Poole fans are unbelievably fickle when it comes to NDL standard. Personally myself and all our group would love it. There has been offers to run an NDL side but BSPL rules it had to be run by the current promoter. I may be wrong, but think the Kent eagles are a new team and a new promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question was asked earlier if any NL teams at least break even, can't think for a minute in its first season this new team/promotion won't achieve that. I think the difficulty is more in getting fans to come along to the lower level team when teams have two. If the only option is an NDL team, I think that can work well. It's a harder sell when there's a higher level team competing for tickets. That said, Oxford have all three tiers covered, so I guess it works for them? Maybe they have a secret the rest of us are missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where there's a will there's a way would be my guess re Oxford running three teams, the Chargers were getting crowds some CL teams would be envious of. Plenty of fans around the country want weekly, or at worst fortnightly home meetings, at Oxford they get it. Plus Coventry, Reading and Swindon aren't too far away so their fans will travel occasionally to get their fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is accepted that just about every NDL meeting is to be staged at a weekend, to avoid problems with younger riders taking time off school (which is illegal) and indeed, the older guys having to beg time off work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly his point though. Poole prob not wanting to pay two lots of rent each week. Edited 4 hours ago by LisaColette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the additional problem of getting stadium staff in 'cos they all have other all-year-round weekend jobs in hospitality and security etc!!
