00000 1,279 Posted October 29, 2019 Nothing on Kent website about them going to the Championship and running NL. Strange when they are usually so hot on the PR side of things. What's really happening? Can we expect an official statement soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, why didn't deadpan Derek post the story on the club's official website, Not everyone has Facebook and Facebook obviously didn't think it would interest me, even though I am a speedway fan. However, I don't follow Kent on FB (or in real life) so I am afraid he has missed a trick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Facebook, but I can't see this alleged posting of Kent's proposals for the 2020 season on the club's facebook page. The last posting was at 22:20 on Monday night and was just the scorers from the play-off final. Nothing new on the official website either. And nothing on the official twitter feed @kent_kings All I can see is an unofficial twitter account saying " BREAKING NEWS!!!! Len Silver has announced that The King's have applied to ride in the Championship next season with a WEDNESDAY racenite!! (sic) " A link to the alleged official posting would be good...

If you don’t follow Kent in real life why the hell would you give a toss if it’s on their website or not????????? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple answer: if the news is true, it will be the renewal of rivalry with Eastbourne. Went to Central Park when the Eagles were there in the NL. Living in Australia, you probably don't get the geography of how close the two clubs are to each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted October 30, 2019 This Championship business could possibly be fake....48 hours on from supposed announcement and still no Kent club website update from the most assiduous of club PR men. Who set the hare running? Either shambolic PR or fake news. Hope we find out soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
