Royals fixtures published including an away date at Newcastle so looks like they are in the League properly and not just the trophy campaign? With only 3 available reserved dates pre-cut off for two sides it seems a push? and if both teams make the play offs (if they bother with NDL play offs) there will be many fingers crossed for a long dry summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen Luke Harris linked with Kent before. Is that a fact ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted February 25, 2021 That team would take some stopping too be fair and looks much stronger than anything built so far. Not sure if the bridges are still burned for Harris as Len doesn't forgive easily and was upset when Luke declined to be a club asset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree that team would be the team to beat...all riders could put a point or two on their average.Also agree not sure we would see Harris back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted February 25, 2021 I feel Harris is unlikely but equally it would be foolish to release Spooner without a replacement in mind / lined up unless there are multiple changes which again feels unlikely. I guessing as IOW have only just withdrawn it won't be Campos, King and Wirtzfeld deserve a chance somewhere but given the other teams maybe Kent will be bold an add another 3.00 pointer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New faces who have never ridden the leagues before Based upon the MDL averages and riders who have never had a full time team spot the following could all hold their own in the current league and most are higher average rated than others either signed for this season or previous ones. James Laker, Chris Watts, Saul Bulley, Danny Woodward, Luke Muff and James Chattin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Laker, Chris Watts, Saul Bulley, Danny Woodward, Luke Muff and James Chattin So effectively Kent could go with 1. 8.94 2. Jacob Clouting 3.13 3. Dan Gilkes 8.00 4. Jake Mulford 3.00 5. Rob Ledwith 5.93 6. Sam Hagon 3.00 7. James Laker 3.00 Ben Wilson? 8.93... Dunno if he has any connections with Kent. Josh Bailey and Mark Baseby also fit, if they are making comebacks? Hmmm Edit: JACK THOMAS 8.44??? WHAT A TEAM Edited February 25, 2021 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted February 25, 2021 Clouting looking for a team place so wholesale changes are occurring. Shame for Jacob as he deserved a decent run in the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
