stevebrum 6,820 Posted March 19, 2014 There are some PL clubs who do want to see the young Brits progress, but then again there a some that don't. There is no sense, rhyme or reason why the PL clubs are not included in the draft setup. Purely down to certain promoters who would rather pay for foreign alternatives....... The PL clubs aren't included in the draft set up because they declined. Ridiculous when it was a perfect chance for ALL the leagues to work together for the future of the next generation. Typical of clubs and leagues putting there own agendas first and foremost. Just goes to show that the PL promotions are as guilty as the EL ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon Hammer 576 Posted March 19, 2014 I think the problem for the PL clubs using a draft system is the distance some NL riders would have to travel for home meetings. The EL distances are only from Belle Vue to Eastbourne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewis Rose (3.00) * Peterbrough: 5. Lewis Blackbird (4.81) 6. Joe Jacobs (3.44) * 7. Oliver Greenwood (3.00) * Plymouth: 7. Ben Reade (3.00) * Redcar: 7. Luke Crang (3.00) * Rye House: 4. Steve Boxall (5.69) Scunthorpe: 7. Matt Williamson (3.00) * Sheffield: 7. Josh Bates (3.00) * Somerset: 6. Charles Wright (4.30) 7. Paul Starke (3.52) * Workington: 6. Ashley Morris (4.01) These riders were all national league riders last year, and there is at least one in every PL club except Glasgow. You can't say the PL aren't doing their bit, there just isn't enough riders who would want to come up to Edinburgh or Glasgow every week. Those with a * are riding in the NL again this year, which shows there is a number of riders using the NL to PL stepping stone. Edited to rectify mistake.

No one is saying it is an easy thing to put into place and obviously the PL have much more spread of teams. Those riders you quoted i am sure are now ready for the PL anyway. It would be great to have something in place that BOTH divisions have a structure that BOTH Divisions work towards, instead of doing things there own way all the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
