They can’t release anything till they know who’s in , which makes sense. They don't want to say something silly like “ fixtures will be posted next week “ and then nothing happens! You mean like what they did with the pl/cl fixtures... the main problem with british speedway imo is crowd interaction... this barely is any and then the sport just slowly slips into the back of peoples minds What happened to all of this lockdown stuff they were doing? Did they get bored? This lockdown is worst than the last 2 because there is nothing to look forward to... the first one had the weather, the second one had christmas, this one had nothing... peoples mental health will be going through the roof... this is the PERFECT time for online fan interaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 There may be a different kind of NDL in 2021. The most important thing is to continue to give plenty of riding experience for our developing youth It would be good to give THE BYC riders more rides.... possibly second half rides or even places in teams if there is a rider shortage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first one ended, i had non league football and a few speedway meetings to go to. The second one was short and football continued. This time it's going to be much longer. Despite my second jab being due in April, I'm still not hopeful of a May start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 So a week on from the NDL AGM and still begger all has been released. Considering the mess that appears to be being made of the 'rising stars' now would be a great time to release a little good news or any rubbish news would go a bit under the radar..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you in such a rush to be told “ this might happen if...” or “ we are doing this, subject too...”. When there’s something concrete to tell I’m sure they will but at the moment they have a plan but it’s in pencil until more is known. You will only slag them off for doing that. They dont want to do what the clowns on the top table have done, release a fixture list including a team that isn’t running, release an incomplete list of ‘ rising stars ‘ that includes riders in their mid 20’s who have been heat leaders in the championship for a while but not tell you how they came about compiling the list . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst rush isn't the right word i think at the moment everyone is looking for some glimmer of hope to keep them motivated. Many of us are far more used to the NDL being run in a more open and honest way compared to the higher leagues (although i accept the bar isn't very high). But surely even a statement of we have discussed several options for the coming season based upon differing scenarios and will release full details once further variables are known. Keeping people in the dark does nobody any favours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure where the information you have came from but to the best of my knowledge there has not been a NDL AGM - well at least not one that I have attended anyways. Keep safe one and all please. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be the only hope. Certainly far more qualified in every regard that a stooge taking the 3rd tier on a branch line to nowhere and oblivion. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only regret is that i can only like that comment once. Barry & Martin are one of the few teams who realise that whilst their own team is important the league as a whole needs to flourish in order to see the greater benefits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see how it can flourish this year. Maybe the stand alone clubs could run a few open meetings, until things are back to normal.

If there was a NDL AGM he would have been invited, if he wasn't then A others would have told him it was happening and B if the IOW team are being excluded from it then count me out of anything to do with the sport in the future. These are the people who might give it a chance of having a few glory days once again, shutting them down because they possess a little vision is as unlikely as it is ludicrous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 think they have a pre agm zoom meeting/call to put any proposed changes for the season then have the AGM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybishop Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 There has been no Zoom Meeting nor AGM for the NDL. If there has been then Sings4speedway would be right in that IOW (and I assume Mildenhall/Plymouth too) have been excluded from any such Zoom Meeting or unofficial AGM/Pre AGM. And if there was a pre AGM without IOW knowing I would be particularly miffed as it was ME who got them introduced to the NDL midway through the season with a view to discuss what worked, what we need to improve and how to collectively move forward. As always keep well and safe in these tricky, troubling times. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think Mr. ‘ Ringitsneck’ gets his information from his best buddy THJ ! Personally I don’t see how the sport can announce anything until the current Covid situation is under control. No crowd means no speedway , simple fact . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
