I went yesterday.Good to see cars queuing to get when I arrived (crowd looked decent).Went far side thought I would be fine from getting filled in with shale....ok for a couple of heats...then the shale gates flew open!!!!!! Nice to see Leicester and Birmingham fans there (long journey?). Bowtell class as usual...good support from Ben and Alcock.Obvious weaknesses in team (but haven`t they all). Wonder why Kent never got Warren back? As Finn said you do really feel close to the action.

Not really knowing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.....but I was not expecting that result though. What was encouraging for Kent was that all the riders chipped in with points. Look forward to a visit to Iwade.

Funny named two riders....and all quiet since? Maybe having trouble getting a team together!

Great to see Ben back in team. Out and out Nr 1 in the NDL.....and a lovely Guy.

Confirmed on Website no Championship speedway at CP. So no Speedway left in South East....and very little left elsewhere!!!!

Totally agree. After years of going to Arena Essex/Lakeside and then Kings.....this latest news has finished me with the sport. When I think of all the teams that have gone over a number of years....I see NO future in British League Speedway!!!!!

Yes....looks like same old...same old...I despair!!!

Teams signing riders already....if Kent get go ahead will this be a big disadvantage to the Kings? And which heat leaders are Kent likely to get?

The bigger question is.....are we nearing the end of League Speedway in this Country. The amount of teams that have fallen by the wayside is frightening. And it sounds like there could be more.

Massive respect to Paul Hurry for doing the sensible thing ....which is right for him and the team. So two places to fill. Will young Mulford come in?....I would prefer him to carry on with the Royals and his grass track commitments...he can still stay at No 8. Wonder how many points the kings have to play with?

Close with score! Sounds like some decent Speedway,but looks like Heeps coming back too soon. Wonder if new signing will make much difference to results?

Weather and still weak Kent team keeping me away. Wonder when new signing is going to be announced ?? Hope Heeps has not come back too quick!....we know what Speedway riders are like.

According to OS....Heeps may or may not be ready....and new signing may or may not be ready!!!! Late decision by sound of it?

Poole will be firing on all cylinders after the Leicester win. Can only see a Poole win...something like 40-50? Pity Kent don`t have a new heat leader in place and will Heeps be back (too soon?).

Sounds like you know more about that side of it than me....but I would be surprised if its him!

Doubt it as its says they are sorting out a work permit etc....Troy already rides here!

According to the SS Kent are close to signing a "big hitter".....heat leader status and a lot of experience of British tracks??? Sounds like Scotty might have some support soon. Anyone have any idea who it is?

Agree....again no appeal to me I am afraid.....I just want to see a side that does not rely on one rider.

Exactly!

Have to agree...really thought it was a joke when he was announced in the team!!!! To think he replaced Covatti....I do not think he is even NDL standard at his age and all the injuries he`s had?

Cannot understand how they did not check with young Mulford was not available???....and now Kingsley!!!

Afraid this does not look attractive meeting to me.Weather dodgy....Eagles will probably be too strong...tie over already after 1st leg....Mulford not riding.....Kent too weak and need a couple of new riders.....anyway enjoy if going!!!!!

I have to agree with most of above. With a late start the weather has been pants....Kent`s team started the season quite weak (getting weaker)...Scotty the only rider really worth watching there...meetings called off for football reasons.....having to wear a mask even though an outside event.....getting tickets in advance.....and agree the NDL is overpriced and not appealing to go to. Basically I have written off this year and hoping next year is much more appealing!!!!!

Saw that....so Auty could fit in after all?

I know its Jasper...but was a Kent target....and sounds like very few choices. Agree they should let Hurry go and bring another heat leader in ...plus one more?
