PotteringAround Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 So, with the signing of Connor Coles, it looks like initial thoughts are correct, and Leicester are going with:- Dan Thompson 10.17 Joe Thompson 8.52 Connor Coles 6.04 Tom Spencer 5.53 Mickie Simpson 3.62 Vinnie Foord 3.00 Max Perry 3.00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coles should be a minimum of a 7.0 man in the NL, so if he can ride to his potential should be a great signing! That being said, he must be on a 6.0 ave for a reason, which in the weakest NL ever wasn't a great achievement for him!

ScunnyDan Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 As Dan Thompson achieved an average of over 5 in the championship last season (well done to the lad) - is he still eligible for NDL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's rules (and previous) allowed for 1 rider over a 4.00 CL average, so Leicester would have been OK anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That daid i think you are right as points increase will largely see a re-hash of last years lineups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W9 Lion Posted December 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Happy Hunter said: Mickie Simpson back! It's shaping up to be a good side. Suspect that Leicester have done their business very early for both the Lions and the Cubs. I would imagine that running open and private practice days means that both sides are very attractive to inexperienced riders where they can get greater track time than at other clubs where there is limited opportunity to practice. Also it looks like the Gaffer is keeping to his promise to the Fans from a couple of years ago of developing the clubs asset base. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still is a question though whether signing for a NL club does this make the rider an asset of that club or not especially when the rider is U16 like Ben Trigger,Max James and Max Perry I know there was some confusion last season with a couple of riders as the NL is considered non professional training league and previously riders like Charles Wright, Craig Cook when they rode NL they only became an asset of a club when they rode CL or PL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Did Kent have any assets last year then? I thought you needed a certain amount of assets to run, but if last year was their first in the CL, who did they sign as an asset? Could be, and probably am, talking a load of sh!te though Does the Thompson twins, Jamie Halder and Max Perry fit as the last 4? I'm at work so can't do all the sums!! 1. Dan Thompson 2. Jamie Halder 3. Connor Coles 4. Tom Spencer 5. Joe Thompson 6. Mickie Simpson 7. Max Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Perry This season Paul Starke, Jordan Jenkins (rode for Redcar/Mildy) and Dan Gilkes were Kent assets, I'm not sure if there were any others. I don't think any rider under 16 can be an asset of any club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
