Are Mildenhall still riding... is there even still an NDL?

Talking to a Kent Royals rider on Tuesday and he was looking forward to their next meeting away at Berwick on Saturday 4th september so the answer to question 2 is yes as is the answer to question 1 according to the Mildenhall website - Kent’s last 5 home matches are in the National League starting on 21 september and going through October - Must say I am looking forward to those meetings with the youngsters gaining much needed track time - Hope the weather holds up :)

If your argument against the change is that Lawson "already has a job at King's Lynn, I'd reply that Edwards "already has a job" at Mildenhall!

There are many arguments... that is just one of them.

Lawson has already closed 1 club down this season with his wage demands, now he's gone to a club that already have Crump and Pedersen on their payroll and are unlikely to make the pay-offs (play-offs)

What an absolutely ridiculous comment "Lawson has already closed 1 club down with his wage demands " do you have knowledge of what his wage demands are? No you don't so why are acting as though you do? I will be at Leicester tomorrow and I hope Plymouth and particularly Lawson smash Leicester and you miss out on the playoffs as a result .:mad:

Yes, you're right it was obviously Jason  Edwards that they were paying too much that's why he had to go, but it was too late Eastbourne could never recover from his wage demands... mean while Lawson was sat in the pits refusing to take his rides because he couldn't afford to take to the track

It's up to clubs to pay riders what the clubs can afford, not what the riders are asking for!

I take it you would agree to work overtime for your boss even though they hadn't paid you your weekly wages for a few weeks despite promises?

Totally agree... not so straight forward when there is a shortage of riders though, nobody comes out of this mess too well

Dunno... I'm just the guy (mug) that pays £17 to watch 4 riders in a race every week

There’s the first three biting imagine if we win and you have already lost 7 points because of the Eastbourne situation it could be nervous times down at Beaumont road….. no seriously guys I’m only messing in my last 2 messages may the best team win on the night.

Looking at the table if Plymouth are going to make the playoffs they really have to win this one and not only just win it they need 4 league points. They have to take as many as they can off Leicester. I know Plymouth are only 3 points behind 6th place but Leicester have played 4 less than them.

I think most people could work this out for themselves but thanks anyway. :rolleyes:

We'll just wait for you to go bust trying to pay Lawson his wages and have the points back :lol:

This is going to be a difficult meeting for the Lions with Plymouth top 3 I would have been more confident if we would have had Nick Morris as he has been very impressive this season.

The crucial thing will be how Ruml and Cook take to the Leicester track, If Dan Thompson and Zane Kennedy beat them that should be enough for Leicester
