Old Crusader 135 Posted August 5, 2022 Looks like a real thrashing coming up for the Royals. Won't be a very entertaining match for the spectators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 688 Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) What an insult to the paying public. Kent need to be disciplined for putting out such a terrible team to stop this kind of thing happening again in the future. Yes the NDL is about development, but it's still a product at the end of the day, one that NEEDS fans. Throwing in sub standard riders into the team is just awful and shows little respect for the paying public. Edited August 5, 2022 by Diamonds85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not tht terrible to say be disciplined is over the top, they've got the best no1 in the league a decent no 5 a ok no 3 the rest are reserves which are like most nl teams Most teams get a good beating at belle vue 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You must have had different guests in mind other than the ones Kent have chosen, out of interest who would they have been? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the doubter has been completely unable to name any better guests, I'd say he's been proven totally wrong. Wouldn't you? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can only have guests up to cover whos missing so unattached 3 pointer for Connor at reserve and up to 3.5ish for Halder as non of those were available it became another unattacher 3 pointer. A lot of teams get battered at Belle Vue and the later in the season the visit the more dialled in the home side. Kents full season starting 1-7 may have got 10 points more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, we're still waiting for the moaners to tell us who the guests are that would be better than D Thompson and Blair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite simply put there isn't any d Thompson 1of the best in league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted August 6, 2022 The fact that the fixture was taken and remained in place with the knowledge that Bowtell and Morley would miss it due to Plymouth commitments was staggering enough. Guests will step in and do a job but have no allegiance to the club and no responsibility to help other riders through the meeting. The injuries added to the massacre but it was always destined to be a bashing anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 688 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Wow I'm sorry to those who think I live on the forum and think I can respond at any time any day, it is the holiday season you know. Anyway if yous think handing rides at number 4 to the likes of Dean Douglas is acceptable, enjoy watching more and more embarrassing races. Completely out of his depth at NJL level, nevermind NDL. I know Dean and his Dad relatively well, but to be fair, it's just ridiculous that the rules allow him to ride, it's dangerous and embarrassing to watch.
