  1. But the difference is Ipswich Town will benefit from at least £38M just from Tv money alone per season and this doesn't include merit payments every time they are shown live. Comparing speedway with football just isn't cricket 🤪
  2. 3 leagues Premier League - New team plus a championship team going up as the powers to be want a top league or they won't get TV money. Championship - as is(ish) NDL/NDT - to be North and South.
  3. Hence why it should NL North - Workington, Edinburgh, Middlesboro, Belle Vue, Sheff/Scunny and NL South - Plymouth, Kings Lynn, Oxford, Leicester, Kent, Birmingham. Would make far more sense in respect of travelling. I understand that riders can double up anyway, but then that is down to them. Although a paltry amount is paid to the riders for travel, it makes sense to make it as affordable as possible on all levels. And as I have stated before, I'm not sure why Rev limiters need to be a compulsory item and why U16's and NDL/NDT riders need a silencer less than 4 years old when they haven't materially changed since 2015.
  4. Rev limiters are just daft to be a compulsory item - The engines on track are around 11K and the rev limiters are set at 13.5K. The damage to engines is being done mainly on the start line. Riders only have themselves to blame if they like starting with the bike bouncing off a limiter. With the 250 lads we have been recommending a completely different set up to the normal as the 250 lads and lasses are bouncing off the limiter halfway down the straights. The amount of excuses we get from dads of the riders saying but they need to rev more etc etc!! The silencer rule I can understand for Prem/Championship but not for U16's and NDL/NTL as the silencers have not changed since 2015. The only difference is going to be a date stamp. Lots of perfectly good silencers will now go in the bin. RRP of a silencer is £270, so if 2 are needed then that is £540, then the cheapest way to get a rev limited set up is with a PVL system which if you already have, you only need to change the coil, but these are £170 each so another £340. I fail to see how this is helping riders keep costs down when both of these requirements are not really needed. Also, I know that there is currently a shortage of King Silencers as they just can't keep up with demand, so what happens then? Pretty much every rider here and abroad uses a King silencer. There are other makes but these are just not available.
  5. Why didn't they do a north south divide? Would make more sense for travelling-but hey ho this is speedway
  6. Dan asked for number 6 money. Not Holder/Woffinden money
  7. Maybe "A Christmas Carol" and Bates as Scrooge would of been a more fitting advert 🤔😂
  8. When has he ever said that? I think you are either on a wind up or full of "clutching at straws"!!!
  9. No, I didn't say you did (copied wrong part of message-sorry) I was trying to re-affirm what you had said. I know 100% that Kent riders are paid and others on here either have an agenda or just like a no fact sh*t stir.
  10. Yes very bad wording as Dan only ever rode in one competitive meeting on his 250. As for treading water, Dan chose to finish his education before fully committing to NL speedway! As Skydog said, Dan rode in the SDL when he was old enough in 2017 and then had a year in the MDL/SDL (2018) to further his riding development whilst studying and completing his education. And although every speedway will fall off from either being knocked off or from a mistake they make, I'm not sure where you got "mechanical gremlins from" as there hasn't been any with the 500 machinery.
  11. ALL THE RIDERS OF KENT KINGS GET PAID ON THE NIGHT AFTER EVERY HOME MEETING
  12. Track address is: Belgar Farm, Romney Road, Lydd, TN29 9LS. Practice booking number is (Angie) 07908 972097. Track manager Malcolm Smith 07870 471770
  13. Does anyone have any knowledge of when tickets for the match at Wroclaw (on 9th July) will go on sale? It is the Sunday after the World cup at Leszno so I want to be able to book tickets asap and this is the only Extra liga fixture that weekend from what I can gather. I have tried www.wts.pl but there is nothing on there at the moment. Failing that does anyone know any other meetings on that Sunday within easy travelling distance from Wroclaw.
