KIRKYLANE 534 Posted November 22, 2017 Are Kent moving to Friday as Monday's are now Premier League ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 22, 2017 Are Kent moving to Friday as Monday's are now Premier League ?no way would Kent go up against lakeside on Fridays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,061 Posted November 22, 2017 Are Kent moving to Friday as Monday's are now Premier League ? Ridiculous if theyre forced to do that. There would be more clashes with Championship clubs on a Friday, than with Premiership clubs on a Monday. Regardless the fixed nights was to avoid clashes with the Championship, not top flight & NL. Like BV Colts should still be allowed to use Wednesdays. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaboy279 1,038 Posted November 23, 2017 You have to remember that the AGM had no consideration for the National League, so it's far to say that only the other "Profesional" league can't use those race nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted November 23, 2017 With the number of doubling up riders & championship meetings moving to Thurs,Fri,Sat & especially Sundays the inclusion of riders like Bowen who is focusing on NL only is a major boost to any side. Whilst necessary for riders development i think promoters need to be sensible about the number of doubling up riders that are included in any one team otherwise we will be plagued with another season of relentless guests & RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until Kent show some ambition,I will not go. Cannot believe next year will be their sixth season and still scratching around in the third tier. When they started I thought two or three years before a move up.... but no. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I much prefer the NL and am glad Kent are staying put. I certainly wouldn't attend as much if they went Championship or above. The club still remains sustainable with good crowds at NL level and in the current climate i feel that is far more important than climbing the leagues for the sake of it.

Respect your view,we just differ in how we see it. I went regular for the first three or four seasons. But NL Speedway is a mixture of seasoned riders that are comfortable in this League/riders starting off... some go on and others do not. These riders have older equipment which means problems with bikes and others make mistakes which means delays galore. I went to two or three meetings beginning of 2017 and they went on forever!!! To me Club will not move forward until someone does not CONTROL everything. Track still needs a vast improvement. I know the curfew does not help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Birmingham, the matches run much more quickly in the NL than they used to in the PL/EL days. Edited November 23, 2017 by *JJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GiveusaB Posted November 23, 2017 Eh? In Birmingham, the matches run much more quickly in the NL than they used to in the PL/EL days. Ive noticed that it depends on the weather? i.e if the track is slippy, due to the in experienced riders, there are a lot of falls/re-runs. As for the previous post of 'standard' of racing? I'd much prefer 'us' (B'ham) to be in the championship. One of the best meetings at PB last season was the end of season match against Coventry and that was only a challenge match. I know the guys have got to start somewhere, but there are only 1 or 2 memorable races per NL meeting, (imo) I attend because I'm a Brummies fan, its certainly not for the product these days!
