Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 28 Edinburgh joining the NDL have been the absolute worst, how do they have so much influence? We won't run if we can't have Hook, our teams garbage but if you up the limit a little we can squeeze in a half decent rider. Perry has been available all winter they could have just opted against Watson or Wood. Might not be the ones driving them into the NDL coffin but they have been providing plenty of nails. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No not at all deal for championship was complete before any mention of NDL we like every other rider believed there would be no league. when it was becoming apparent there would be a league he had other offers and chose Scunthorpe/Sheffield as it's not a track juniors to ride very and often the majority of the meetings will be there.

Connor Coles 7.79 Max Perry 7.75 Sam McGurk 6.08 Dayle Wood 4.50 Mason Watson 3.93 Mark Parker 3.00 Kyran Lyden 3.00 36.05 Bit ironic that there is an agreement to increase the team building averages by 0.25 to allow a young British rider the chance to ride this year when there is an Australian in the team. 8f we want to encourage young Brits do we need overseas riders taking places in the NDL? 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will have conceded something for this to come about ! Speedway teams rarely do anything altruistically ! Maybe Poole have been involved. Is he riding for them in the CL and they do have influence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,363 Posted January 28 Nobody is really bothered about the NDL will probably lose them money in some cases.Why did nobody sign Max on his average to start with don't quite get it.will the crowds flock to Armadale with this signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were probably ‘told’ to get a 3 pointer but they had to prove there wasn’t one available !! Then maybe they threatened to pull out ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand they are probably one of the best in the UK for trying to bring up young riders. Started the monarchs academy which now has over 10 riders all from the age of under 10 to around 12 years old. Have two teams in the northern junior league and we were one of the main teams pushing to continue the NDL but apparently we are the problem.
