THE DEAN MACHINE Posted Tuesday at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:31 AM (edited) On 1/27/2026 at 7:56 PM, M.D said: What they should have done is introduce an 'old hand' rule only one rider that is too experienced for the league per club allowed to pass on their experience down the ranks. I don’t buy into this rule, imo this ageist rule has been a big contributor to the lack of riders in the sport over a couple of decades now, I think the national league should be open to any rider no matter how old or how experienced they be, if they want to ride in it then they should be allowed to, the only thing is they ride for £20 per point and no more and that should be sufficient to limit the number of experienced riders who are just there for a pay day which unfortunately is allowed to happen too many times, it’s an amateur league with too many expectant professionals in it, I’ve been in and around the national league probably more than anyone else, I’ve seen the changes, the rules, the money and the jealousy from the higher up clubs and the riders walk away from the sport and to me we are just doing the same thing and expecting a better outcome but isn’t that speedway all over Edited Tuesday at 11:36 AM by THE DEAN MACHINE 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Think they'd be better off scrapping the word Development word in the title of the league or even going back to the old name of Conference League 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago If you think Simon lambert has raised a few eyebrows in the national league wait till you hear Buxton’s last signing, when I was told who today I thought it was a joke but apparently it’s happening and he has a fair bit of experience at Buxton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) None of the above but we need to attract all these riders back to plug the gap in the rider market but I not going say who has been touted as it’s not my place but I’m told he will be having a practice next week so let’s see,I will say he was the last person I thought it would be I wouldn’t be suprised if it turned out to be wind up Edited 1 hour ago by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
