dave1075 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Ben Morley & Danno Verge have both been confirmed as Royals for 2022. Also John Sampford continues as Team Manager. That’s a good start to team building with an out & out No1 & a decent 2nd String. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it reverts to his CL average from 2021 of 3.91 that doubled being 7.82 he would be an absolute shoe in for any NDL team this coming season. 17 hours ago, Jimsboy said: Foord to Leicester i heard Shame - Vinny would havr been a good signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to race NL, he should have completed 8 matches for Kent to get a 3.00 ave. His 5+ ave doubles to 11+ for NL now!

Either way two good signings and two good guys of the sport. Solid and sensible start from the new promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsboy Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 How about Georgie Wood for team place? Would be a solid heat leader in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats he going to ride the track hire bike? I do find it a little disparaging that time after time names crop up that have been retired for a respectable amount of time and for multiple reasons. Its a little disrespectful to all the available riders with kit who are actively looking for team places. (to confirm thats not just at you Jimsboy but the ever growing list of posters living in the past) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 What about Charley Powell. I saw him ride at Lydd and Iwade last season. He was also very impressive on the grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzac Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I think the likes of Wood and Powell are/were good grass trackers who had a go at speedway with differing degrees of success. Having had their go in the limelight and assume sold kit etc, can get there adrenaline fix at grasstack whilst holding down a job, can't believe either would want to commit to set up with speedway again.

Powell did all/most of the speedway meetings on the IOW last year and looked mightily impressive however he did represent Oxford and it wouldn't surprise me to see Powell, RTD and Coles all at Oxford this year. Wood gave speedway a good go but sadly never had the funding to make the most of his talents and it started to tell across his commitment levels. Powell adapted better than i thought he might and was probably a victim of averages / a little unlucky not to get a place when he was left out of the Eastbourne side. If Iwade get him on a 5 or even lower average he looks a bargain but i fear he will line up elsewhere this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're under Kent on the Speedwaygb website, so I'm guessing they'll be known as the Kent Royals again with the same logo as last year...

old bob at herne bay Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Seems the nucleus of last year’s Royals have all left the “Palace” and gone to Mildenhall. Jordan Jenkins maybe available......Sam Hagon apparently is busy at weekends so not likely to sign for a weekend track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Kent Royals Avg. 1 Ben Morley 9.18 2 Danno Verge 5.56 3 Connor Coles 6.04 4 Charley Powell 5.00 5 Jake Mulford 7.78 6 Jamie Couzins 3.00 7 Eli Meadows 3.00 39.56 0.44 I'd really like to see Jake Mulford do one more season at National League level. Watch him tear up the league before moving on to bigger and better things, but will the Sunday effect his grasstracking? If not Jake then maybe Benji Compton on a 8.00 at number 5? Also, I don't really know any local young talents who ride Iwade regularly. Other than Charlie Wood, but he's a lot younger than I thought he was... Who are the biggest emerging talents down there? Just a bit of Christmas eve Internet surfing... Don't mind me, I'm sad Merry christmas everyone Edited December 24, 2021 by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
