He don't wear shoes just work boots and i do t even clean my car let alone anyone else's

Having spoken to the main man the rider in question will fit into the team as per the rules on the day he is announced. Just hope they don't announce him before they announce the new rules.

Couldn't agree more but can you see Cardiff running as I can't .but let's blame the Bsp it makes for a good story

Thing is it's a training league whether people like it or not and taking time off work for midweek matches is how speedway runs. If it can't be done at NDL level unfortunately you won't manage at championship level either .agreed some will fall by the wayside and others will progress for a multitude of reasons . Those who can fund the development won't leave because of this it will be other influences

Thing is from my experience i dont believe that any of the parents of the up and coming crop of riders who have funded them so far expect for the funding levels to drop just because they are in a paid position. We certainly dont and have had long conversations with others who all believe that funding if development continues will be into the lads early 20s. Personally we have told our pilot that if it isnt covering costs by this time he has to fund it himself or pack it in. Its a development league not fully expensed professional league.

Beer and women

Great signings of two lads with very bright futures

We have one lovely smooth engine delivers the power to the back wheel really well. It's an excellent stepping stone from the 250 as the power is more predictable than the gm. strange how so many were eager to criticise this opportunity when so many think that the iow 2valve challenge was the way forward

Your savage young man

Can't see us replacing Theo prior to the season starting unless like the post above states one of the Scottish teams don't run. Personally think he will do,a decent job especially at home

I do like the positive feeling of the last few comments

Kennedy is on a 4 point average for a reason and to bring him in to replace Jake would be folly. We would be woefully weak and the potential to loose every week at home would bring no benefit to the club. having said that I don't have a clue who could replace Jake

Having spent the last 4 or 5 days virtually non stop with little breaks, I’ve now completed the National ‘Development’ League Fixtures. It’s certainly been a challenge this one has, with it going to be a short season and less dates to play with and trying to please every club by spreading out the away fixtures the best I could. I must thank all 8 clubs for their patience, help and understanding. As stressful as it was, it was enjoyable to do and I’m looking forward to working with these 8 clubs during the 2021 season when we get going in May. A couple of nights even involved me staying awake to between 3-4am, checking dates, availability and clashes and I wasn’t even on nights. Just shows the commitment and time I put into this Voluntary job! I’ll be sleeping a lot for the next 3 days, so no more fixture changes yet please!

like the look at that team and personally hope they use a rider with no fixture clashes instead of bailey its not development if using RR or a guest

Somehow I thought you would be

Maybe but many Chuck their dummies out the pram only to regret it And then ask for it back sooner or later

That's not as I understand it . If you rode at anytime last year whilst holding a licence you have to pay this year practice is classed as riding . If you didn't ride at all I believe there is some form of credit. This may have changed but that was how it was explained to me.

Another good post but some clubs will never be encouraged to give extra track time and coaching to riders . I have lost count of the time's juniors have there spot at the end reduced because a senior wants to test something. He then proceeds to do a start and 20 wheelies. please don't think the current crop of riders and those just behind them lack experience in racing. These groups have been at it for year racing nearly every week at amateur meetings and British youth level . Admittedly some are better than others but that's how things work but I don't see any of the dreaded wobblers everyone is worrying about.

Fantastic post well thought out and a spot on assessment of how it should be

I have no issues with David personally believe his in the pits experience would be good for a young development side. Also hope that IOW supporters don't become bitter towards the league and its riders remember it's your club who have refused to ride thus taking away 7 team spots.

That team is as I believe this league should be several up and coming riders and a couple of experienced ones to pass on advice and encouragement and score a few points. A very similar thing to scunthorpe in 2005 with Wayne Carter as the experience and a load of young lads with limited experience.

im not sure whether it is an age thing or not but to me it seems like a straight swap on potential points scoring ability and like you say Leicester probably wasnt the best fit. problem is with the late changes it was always going to leave some riders high and dry

I have looked at James results and in 18 his average was less than 1 and 19 it was around 2 so personally I can see why a club would give Ben a chance. I'm still quite shocked that it was Ben and not Mickie Simpson

Because it's the bsf and it's the law to embrace negativity and frown upon positivity

Personally I think all opinions are valid don't always agree but there are lots of posters on here have nothing positive to say. Moan about lack of opportunities and the state of the sport then moan about the things that are put in place to help it. Support it embrace it it's easier to smile than frown
