ScunnyDan 335 Posted December 28, 2021 As Dan Thompson achieved an average of over 5 in the championship last season (well done to the lad) - is he still eligible for NDL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conveniently the rule for CL averages over 4 has been dropped for the season ahead..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year's rules (and previous) allowed for 1 rider over a 4.00 CL average, so Leicester would have been OK anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freddy Hodder is one for certain as signed for Belle vue not sure on the other but very few riders turning 15 or already 15 before start of season who haven't raced before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That daid i think you are right as points increase will largely see a re-hash of last years lineups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspect that Leicester have done their business very early for both the Lions and the Cubs. I would imagine that running open and private practice days means that both sides are very attractive to inexperienced riders where they can get greater track time than at other clubs where there is limited opportunity to practice. Also it looks like the Gaffer is keeping to his promise to the Fans from a couple of years ago of developing the clubs asset base. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There still is a question though whether signing for a NL club does this make the rider an asset of that club or not especially when the rider is U16 like Ben Trigger,Max James and Max Perry I know there was some confusion last season with a couple of riders as the NL is considered non professional training league and previously riders like Charles Wright, Craig Cook when they rode NL they only became an asset of a club when they rode CL or PL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 699 Posted December 29, 2021 Did Kent have any assets last year then? I thought you needed a certain amount of assets to run, but if last year was their first in the CL, who did they sign as an asset? Could be, and probably am, talking a load of sh!te though Does the Thompson twins, Jamie Halder and Max Perry fit as the last 4? I'm at work so can't do all the sums!! 1. Dan Thompson 2. Jamie Halder 3. Connor Coles 4. Tom Spencer 5. Joe Thompson 6. Mickie Simpson 7. Max Perry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
