secsy1 Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 08:03 PM Although nothing is settled regarding Premiership participation in 2026, the Championship team declarations are well under way. Have any of the Championship sides decided to declare their participation in either Development Leagues so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) I made the comment last year that stand alone clubs should be able to enter both NDL & NDT competitions, with the same 7 riders. Buxton & Kent Eagles for example. Then all the doubling up clubs join one or the other. As long as it's decided before signings are made a rider could choose to ride for Kent (NL) & Kent (NT) or like currently Oxford (NL) & Plymouth (NT) for example. It didn't work with Leicester this year, as they were a last minute addition, so only Sonny Springer rode for both Leicester sides.

Thus making the two , supposedly different leagues, exactly the same ! Whilst I’m all for trying to find ways of getting lads rides let’s try to have some credibility in the sport.

NL, Belle Vue, Edinburgh, Leicester, Oxford, Buxton, Kent. NT, Steelers, King's Lynn, Plymouth, Buxton, Kent. This would give the stand alone teams more fixtures, and the others less fixtures, which should suit both parties !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
