Has to be some doubt about certain overseas riders and availability. Already doubt about Nico Covatti in the Kent side I believe. Seems he only wants to race at week-ends in Italy. He would not be the only one, I'm sure, unless there is a vaccine On TV last night the programme about vaccines suggested that clinical trials were already taking place.

I can't see any professional speedway taking place in this country until a vaccine is in place, or the virus is in world wide decline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East End Fan 426 Posted February 13, 2021 Have not heard a word about any National League action at Kent this season. Has the plan to run two teams been abandoned ? Pleased to see some action might be taking place to bring back my 1st love, the Hammers, as reported in Speedway Star. Does anyone on this forum know anything positive about it ?

I am sure the Royals will race if given go ahead. Sure I read that Rob can do the NL but not the Championship? Expect Daniel will spearhead team...also with Mulford and Spooner?

If the NL gets go ahead....Kent must race in it otherwise there will hardly be any Clubs in it...and where would that leave Mildenhall ans IOW? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kent either know their team and the limit has been reduced or know there is no team which would be a huge shock. Its more likely the former as Gilkes, Mulford, Ledwith are all unlikely to be left out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 703 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) As Leicester have announced today there has been a significant drop in the points limit which has meant that Leicester now cannot include Danyon Hume, So Kent and others will be in the same situation and having to drop a rider at the top end of the team and replace them with a 3-4 point rider the idea is so that NL can develop and have team places for youngsters & new starters to the sport.

Everyone is much better informed than I am. But it does look as if Kent will run in the National League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
