szkocjasid Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 While I agree the Lynn team doesn't fit the Young or Development moniker, as long as they are giving developing riders more National League outings than Belle Vue, Sheffield, Ipswich, Northampton, Poole, Glasgow, Scunthorpe, Berwick, Plymouth & Workington, then I refuse to criticise them! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Kings Lynn get fined under Trade Description Act "Young Stars" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They are still developing Binns, Cossey, Huthwaite etc but this is the issue with a too high points limit unfortunately, Lynn have had to sign established Champ riders and old hands to be competitive. Plus I'm cynical about Kennet's motives, no doubt it involves Poole and using him as a ringer. There's only so long British speedway can keep treating its patrons like they're daft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Didn’t think British Speedway could get any lower but it just did. No one believes that Kennet really wants to ride in the NDL for £10 a point, it’s just a move so he can guest elsewhere, we all know where , no doubt the ‘ Young Stars ‘ team manager , who loves a bit of publicity, will be ecstatic he can put Lambert and Kennet out in heats 13 & 15. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlead Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Erik RIss has pulled out again, sadly a recurrence of his illness. Does that mean Eddie Kennett will return to Oxford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its as simple as the need to be competitive. Apparently they had Gilkes signed until he got injured again, got to desperation levels I'd have thought.

RoundTheBoards Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Absolute piss-take. The claimed to have signed elderly 37-year-old Simon Lambert to help coach the younger riders. Will he also be coaching the more elderly 39-year-old Edward Kennett? How are the BSPL allowing this to happen? They raised the points limit, and allowed in old has-beens who are far too good for NDL, so that some glory-hunters can go on an ego trip, and in doing so they make NDL unviable for the likes of Belle Vue, Sheffield/Scunthorpe and Plymouth who actually wanted to develop youngsters. Utter madness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, i supported the Lambert signing as he has links to the club and i dont think its a bad thing having an older rider in the team, this signing is taking the piss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Kennett could teach the youngsters like 33 year old Sam Woods so much 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONTWOMINUTES Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 The national league is laughable, no wonder the rest of the world moves forward and the UK are going backwards faster than an Italian tank in ww2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Next "Young" Stars home match postponed due to stadium unavailability. Do Lynn not own the stadium? Seems short notice. Always feel like the NL get treated like a 4th rate league when fixtures get changed at short notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems short notice. Always feel like the NL get treated like a 4th rate league when fixtures get changed at short notice. As I understood it at the track last night the crowds for NDL have been really poor and with three other events this week they decided to move the fixture to get a better crowd for the restaging, presumably on a week when there aren't other meetings. Nothing was said about stadium unavailability. Certainly not ideal two days beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
