I don't think we will find any common ground.

That's my opinion. I, for one, cannot see Danny Ayres becoming a top league heat leader and riding for England; nor Dan Halsey. Nice enough blokes but not development talent.

You miss the point totally. it is about age and development potential. look where Ellis is now. Bwd came in on a five ...look where he is now.

Age has everything to do with it. The league is called National Development League - like it loath it. I think it should be Division 3 but then I don't make the rules [thank god, some will say]. Drew Kemp is a red herring in this discussion. He was too young when he was 14 to ride in the NDL and he was too young to ride in the Championship when he was 15.

It is an age thing, plus development potential. I would say Perks and Clegg are young enough and have shown they can operate at a higher level. Danny Halsey, I would group with Ayres. Don’t know ages of Wilson/Wallinger so can’t comment. It is the BSPA which wants the younger riders with potential in the NDL, hoping others would move up.

Mildenhall, although small, does ride like a bigger track – so I'm told [ not from personal experience, you understand!]

Good move for Jason. 2019 is his exam year so Sundays for home meetings makes sense

Riss stormed it at home but was adrift at Poole when it mattered

An age limit would have been sensible.

I do not disagree on that. However, the BSPA have very much made the third tier development rather than division three. I don’t see the development potential.

Thanks for the information on Freeview. I certainly haven’t got it but will reload and see what happens. I have noticed that Freeview channels are different, depending on where you live. Missed the Speedway Star feature in the summer. Probably appeared when I was on holiday and didn’t get the magazine.

Just the wireless lol

Yes - no sign of those channels

Too old

Doubt he is going to develop into a GP star. Let him ride at Lydd rather than takeaway a team place from an up-and-coming teenager.
