Racin Jason 72 1,283 Posted October 31, 2021 Dan gilkes has posted on his Facebook page that he has been informed be Len silver that Kent won’t be running next season. Anybody know anything more ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glenantony 52 Posted October 31, 2021 Really hope this is an early ugly rumour - apart from losing another team/track, on a personal note I've really enjoyed my Tuesday trips from South London this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinh88 571 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Sadly I don’t think it is reading Dan’s Facebook. He said, “He found out by email.” which is always a classy way to operate. Hopefully all of the riders get fixed up. Sad news though. I loved my visit to Kent. Edited October 31, 2021 by Robinh88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,022 Posted October 31, 2021 At this rate there will be enough riders for 1 league, commiserations to all the Kent fans, I enjoyed my first visit down there this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted October 31, 2021 More shocking news if true, especially for the South East and London. Wonder if Len could be tempted back to Arlington? It would solve 2 problems and probably ensure bumper crowds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted October 31, 2021 It was always going to be a strange decent to run 2 sides a NDL and a Championship side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted October 31, 2021 If true it must come as a shock to Scott Nicholls as his interview in this week's Speedway Star is all about him looking forward to captaining another Kent Kings 1-7 in 2022!! Of course the email to Dan could also be a (im)polite way of telling him to look elsewhere for a team place!!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lefty 1,266 Posted October 31, 2021 Conspiracy Theory time??? 1) Have Kent been fined for not completing NDL fixtures? 2) Is it house building time? 3) ?.?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted October 31, 2021 Bit shocked really, didn't see this coming if it is true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FishersGate 521 Posted October 31, 2021 Bet it's NDL meeting got called off. Heard it's a 5000quid fine . If true they are probably thinking why bother... shambles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Could it be just the NDL team that hes not running, If the championship team doesn't run does this free up a place in championship now for Wolves if CVS carries out his threat to leave the premiership if its only 6 teams Edited October 31, 2021 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
