Ben91 1,743 Posted December 15, 2023 13 minutes ago, Neila said: At the time the decision was made to move up, the NDL did not exist, and people were lead to believe that it would not exist, so it was either move up or run practice sessions, then weeks later the bspa once again moved the goalposts, running a NDL league, now it appears the comets are struggling to get a team sorted, unless the team is nearly sorted and the promotion are just putting the last piece into the jigsaw puzzle I think the goal may have been for a third tier with no standalone clubs for a while. Arguably that has cost the sport Mildenhall and Kent as tracks and forced Workington to move up. Ironically the lowering of the points limit and stricter doubling up rules in the third tier could have made things more viable for those clubs and the likes of Buxton and the Isle of Wight. It would have opened up more team spots for young riders too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H20 48 Posted December 15, 2023 Shame about the clubs lack of social media information. Heard nothing for weeks and the fans are getting worried. I think with the low points limit the riders know they are needed and this makes for higher wages as they negotiate high wages against different clubs. Hope the business plan for the Comets can sustain this massive jump to championship level money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the time we were approached to ride in the Championship, the BSPA or powers to be, told the club that the NDL as such, is being ABANDONED ! So we had the "choice" of not running a team at all, or joining the championship, with all its additional costs. Some choice ! Then "AMAZINGLY"....after we had agreed to join the championship, the powers that be suddenly reinstated the NDL ! Now isnt that just more than a little bit "odd" ???

I’m fairly sure they wouldn’t have moved up if they knew they couldn’t track a competitive team imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The N D L: is now only made up of Premiership and Championship 2nd teams and is going to be at a lower level than when other tracks were involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been a long wait for Comets fans, feel the lack of even a statement from the club these last few weeks has added to the uncertainty (just an outsiders view). Hopefully a competitive team can still be sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
