for next season the clock is probably against them to get finished, signed off and build a team etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing to stop them being both, after all Scunthorpe and Redcar are both - one for amateur meetings and one for league racing. Iwade has already hosted league racing in the Academy League. I'm sure someone would come forward to take it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at Iwade for a few years. Bar the air fence it was as ready for Division 3 as, say, Buxton. Good place for some grass roots speedway. Wouldn't be ironic if the only speedway in the south east was Barry Thomas' training track? Wish Buxton was on its way back. Places like that and Lathalmond were such joys to visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
