Shame for Jacob as he deserved a decent run in the team. Very much a shame. They’ve stuck with him for so long and starting at the same time as everyone else in a weaker league would’ve probably been a breakthrough season for him at Central Park. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted February 25, 2021 No personal offence to Josh Warren but he is miles off weakened NL level. Just shows if you have useful mates abilty doesn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mulford earnt his place with previous showings and hopefully has had time to sort out some decent bikes. Bursill has had several chances and gone nowhere so this year looks make or break and warren is nowhere near the NL weakened level and lacks the basics that will keep him and others safe, i don't blame him for taking a place thats been offered (although it could tarnish his record longer term) i blame Len & Chris for tracking the rider in the first place. I bet James Laker is fuming & quite frankly Rhys Laker could be a bit upset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You maybe right about Warren,but sounds like they were forced to go for him instead of spooner? Does seem strange that Kinsley is at KL....and NL!!!!

Makes sense with such a reduced fixture list its reduced to just a hobby for some although Jenkins with a NL+CL place and still working will be hard on him. Not seen any news on the admittance yet but a hard sell to get £15 for a less than £10 team.....going to likely boost the Kings attendances though so maybe the masterplan will work after all.

Personally I am really interested in the Championship team.I have been calling for years for higher grade Speedway and there is some decent riders to see. Got fed up a bit with watching wobblers every week and the delays this caused. Still think this year is about getting the sport going again...much more than winning things. Agree about admittance....this NL team is no more than £10....but glad to pay whatever to see Scotty & co against decent riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree about admittance....this NL team is no more than £10....but glad to pay whatever to see Scotty & co against decent riders. Ive always felt the NL had more to offer than the higher leagues and could/should offer a closer and more entertaining level of racing, fallers will be more frequent but the wobblers shouldn't have been there and that is solely the fault of the promotions tracking riders who are not proficient enough. The CL has its own faults and the divide between grades of riders is still high Crump, Nicholls & Schlein vs Alcock, Jenkins etc is going to produce spread out racing but at least there is the track craft to admire of the old hands so am more likely to pick the meetings when interesting visitors attend. For NL i have zero motivation to watch any of it anymore buty i will try and drag myself to Mildenhall to offer some support and get a view of the rookies i have yet to see in action first hand.

Where have they been racing ? Are they part of the new stars scheme ? The only Warren that sticks in my old mind is the Graham Warren who rode years ago for Birmingham and nearly won the Word Championship, an Aussie I think. Is this lad ( is he a "lad "?) related ?
