I presume they want you to book your ticket, so they know the numbers for the buffet, but as far as payment is concerned II don't know. The Supporters Club are the ones organising it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Josh, Joe, Archie, Kieran as the second strings/reserves Max Clegg can't do NL as far as I'm aware, same with Connor... Not sure about James? Danny Phillips no thanks, think he'll end up retiring, Connor Coles already rides for IOW. It will be interesting to see who we put together, by the sounds of things Rob has already got a good idea of who he wants... Maybe a few more ex-Stoke riders? Luke Priest, Rob Shuttleworth etc... Would like to see Ben Morley, always liked him as a rider and as far as I'm aware he is not hooked up anywhere for next year yet? Be a great number 1 in the NL Edited January 10, 2020 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted January 10, 2020 1 Ben Morley 9.18 GBR 2 Joe Alcock 4.36 GBR 3 Rob Shuttleworth 6.05 GBR 4 Josh Embleton 4.83 GBR 5 Tom Perry 8.50 GBR 6 Kieran Douglas 3.00 GBR 7 Archie Freeman 3.00 GBR Wouldn't be a world beating side, but it would give a few young, local lads a leg up and a bit of experience... Would be a nice side to watch... Can someone explain to me the format of the NL trophy, how many meetings will there be? Are they full 15 heat meetings? Also will there be a NJL team next year? Or maybe even MDL with Josh, Joe, Archie, Danny being the main four 500s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
