Or as there will be an odd number of home fixtures who gets the larger slice? In reality one club is going to host two NDL fixtures which isn't really enough to generate much interest so i suspect the crowds will be woefully small.

Sorry if I'm being cynical, but the chairman of the board is promoting a club which is going to hold half the development fixtures of any other club apart from Sheffield.

Outrageous, next you will be saying that at the end of the year the Chairman (along with anther powerful table member) will be saying that NDL is unviable at the end of season due to poor crowds.....just wait to the teams are announced and see how many NL graduates feature in each, a fact that is forgotten by many.

Let’s face it, he’s only putting a team in to make up the numbers to keep the NDL going and obviously needed a helping push to do that, but at least that is doing something ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted December 1, 2023 He is not going to make a push for more youth racing then not put a team in given the racing opportunities at the EWR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got to agree. He should be leading the way so I'm assuming he was one of those who were not keen to go down the development road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely he’s leading the way… practice sessions ran virtually 3 weekends a month, amateur meetings regularly, track private hires with many youth/pre ndl riders using the track… this ventures a good move imo and hopefully it works out for both clubs 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
