cityrebel 2,960 Posted November 3, 2016 Well it looks like it's the NL or nothing for the hammers in 2017. Let's hope for some good news on the clubs future soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted November 3, 2016 They have said there will be speedway at Purfleet next season so it must be NL. I am just very pleased that one of my favourite tracks will still have speedway - and that isn't a pop at the NL. All we need now is Plymouth to confirm.

Ommer Mon 381 Posted November 9, 2016 Brummies, Eastbourne and Lakeside? Blimey. When you fall out of the 'Elite' league it sure is a long way down. All very welcome of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike0310 660 Posted November 9, 2016 The national league is not the one from a few years ago when Plymouth were last in it,it's much better in fact it's the league with most teams in it if we join and lakeside join I wasn't looking forward to it at first but I'm warming to the idea once we are confirmed as starters then I'll look forward to what riders we will sign.

thestevecook 0 Posted November 10, 2016 I would suggest Lakeside will hold meetings on Friday, Saturday & Sunday with the bulk being on the weekends fitting around the Stocks/Bangers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliv Clav 60 Posted November 10, 2016 Can Rob Mear or Paul Hurry ride for the Hammers in the NL? Surely if Adam Ellis was allowed in last year's NL, then they should be able to ride for us. I wonder if we could persuade Ben Morley to join us? Luke Clifton is a former Hammer that may be interested in a return to Arena. Zach Wajtknecht should be a definite, following his acquisition last winter. Jack Kingston is another asset that is likely to be in the line-up. I was really hoping Taylor Hampshire would join us, having been a Hagon Academy member, but King's Lynn have nabbed him . Sam Bebee also progressed through the Hagon Academy. Jason Edwards and Drew Kemp would be excellent signings, when they get old enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted November 11, 2016 But your not allowed assets so you don't have priority on any of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted November 11, 2016 But your not allowed assets so you don't have priority on any of them You can keep assets that you already have. Teams just can't sign new ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex2000 266 Posted November 11, 2016 You can keep assets that you already have. Teams just can't sign new ones. so why did Eastbourne get rid of all theirs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Edwards and Drew Kemp would be excellent signings, when they get old enough. They can ride just on high averages. Tbh i think its best if Hurry keeps away from the shale and i think Mear is treating grasstracks as his priority. Waj, Morley & Branford are all possibilities but Kingston would be a huge liability if included in the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete cc 322 Posted November 11, 2016 Kingston would ride all the home meetings at the weekend, just don't expect to see him away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted November 11, 2016 so why did Eastbourne get rid of all theirs? Wasn't it part of some agreement with Lakeside to benefit both parties. For example Kent kept theirs and Len said so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliv Clav 60 Posted November 11, 2016 Sorry, I haven't followed NL rules for a while. What is the issue with assets that you are all referring to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
