GM95 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) Delighted with that 1-7, reckon there will be improvement in all of the boys and we should hopefully be challenging at the top end of the table. Great effort Edited January 27 by GM95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense for once has actually been used. Personally think it's a brilliant decision to up the limit so max can get a team . Let's be honest none of the leagues teams would have built any different to what they did any way so it can't be a bad thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Edinburgh joining the NDL have been the absolute worst, how do they have so much influence? We won't run if we can't have Hook, our teams garbage but if you up the limit a little we can squeeze in a half decent rider. Perry has been available all winter they could have just opted against Watson or Wood. Might not be the ones driving them into the NDL coffin but they have been providing plenty of nails. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not at all deal for championship was complete before any mention of NDL we like every other rider believed there would be no league. when it was becoming apparent there would be a league he had other offers and chose Scunthorpe/Sheffield as it's not a track juniors to ride very and often the majority of the meetings will be there.

They will have conceded something for this to come about ! Speedway teams rarely do anything altruistically ! Maybe Poole have been involved. Is he riding for them in the CL and they do have influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Nobody is really bothered about the NDL will probably lose them money in some cases.Why did nobody sign Max on his average to start with don't quite get it.will the crowds flock to Armadale with this signing.

They were probably ‘told’ to get a 3 pointer but they had to prove there wasn’t one available !! Then maybe they threatened to pull out !

On the other hand they are probably one of the best in the UK for trying to bring up young riders. Started the monarchs academy which now has over 10 riders all from the age of under 10 to around 12 years old. Have two teams in the northern junior league and we were one of the main teams pushing to continue the NDL but apparently we are the problem.
