However WalterPlinge is saying that it is definitely Birmingham and Kent so I was wondering how he knew this? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not take any notice of him,he is just wasting eveyones time. I have an email from KK that says it is Eagles and Brum. Just disappointed that Kent will be left in a poor NL,which will be no better than SDL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can only tread water for so long before the public lose interest. If kent and Eastie race on the same night next year, I'm more likely to be heading for sussex.

Cliv Clav 60 Posted November 17, 2018 If Eastie are moving up, you would expect Jon Cook to return to run the team and bring in some former Hammers to spear head the team. Lawson, Ellis, Kennett must be possibilities to fill a couple of heat leader spots. Cook knows Jason Edwards very well after years at Arena together and Brennan would be an automatic choice at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted November 17, 2018 Got to agree with Cliv Clav. I can see the now unemployed Jon Cook doing a deal with his good friends at Eastbourne as Team Manager and bringing the nucleus of the now defunct Lakeside team to bring the Eagles up to Championship standard. All of Eastbourne’s assets were signed over to Lakeside for “safe keeping” after the NL banned clubs holing rider assets so Eastbourne would appear to have a competitive side at least at Arlington. As a TM Cook used to be OK, but IMO out of his depth as a “ co promoter” at Lakeside. Maybe a return to the Sussex coast away from the traffic jams of the Dartford Crosing will do him good.

East End Fan 426 Posted November 17, 2018 Personally I hope that Kent DO remain in the National League. I visit quite often during the season, just as I also visit Arlington. I enjoy the racing at both venues without supporting either team. Reason is that I can sit in reasonable comfort at both places which is essential for older people like me. And I like watching the development of youngsters which is why I like the NL. All the nonsense I keep reading on this forum about which teams and riders are moving this way or that IS just nonsense until it is a fact. I do not think anyone who posts on here knows any more than I do about the given situation.....it's all just guesswork.....good fun though...keep it up !

teaboy279 1,038 Posted November 17, 2018 A six or seven team National League is gonna be the beginning of the end of Kent I fear, hopefully Len sees sense and tries to join Brum and Eastbourne going up this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
