    Leicester Lion Cubs 2023

    Yeah I understand that and each individual club have to look after their own business first. Therefore should Brits under 21 get a bigger reduction in average than Brits over 21? For example, 20%, and that might have made Dan a better proposition to promoters. But not just Dan, all young Brits.

    Leicester Lion Cubs 2023

    So he can get a Premiership place but not a Championship place?! He clearly needs a middle tier spot, rather than NL, for his overall development but that’s British Speedway all over!

    Workington 2023

    Kelly on 3.30 is a snip! A fantastic reserve pairing, now let’s see if the rest of the team lives up to it.

    NL Fantasy Team 2022

    Congratulations to Diamonds85 who is this year's winner!! His winning team had big rises for Trigger, Perry & Freeman and around a point rises for Atkins and Bowtell whilst Morley & Sam McGurk stayed relatively static. 1. Diamonds85 49.64 2.

Mac101 43.51 13. szkocjasid 42.75 14. Bluenose 41.69 Lots of people were unlucky with Luke Killeen not getting a real average, which undoubtedly would've been quite high. The highest averaged 3.00 rider ended up being Ace Pijper but the only person to pick him was Secsy1. The next best 3.00 man was Max Perry who was only selected by 2 people (myself and our winner). But 4 of you went for Ben Trigger, including the top 2, who nearly doubled his average. Otherwise the best option turned out to be Connor Coles who added nearly 3 points on his average. Meanwhile lots went for a combination of Crang, Ablitt & Atkins who all put on a point or just over to end on similar figures.

    Workington 2023

    The best signing that anyone could make in the NL! Between him & Boughen this year, they both showed that they’ll make a mockery of their average but Harrison starts on 2 points less. If the rest of the team is as rumoured it should be a good first year back.

    Berwick 2023

    It’s a shame if he’s not. He needs NL to continue his early development.

    Workington 2023

    That team would probably win the league! But also highly illegal as Roynon’s average is now 8.67.

    NL Fantasy Team 2022

    I am waiting for the final official BSPL averages to be confirmed.
  9. I am nearly referring to the NL only. He was effectively stopped from rising by getting an average after 4 meetings.
  10. I respect that decision. But this is where the rules allow lunacy when he’s effectively been stopped from riding over the late summer but can then come in to win someone a league or cup title!
  11. It’s a bit of a joke if the play-offs are decided by who can book the best 3.00 unattached reserve and then hope they honour the booking!

    Armadale Devils v Belle Vue Colts

    Is it really to their credit, when it short changed the paying fans (in person and online) from seeing a more competitive version of the Colts?

    Armadale Devils v Belle Vue Colts

    They knew about work before yesterday afternoon and didn’t do anything about it though! Pretty shocking for that talented Belle Vue team to fail to make the play-offs!
  14. Islander15

    NDL cut-off date ?

    It’s not Belle Vue’s fault though that Armadale find it harder than some to fit their home meetings in because Edinburgh have been successful this season.

    Armadale Devils v Belle Vue Colts

    Belle Vue should get a point at Armadale. If I was a Colts fan, I’d be more concerned about the weather!

    Armadale Devils v Belle Vue Colts

    No surprise though!

    Redcar v Scunny

    Criminal to not use Roynon in heat 14! He even arguably should’ve been out in heat 15! Strange to give him the harder heat 13 though when Rowe rode in heats 10 & 14.

    Mildenhall 2023

    Good win tonight for Mildenhall who fully took advantage of Oxford missing their top 2, which should salvage a PO place after their 2 home losses! Booking Clegg worked out well. They just need to sort the Muff problem now.

    NDL Pairs Leicester 20tn August

    Quite a few riders are missing in this! Again! I was considering going but such a disjointed line-up doesn’t make it look like the best of meetings. So it’s the Thompson twins’ to lose.

    Cardiff 2022

    Hasn’t the meeting officially started at this point, with the practice being yesterday? So the reserves will take Ellis’ rides. It’s a shame either way with such a fuss being made about who should be the WC and thenEllis gets his opportunity only to get hurt. If he rides, he was bound to struggle anyway and yesterday’s fall will only put him even more off the pace.

    Cardiff 2022

    So everything is at City Hall Lawn from 10am?

    Plymouth v Berwick

    Absolutely this. You could easily argue that if a wedding takes precedence then whether the NL claims to be professional or not, there’s no justification to charge fans to attend! But regardless, Plymouth could have arranged a 3.00 rider so at least there were 4 riders races at a bare minimum.

    Plymouth v Berwick

    ‘Pre-arranged family gathering’ even though both fixtures have been in the fixture list all season.

    Kent v Belle Vue 5th Aug

    Kent are entitled to build whatever team they want upto the points limit! The problem is, that you were oblivious to when making slandering comments against the club, was that you are only allowed 2 guests and must use unattached riders thereafter. Dan Thompson & Blair are about as good a top 2 as you could find because remember this is real life and not every single rider that ‘on paper’ looks better will want to or would be able to ride. Then they had to pick 2 unattached 3.00 riders and tbf none are going to score many points, if any points at all. So what difference did it make whether they picked Shimelt, Douglas or someone else? The best you would’ve hoped for is only 1 or 2 points anyway!
