teaboy279 1,038 Posted June 9, 2018 Stoneman has been very impressive this term and must be in the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted June 9, 2018 I agree with Teaboy. I have watched a few Kent matches this year and, apart from having the occasional fall, mostly due to riding too hard, Stoneman has been very impressive. Obviously Bowen is in the top ten list and maybe even Thomas whose performances have been upo and down. On the Kent theme, does anyone know the starting time of the Southern Dev. League match at Iwade next Sunday ? It was originally stated as 3pm but I've since heard that it is 1pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GWC 495 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Hopefully the majority will be full time Championship riders next season! Edited June 13, 2018 by GWC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted June 14, 2018 GWC wants all the National League's top riders to move up into the Championship. I wonder if he'd want that if he was a Plymouth or Birmingham supporter instead of Rye House ? I very much doubt it. No fan like to lose top stars from their team....or the league for that matter. These are the riders who put bums on seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*JJ 508 Posted June 14, 2018 The system in which riders with averages over 4 in the Championship are then ineligible for NL works well enough. As for the riders mentioned, Roynon is on his way down, and Flint is just turned 15 and has no intention of going up yet. Don't forget that there is a big gap between all leagues: an invincible NL no. 1 is a stuggling 3 point reserve in the Champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted June 15, 2018 Well, JJ, I'm not sure that I agree with your view that a top NL heat leader is a "struggling" 3 point reserve in the next league above. True talent will always shine through and there are loads of ex-NL riders who have made it in the top leagues. None the less, it is my view that the present NL is at a lower standard than it should be because of the intervention of the BSPA in setting pre-season points limits at a low level. If they had the nouse to understand that it would be far better for the sport if the NL was as strong as possible, thus training riders to a better level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
