Have Edinburgh forgotten that they have an NDL team?

Danny Phillips, Tom Woolley and George Rothery haven't been signed anywhere else, so it seems a near certainly that they're back.  Would expect the Millars back too, so why can't they name those 5?

They need a heat leader, and Willie Lawson would fit the bill.  Alternatively maybe Benji Compton?   Either of those would leave room for a sub 5.00-pointer like Josh Embleton.

What's taking so long?

Likewise im expecting almost the same team as last year. Number 1 between Lawson or Mulford and potentially RTD for the final place?

Can't imagine Mulford wanting to make a 800 mile roundtrip to a weekend track, when he could be cleaning up in the local weekend grasstrack meetings.

Quite likely. Maybe Mulfords dalliance with speedway is over? Unless a midweek gap opens up during the year i can see him drifting away. Maybe he achieved as much as he was going to anyway.

Maybe not the right thread but is there any money to be made at grasstack at Mulfords level, or is it just the excitement/adrenaline, plus a chunk towards the costs ( or maybe fund it ) and be able to work during the week?

In reality no but equally theres not really any money to be made at NDL level. Grasstrack doesn't quite demand the level of kit to be upgraded as regularly and engines are not quite so one track focussed. Plus as covered no time off in the week needed for rider plus drivers/mechanics. Theres also the knowledge that he is in the top 16-20 grasstrack riders in the UK whereas he he much lower than that in Speedway terms.

Unlikely as he's signed as the King's Lynn number 8.

......and exactly how many rides a season will a PL No. 8 get per season ?

Possibly none, but he wouldn't sign for Lynn if he was planning to drop Speedway for Grasstrack
