Diamonds85 Posted Tuesday at 09:37 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:37 AM A geographical league makes sense from a team point of view, but for a rider it would make more sense if the teams were spread all over the country in both leagues. For example there's a kid who lives in Edinburgh. His teams could be Edinburgh in the NDL and Workington in the NT rather than a north/south split where his teams would be Edinburgh and Birmingham/Kent/Plymouth etc. Less travelling for home meetings for individual riders. So it's swings and roundabouts. Although I do understand Workington's issues with travel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why it should NL North - Workington, Edinburgh, Middlesboro, Belle Vue, Sheff/Scunny and NL South - Plymouth, Kings Lynn, Oxford, Leicester, Kent, Birmingham. Would make far more sense in respect of travelling. I understand that riders can double up anyway, but then that is down to them. Although a paltry amount is paid to the riders for travel, it makes sense to make it as affordable as possible on all levels. And as I have stated before, I'm not sure why Rev limiters need to be a compulsory item and why U16's and NDL/NDT riders need a silencer less than 4 years old when they haven't materially changed since 2015. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they entered something and didn't fully consider the ramifications is the right thing to do just change their mind? If you knew what was implied compared to what has developed you may have a different opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
