old bob at herne bay 828 Posted November 17, 2018 Well I do not get the private mails from Len Silver, but do get letters from Swale Council advising me of planning applications from the Speedway, having previously written to the council supporting Kent Speedway planning application. There has been a further planning application to allow speedway on Fridays. At present they they can only race on Mondays , with a curfew I believe at 8.30pm. Without the ability to race on a Friday Kent cannot run in the Championship. With the planning application still to be heard, surely Roger Cearns would not pre empt the councils decision by declaring to race in the Championship? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunters 210 Posted November 19, 2018 If indeed it is Championship for Eagles next year then I can see Tom Brennan at IOW next year possibly with Edwards and Brooks. What a shot in the arm for the Warriors who really deserve it. I don't think the usual dislike for doubling up at Arlington would apply now that they are in the Championship and they would have first claim. Thursday night at IOW fits well and with good organisation Tom would be available for all IOW home matches and away Saturday's could be arranged for weeks when Eagles are free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thursday night at IOW fits well and with good organisation Tom would be available for all IOW home matches and away Saturday's could be arranged for weeks when Eagles are free. It would certainly be a strong benefit for both sides if a tie up could be reached BUT IOW are their own people and im certain they have riders in mind they would like next year (although Brennan, Brooks & Edwards would all flourish there). The latter two are certainly likeable riders and im certain Brennan is although he has started to show a petulant streak that would not fit well with the the Warriors ethos. However given the potential lack of clubs and therefore surplus of riders it may well be the case that doubling up/down from the NL is outlawed at the AGM this year?

Bluenose 74 Posted November 19, 2018 Quote from Alex Harkness on the Edinburgh Evening news site . The Championship division next season will boast 12 teams including Leicester and Somerset, who have dropped down from the Premiership and will be joined by Eastbourne and Birmingham, who move up from the National League.Read more at: https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/speedway/monarchs/edinburgh-monarchs-chief-s-vow-after-points-limit-is-slashed-1-4831611 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teaboy279 1,038 Posted November 20, 2018 Don't know why either club is waiting tbh, everyone knows who it is. One issue I take from that article is around cost cutting, surely the same amount of points are on offer, so even than average was 25 points, the winning team is still gonna score 46 points plus. Any other signing on payments etc are entirely at the club's discretion, so they will still spend as much or more then they can afford to get the best riders to fit the new average. The only way to reduce costs for clubs is to reduce costs for riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
