cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 23, 2017 The track improved greatly at Kent towards the end of last season. Whilst the curfew and uncle Len are in place, I can see the kings staying where they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueherb777 571 Posted November 23, 2017 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! Nice to see someone sees it the same as me. The best meetings I watched in 2017 was from the Swedish League. Top riders in every Heat,so you could not predict the result and close racing.

Sings4Speedway 3,246 Posted November 23, 2017 I have to admit i would be very interested to see what higher calibre riders would do around the Kent circuit? A British semi-final for example especially on a bank holiday weekend could be spectacular 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whistlegang 88 Posted November 24, 2017 Oh how I love the NL....... not. 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. So that's 6 years we've had to put up with all your negative Kent/Len comments lol. Hardly any of the Kent fans would want to move 'up' anyway. I'd like to see Edwards as one of our reserves but i've a sneaky suspicion that he'll go to Mildenhall... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East End Fan 426 Posted December 12, 2017 I am amazed that Blueherb 777 has the audacity to Pontificate about our sport when he admits he doesn't even attend ! Such people do our sport a lot of harm. While it is far from "perfect", the racing still excites me after decades of watching. And at every level. Must admit to a preference for the National League as I enjoy watching new youngsters progress. My own club, Lakeside, are up into the 2nd Div this coming season. Hope it has the affect of increasing attendances to ensure the continuity of the club. I will almost certainly give Eastbourne and Kent a few visits to keep up to date on the 3rd l;eague 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
