Starman2006 2,355 Posted September 25, 2015 Ouch, that arm twist by Sky must have really hurt. But nice to see a new club take the plunge and come up.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Starman2006 2,355 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) with doubts over lakeside and swindon, it's a necessity. I couldn't agree more with the posibillity, of only 6 clubs running I thought at least another one more club would take the plunge as well.

mcnabadam 24 Posted September 25, 2015 Great news. Plenty of riders available to them. Swindon have quite a few useful assets who will be looking for a new club. Oh, and Troy as well! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryn 413 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Apparently Len Silver has tonight confirmed Kent will be in the EL in 2016. So who will they sign? No he didn't confirm that! He said the aim is to run both in the EL and PL but clearly stated that, "it's not yet cast in stone." Edited September 25, 2015 by Bryn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB252 1,376 Posted September 25, 2015 Utter madness and a disaster for loyal Kent fans. Why jeopardise your existence and chuck your hat into the ring to try and finish runners up in the 'foregone conclusion ' League? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted September 25, 2015 No he didn't confirm that! He said the aim is to run both in the EL and PL but clearly stated that, "it's not yet cast in stone." EL and PL Bryn, not EL and NL then? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted September 25, 2015 Cannot understand this one. I thought that Kent were governed by strict curfews, and had finish meeting early in the night hence their start time being 6.30. How is that going to work with the SKY coverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reviresco 708 Posted September 26, 2015 I believe that Central Park has an agreement now to also run meetings on Fridays between 6pm & 9:30pm with the 8:30pm curfew still applying to Monday night meetings. On that basis, it would look as though EL meetings could be held on Fridays, with maybe PL (or NL) meetings being held on Mondays. If speedway can be held only once a week at Central Park, does that mean that fortnightly alternate league meetings would have to be staged? And on this premise, does this mean that the Lakeside EL operation will move to Central Park either on a 'stop gap' or permanent basis? Having campaigned previously to have speedway restored to Essex, I hope that this does not mean the loss of the sport to the County once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted September 26, 2015 Ok thanks. Who holds that track record? Would be good to watch the likes of Holder and Iversen around there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
