Decent enough nickname. Royals doesn't sound too silly, and ties in to the Kings name. "Kent Royals" is OK. However if the team had been in Sussex, there might have been some objections from the very top! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee jay 234 Posted February 26, 2020 personally i have always thought there should be a strong link between the names of any senior and junior sides , was delighted when the mavericks became the hornets , but i also like the alliteration side aswell so luckily for you kents fans i'm not in charge as they would have been the kent coronets .

East End Fan 426 Posted March 17, 2020 Very interesting how up to date this thread is. Been through every team on the NL thread and not a single mention of Coronavirus ! How out of date is that ? No Speedway at least until mid April, and maybe not then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The virus should start diminishing by about July/August so, with any luck, there will be a few meetings before Winter sets in...that is my hope anyway.

Rebel1 72 Posted March 24, 2020 Even if racing does go ahead I wonder how many fans would risk being in close proximity on the terraces? I would be doubtful of the virus being eradicated even when the powers that be say it is safe to proceed. Hong Kong thought it was clear and then it erupted with 40+ cases last week. They have closed all borders now but here we still keep getting immigrants crossing from who knows where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
