    potters v plymouth 07 09

    Looks like the tail wagged very nicely lol .... Good stuff Potters :-)
  3. He used 1 of the few holiday leave days he had accrued to make the trip to Plymouth in June that was rained off .. He only has a few days owing to him which he has scheduled around his race commitments and as much as he wanted to not let the club down by not making the trip , He couldnt get an unpaid day off either as other people where on holidays .
  4. Some people gotta work for a livin !!

    Stoke 2019

    And yet you slay Shelby on every thread you can .... Shebs been using 1 of Tais bike from 2008 , He rode here in 09 n NEVER got back on a bike until 2015 because he couldnt afford it .. Got an offer to come back for another crack .. Sure he hasnt set the world on fire but he does it all on his own .. Drives himself to the track n back , was working 50+ hours a week till the Boss ran off with everyones pays .. works on his own bikes other than at the track . Breaks his back n still has the desire to come back n try again .. Doesnt get a van n free room n motors etc etc like yas all think . He bought his old Transit , rents his own house n pays pretty much every penny he earns on gear to race .. a few sponsors help . He dont go to the pub or clubs , he goes to the GYM to rebuild .. If you had 1/2 a clue about the crap these guys go thru to race just to have KEYBOARD CLOWNS like you that have probably never slung a leg over a bike talk rubbishE about em im sure they would offer up a bike n have you show em how to be better .. If you go to Stoke then go n ask him , im sure he will hook ya up !!

    Cradley Heathens 2019

    the only problem with the 2 point rule is if McGurk or any of the decent 2 pointers needs replacing before they get an average ( 4 meetings isnt it ? ) they will be scraping the bottom of the Sdl, Mdl barrel .. is there anybody semi competent left ?

    KENT 2019

    A reserve hopes to score 3 plus .. gets 30 a night n no tyre , has to maintain engines n still drives as far n can end up just as dead or crippled as a #1 tho .. probably more chance cos hes riding with less skilled opponents..

    Buxton - epitomy of NL racing?

    I dont have an issue with teams dropping down , nobody wants to see the history of the sport lost to the ages , but whats done more damage to the NL is when some teams make it an arms race by paying 3 or maybe times more than the " 10 per point limit" and all the goodies that come with it .. In the end all it has done is drive the costs up so teams like Buxton et al go under because nobody wants to go n watch lesser teams get hammered by a team of riders who may have a few riders who double up n some big hitters who still want to compete .. ( im biting my lip ) Lets hope 2020 sees some sanity and common sense in the rules and to an extent the team managers who need to grow a set n play by the rules a little ( still biting my lip ) and the league can lick its wounds n rebuild and halt the decline of losing clubs like the past couple of years,

    Buxton - epitomy of NL racing?

    Its almost like they want to kill off the NL or at least make it so watered down that punters will have to go to watch CL or Prem league for a decent meeting .... who benefits then ?? Thats right , the promotors who implemented this rule ...

    Leicester NL 2019

    I dont think a team can have 3 x 2 pointers

    NL AGM 2018

    Hope Jack can find a team place somewhere . If bv signed 2 2 pointers would he still have a spot ? If the limit was 38 n they signed 2 3 pointers would he still be in the same predicament?
  18. Guess ya dont have to worry bout the substandard NL now...

    2019 Points Limit

    With Leicester dropping to Champ will that mean they wont run a NL team as rumoured ? Is the door still open for Cov or are they confirmed as not running ?

    2019 NL Season

    any confirmations or rumours on Teams that will make it to the line ? For sure were there in 2019 = Maybe , it all depends = Nope , had enough = Were dropping down to NL = Were going up to ? League = Heres hoping theres no closures etc n 2019 is a great year :-)

    Thoughts on 2018 Season

    Would the idea behind them dropping the limit to 30 be , so alot of the higher average riders have to step up to fill the spots in the Super League ?? ( provided they go to a 2 league system ) ..

    Buxton vs Kent

    Chances are it will be a close affair as riders will be trying to lower thier averages for next season ... oops i forgot.. that stuff doesnt happen lol

    Birmingham 2018

    Or a champ level meeting as a "toe in the water" test for moving up a league next year
  24. raddog

    Buxton

    Yeah there needs to be a Gentlemans & Ladies agreement between the clubs ( yeah i know this sound like crazy talk n probably is ) regarding wages or else in a few years there will be a league with a hand full of teams involved . Surely the bigger clubs would see more profit if they werent paying a heat leaders 30 + and reserves 20 + a point ? Or more !! If every rider knows theres no free tyres n all the extras from a club then the clubs big and small can take a sigh of relief and see some sanity back in the sport . A good rider will always find ways with sponsorship etc to make ends meet , a reserve at a less well funded team does it every week . if they are lucky they score 3 points that almost pays for the tyre they just wore out .. my 2 cents .. let the ridicule begin haha
