Kennett quits Plymouth. Where do you go from here 

Bad timing even with understandable reasons. Given he has no other Speedway commitments it would have been more helpful to at least "encourage" Kennett to stay on and do the first meeting then quit? He cops a ban for with holding services, Plymouth get to run RR until a replacement is found.....

Late notice isn’t it! Is there any reason given yet?

Not good news for the Plymouth faithful, Birmingham have proved riders are not queuing up for the Championship. But remember Mark did pull a few rabbits out the hat last year with Peddersen  & Crump - so fingers crossed!

The story is in the Daily Star but I can not find a link on their website. Basically, it says he has got a promotion at the quarry site where he is working & he would need to find a weekend club to continue his racing, as he has a 500 mile commute taking up 2 days of work at Plymouth.

Maybe he is thinking of his future for a guaranteed wage rather than a hope full one if Ian Jordan is sniffing around at Plymouth. Once bitten, twice shy.

Teams struggling to find riders and now Plymouth will be in the same boat.

The whole league structure needs a rethink and clubs like Poole shouldn't be allowed to sign 3 x No.1's imo as it's leading to a very unbalanced league.

Yeh, you’re right there. Like Poole. Or, before Kennett packed it in, erm, Plymouth.
And they’re not the only ones - how about Leicester, Redcar or, arguably, Scunthorpe.

if a rethink is required, it’s to cut the number of teams down to fit the riders available. When Oxford were allowed in, Birmingham should have been refused as, despite all the hot air coming out from Perry Barr, there is no way they can put together a competitive team for the budget that seems to be available. In my opinion

I think Kennett would have been a second string by June at best with Anderson, Palm Toft and Barker in that team 

Surely Zaine Keleher would score well at home and probably better away and turn up away more than Kennett.
