Reviresco 708 Posted September 26, 2015 As alluded to in my earlier Post #11 then? So that's definitely NL and not PL on Monday nights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted September 26, 2015 Bit of a surprise as its a big step up from the NL to the EL. Nothing is certain yet as Len has said it's an ambition at the moment but it would be good to see a new team joining Just waiting for the brown paper bag to arrive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted September 26, 2015 Rumour is that it isn't the Lakeside EL licence. Maybe Eastbourne's? Whichever it is , this is good news - lets hope it is a sign of a bigger EL for 2016 with more meetings. Wolfie All this, "they're having team Xs" licence makes me laugh. There are not a finite number if licences, if the EL only has 8 teams there are 8 licences, if the EL somehow had 16 teams wanting to take part then you can be use there would be 18. Kent don't have to be using anyones licence, they'll apply for their own and will get it. It's not the 1960s with a full league where you need 1 out for every 1 in.

Alex2000 266 Posted September 26, 2015 Can't rule out Eastbourne going back to EL next season as we have a license and they said last season we could move back up. Not that I want to. I think If Kent go up it will be on our EL license By the way don't get to excited as when it doesn't happen it will be a bigger let down than if you didn't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedibee 3,091 Posted September 26, 2015 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. of course . if only six clubs run there will onyl be 5 to suffer from matt fords cheating , new boys although with a seasoned promoter , should be easy enough to put one over though 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junior fan 132 Posted September 26, 2015 Another nail in the coffin of Btitish speedway unless someone takes over the track job from Silver , people won't pay elite money to see races to the first corner.Be like watching Eastbourne on sky all over again.

flagrag 704 Posted September 26, 2015 Kent will run Fridays instead of Lakeside with some riders moving to Central Park and Sky meetings council will give special dispensation for. Swindon will be at Oxford next season unless late U turn by Blunsdon developers and decide to go ahead and just build the Speedway track without the full grandstand and facilities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wiseguy 214 Posted September 27, 2015 Can't wait personally, elite league speedway on my doorstep, I do worry that if it doesn't work out it could be the end of the kings and thought they would have tried PL first but I think people will come, I will certainly be going more than I do at present As for signings, would love to see 2 of Morley, Shanes or Ayres as 6 and 7 I hope and prey we announce Emil as our number 1, but much more realistically, it could be A.J if he's not required at Lakeside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Junior People pay at Leicester to watch races over after the first bend, not as many fans as there once was but I can't see Leicester running in the elite league next season if they won't budge from Saturday night.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted September 27, 2015 I wonder if Glasgow and Sheffield have had thoughts on moving up? Glasgow in particular seem very ambitious. Both have definitely. Although Glasgow have stated a couple of weeks ago that they want one more season in PL. Lets not forget Rye House either - under new management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
