We'll get another '2 week delay' this time next week... But don't worry once that 2 week delay is done, there'll be another 2 week delay. Wonder how many 2 week delays into the season they can bulls hit us with until people start to realise...

Don't hold your breath... we've been waiting for news everyday for the last 3 months 🤣 I'm sure everything is fine but who knows when we're actually gonna find out

They really need to announce something soon just to shut some of yous lot up 😅 this is getting worse by the day

Retired at the end of last season

Nice to hear some info from someone who's actually involved and knows what's happening and not just someone not in the know who makes cra p up to make themselves feel important... Thank you

No they wouldn't, all fans truly care about at the end of the day is winning... The vast majority anyway. You're not going to get numbers through the door because there's a team of developing riders if they're getting battered every week, it just doesn't happen.

Wouldn't both come in on 7.50? Or perhaps even 8.00 for GP riders? Or have them figures changed for this season?

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
