Poole will not be required to field a NDL side because they didn’t run one in 2019 so it has no effect. But for Kent/Plymouth it will be a condition of acceptance because if they step up then it would likely lead to the collapse of the NDL league . For the same reason Leicester are running an NDL side in 2020 to keep the momentum of youth progress coming through the ranks & to keep the league alive with only 1 team less then 2019 who sadly closed (Stoke). Are you sure Leicester are running in NDL? THINK you are jumping the gun a bit there, and cradley will not be running Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kent ran two SDL meetings there in 2018. He did and it was an excellent venture but it ran at a loss and sadly since those days the amount of air fence panels at Iwade has reduced to almost zero so i would be very surprised if NL fixtures were run there this season. Plus £5-8 more than enough for SDL but i cannot see people prepared to part with £15 for Iwades delights. That said it is a very useful training facility and Kent as a County is very lucky to have the facilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed the lack of air fence panels when i attended one of the summer sixes events a few months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
East End Fan 426 Posted November 14, 2019 Does anyone know if it is a fact that the Kent link to the Championship League will be decided today ? I had a phone call from a friend who usually knows such stuff, but he was only guessing. I think he said that the AGM was today, but he was not certain. Must be someone on this thread who knows a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabba59 156 Posted November 14, 2019 The AGM is over 3 days , day one was yesterday and the first thing would be accepte Kent, Poole and Plymouth into the championship or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless things have changed, day one is usually attended by 2019 teams and involves going over the 2019 season, clearing up any matters outstanding and agreeing the share-out of any shared events. Poole would attend as a PL team and Kent and Plymouth would not be included. Day two (today) would normally involve business for 2020 and voting in any new teams.

Skidder1 7,632 Posted November 14, 2019 I would think that any proposed 'new' team to a league would want to know the full rules and regs before committing!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Cheese 2,022 Posted November 15, 2019 Given Len Silver's reputation in his Rye House days I'm surprised we've had over 30 minutes since the announcement and his team hasn't been named yet! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what my opinion currently is but im happy for it to be changed. I do hope your opinion of me has changed for the better. Kent accepted, Plymouth declined. Kent will indicate their intention to run in both leagues at the NDL AGM, Which is what Rob Godfrey indicates in his section on the NDL . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueherb777 571 Posted November 15, 2019 Happy Kent at last are in a higher League. With two home fixtures against Eastbourne and Poole.....crowds will be good. Be also interesting to have fixtures against the Northern/Scottish teams. Lets hope Kent build an exciting team to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
