wait, you want more riders to assault officials?

palm toft cant double up as belle vue already have two double up riders in the top 5. (cook and worrall)

Agreed Rose came on leaps and bounds last year after starting on just a 3 average, and even maintained his scoring at the number 2 position. He looks comfortable on tracks such as Lynn as well as Mildenhall, and should be pushing for an average in the top ten or for the NL for the following season imo.

Rye House? More like bottom 4...

its been called off already.

I think that having 2, three pointers at reserve is definitely needed in the NL, maybe individuals that are new to the league. However, keeping them at reserve all season could be disastrous in this league. It works in the EL because everyone is of a similar standard at reserve, however when you have 3 pointers like lambert and ellis just last year, they could never stay at reserve all season.

ellis and hawkins?

im surprised the points limit wasnt lowered to something around 34-36 for the coming season at the agm due to the fact that so few riders are available for the nl this coming season. If i was in charge i would make it mandatory to have two 3 pointers at reserve, as well as changing the rules to any british rider under the age of 21 to be able to compete in the nl regardless of average. would allow ellis who has just missed out in only his second season of racing to be allowed for at least another year.

Darren Mallett signs

The rule states that the parent club gets priority, but as Lambert isnt an asset of any of the clubs (still an asset of Kings Lynn i believe), i reckon Birmingham will get the priority.

Simon Lambert is in both teams.

1. ? 2. knight 3. mallett 4. ? 5. rose 6. ? 7. bailey

Allen has signed for Somerset

Because its not just a NL list. Its people who have came through the NL.

if he rides for a pl club, yes.

What time does this start?

Likely Line Ups - Dudley 1. Lewis Blackbird 2. Dan Greenwood 3. Ashley Morris 4. Max Clegg 5. Paul Starke 6. Gareth Isherwood 7. Nathan Greaves Kings Lynn 1. Robert Lambert 2. Lewis Rose 3. Darren Mallett 4. Jake Knight 5. Lewis Kerr 6. Shane Waldron 7. Josh Bailey For me this match will be won at reserve, with the Dudley pairing looking too strong for Waldron and Bailey (presuming it is Bailey). Hopefully the young stars will make a fight of it and keep it close. Prediction - 52-40

failed his fitness test, rr at 2.

i thought brady didnt qualify as having uk patriality and therefore isnt eligible to ride in the nl? thats the reason Somerset opted for Nielsen this year instead of him.

So was Lambert at fault for Rose coming off?

So was Lambert at fault for Rose coming off?

That is correct, Wright guested for someone (i think Redcar) earlier in the season but not as a 3 point rider.

i dont believe so. i think its because he has already had an established PL average over 4.

Lambert and Boxall should provide a few interesting heats.

Confirmed now that Jake Knight replaces Steve Worrall.
