Maybe the week after, who knows 😅

Will definitely try to make it... if I'm not at work

What average would Mulford be on then? His previous NL average from 2024 or a converted Championship average? Simon Lambert number 1 then 🤣

Is this all fact, or just what you've heard?

I can't imagine running a team at this level is financially viable for any club... but they still do it, for the development of the future. All teams should have some sort of junior meetings, whether that's NDL or NJL/MDL. At least Belle Vue have a stadium already going with the Aces. Unlike say Buxton who are stand alones.

Why do you think Middlesbrough and Steelers want out? Genuine question. Is it costs, politics, track availability, I'm genuinely unsure as I've been out the loop really for a couple season. Thanks

Do we know when the details will be made public? I've always enjoyed attending national league meetings, in fact last season they were the only meetings I attended in the UK 🤔 I guess it'll just be an NDL and no trophy league next year? So out of Belle Vue Colts, Edinburgh Academy, Leicester Lion Cubs, Middlesbrough Tigers, Oxford Chargers, Steelers, King's Lynn Young Stars, Leicester Fox Cubs and Plymouth Centurions, with the potential addition of the Buxton Bulls and the unfortunate closure of Birmingham and Kent. Who do we think the 6 will be? And will there be 2 separate leagues again. Personally out of the teams I've named above I'll be gutted no matter which ones don't continue next season, but I really want to see: Belle Vue Colts Buxton Bulls Edinburgh Academy King's Lynn Young Stars Leicester Lion Cubs Middlesbrough Tigers Oxford Chargers Plymouth Centurions Steelers At a minimum, which is obviously more than 6... Was hoping there'd be some new teams, such as Ashfield Giants, Mildenhall Fen Tigers and Berwick Bullets, crop up too but I don't think it'll happen.

What would Ablitts average be? If its his 2024 average - 2.5% it puts Scunthorpe over the limit.

Polish season usually goes right up to the end of September

Apologies, I meant Declan. 1 Josh Pickering 11.64 2 Declan Kennedy 4.63 3 Luke Harrison 4.98 4 Connor Mountain 5.96 5 Michael Palm Toft 6.10 6 Simon Lambert 4.49 7 Ryan Ingram 2.00 Total: 39.80

Is it not just going to be Simon Lambert and Zaine Kennedy?

Would Mikkelsen come in on a 7.50 (same as MJJ last year) since he's not in the GPs anymore. Would be a bargain average.

So, 1. Brady Kurtz 2. Norick Blodorn 3. Zach Cook 4. Peter Kildemand 5. Dan Bewley 6. Tate Zischke 7. Will Cairns

Zaine Kennedy and a 2.00er fits with 0.01 remaining 1 Jeppesen 2 Kennedy 3 Cook 4 Zischke 5 Batchelor 6 Foord 7 2.00er Personally I'd put Cook at 4 and Zischke at 3 to give a stronger heats 13, 14 and 15, but I don't see that actually happening.

Well no. I wouldn't have thought so, but it's still very quiet? All I've seen so far about the NL next year is Buxton are running and Kent are unlikely... all a bit quiet

Do we even know the whole make up of the National League yet? Which teams are riding? Is there a trophy this year etc? It's being left awfully late this year

I'm predicting the let down bit 🤔 5 teams all with 'junior' teams too to fill in the gaps... Colts, young stars, lion cubs, steelers and an Ipswich side?? To run a Premiership 'junior' league

Having to live in Workington will do that to you

So if a sponsor has pulled out I'm guessing it was a controversial Dane... Marcus Birkemose?

Any updates? 😆 taking longer than the PL...

Ah my bad, though he'd have started on 2.00 👍 I'm probably a few season behind on the rules tbh as I haven't really bothered with speedway for a few years 😆

Fricke 9.89 Castagna 4.13 Harris 6.53 Cook 6.39 Kvech 6.91 Rushen 2.00 Total: 35.85... Isn't the limit 37?? Why go so far under it? Take Castagna out and there's 5.28 left... exactly Kildemands average...? Would be much stronger. Castagna is one of my favourite riders of all time, but he's not that good really!

I'm sure there are promoters 'trying' but in reality... what are the chances? Genuine question? Where are the most likely sites which are actually realistic to be ready in time, bearing in mind it's just under 4 months until the season starts and absolutely nothing is known, not even any rumours leaked...

Surely it's a new team running out of an existing track? I can't imagine a new track is going to pop up between now and April? Unless Peterborough can get up and running?

Is Ipswich not part of the 5? Is the mysterious other team part of the 5 and Ipswich potentially the 6th??
