speedwaylover18 0 Posted January 31, 2011 Spoken with Steve Mallett and they arent DEFINATELY running in the NL in 2011, he still has to make a decision before tomorrows meeting. It is not a forgone conclusion that the Hornets will be in the NL. It was put on the Official Site earlier but has now been removed because somebody jumped the gun. Any news on this meeting? I hope they make the correct decision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrystalCastles 292 Posted January 31, 2011 Pleased Any idea what Jay is coming in on anyone???? One would assume Kurtzy will be riding again.Which would be an awesome top two JWW & Tom Young would seem likely too. Who Else though? Pickard, Webster/ A.N. Other???? Plus 1 other??? Any ideas.

Jay & todd kurtz would make an amazing pairing to be honest! I think JWW and tom young will defientlely be back not sure webster will be riding as he is plymouth no8. Only time will tell lol, in for a great season I think! Will the race day be on a friday evening or sunday ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrystalCastles 292 Posted January 31, 2011 Will the race day be on a friday evening or sunday ? I hope they go friday evenings & use the bank holiday mondays personally. Anyways massive thankyou to the Malletts for keeping us going in the NL in 2011 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be a great season with the right promotion we should have great crowds too Think the only problem with what you suggest may be the cost of admission,for example,if the Hornets and the Wasps race at home on the same weekend,that`s very nearly 60 quid gone in admission alone,that`s I hasten to add are my circumstances. It won`t stop me from going,but it may put some people off with similar admission costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully twice weekly matches will be kept to a minimum. But whatever day of the week it is, if it runs twice a week it will have the same effect, the people who couldnt afford to go last year wont be likely to be able to this year . My preference for those days is because im 22, im in uni & im off on fridays. Im fortunate that i will most probs be able too cos im a student, & even if i couldnt then my dad would probs pay. Hopefully they have got a plan in place because i know a few people already have seen the PL prices and gone ouch, but ive said on the PL thread about what people perceive as Value For Money is what is the factor in the decision not the outright increase in cost. And IMHO they didnt have a choice as a business. Having studied Business Studies/Economics & Accounting i can see past just the increase. For an Adult in comparison to last year in match terms at PL level it would take you until your 14th home meeting before you lose a match compared to last year. Hopefully the increase in cost for PL prices will be compensated with the hornets, or they can come up with a discounted price for attending the NL match as well as the PL, etc. They actively promoted last year after we were saved i hope that continues.

montie 1,273 Posted February 1, 2011 Strong looking top two from the hornets for 2011,what i dont understand is Mallet say he dont know if the Hornets are running due to cost of it,then sign what i would imagine to be two rather expensive riders??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kurtz will be no more expensive than last year at NL level, or any increase wouldnt be that significant. Herne logically i would say yes. Awesome looking top two Edited February 1, 2011 by shirlmeister general Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel 26 Posted February 1, 2011 I can't see Todd being all that expensive as he isn't going to be riding NL for anybody else. Jay, maybe, but any more so than Tony Atkin and Kyle Newman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
