    Considering the lowering of standards, Brum like Eastie, have little choice but to move up. Kent should be going with them. All three clubs have outgrown the NL.

    Just a thank you to Ged for keeping fans updated with riders/ team manager selections although there is nothing concrete for us to consume at present , it's good to know that things are being sorted behind the scenes and it doesn't take much just to keep fans informed rather than to say nothing .

    I based my team on Berge being a 4 anyhow. Doyle - 9.8 An other - 4.9 (or 5.06 if Adam has a reduction) - Jake Allen fits Ellis - 6.42 (or 6.26 with a reduction) Musielak - 6.52 Morris - 6.60 Zach - 4.26 (he should get a reduction) Berge - 4

    I think you may get your wish of a Zach/Dmitri reserve pairing.

    Completely agree Personally, I can understand why any league would reduce its points limits if clubs were making substantial financial losses or there was an increase in the number of teams. Here, though, to my knowledge only one of the existing teams might be losing money badly and the league is now smaller than before. Given that last season there was a strong movement to increase the points limit (with 10 teams competing) it is most difficult to appreciate why they have chosen to use 36 for 2019. The 36 only becomes 38 for all clubs if 16 2.00point riders are available. They're not, and this only gives more of an advantage to those who are able to pick up one of the more talented youngsters available on that average. People won't be fooled into paying last years prices for a weakened league without many of its top stars, forced up because they cannot be accommodated. In 2018, the NL managed to combine the successful development of some of most capable young riders with accommodating some of the league's crowd pullers - the Roynon's, Morley's and Ayres'. For me, it worked extremely well and I just can't see why that has been changed.

    Definitely won't be Leicester Cubs - there's a Twitter poll and the options are, err, Rapids, Sliders, Broncos, and Magic.

    Really don’t understand the need to add ‘must have been in the CL / NL’. Just give the reduction to all British riders, that haven’t previously rode for another country.

    Sad to see Buxton,the only Team who tried to compete with spirit which the league was set up but were outgunned in the end by glory hunters paying over the odds to riders for success.

    I dont really understand this lowering points to let talent through it seems a load of nonsense to me as long as the points limit is not ridiculously high.If the points limit was say 42.5in the NL do you think kent would not of signed dan gilkes or the thompson twins going to leicester ??? Do me a favour talent will always find its way through.. the low ponits limit just means we have to watch the likes of ryan mcdonald,jamie laker,aaron butcher ,kiearon douglas and joe alcock trail round half a lap behind everybody else ...all a low point limit does is cut out a young decent rider who has done well and make you select a rider who is useless but for some reason the future utter joke.

    Just goes to show that sometimes even the "brighter NL promoters" make a mess of it. The limit has been set to encourage new blood and promote closer standard throughout the sides then they all sneak off and sign one big hitter. I don't like restrictions of any point and upper average limits don't really work BUT if promotions realised that signing balanced sides throughout the league would create a better and more sustainable product over all thing can start to make positive steps forward.

    I have always inwardly scoffed at the people who claim NL to be a ten quid league. With the weakening of the standard for 2 successive seasons the price point really has to be lowered significantly too.

    Alun Rossiter made a similar comment about keyboard warriors. These are your customers guys !!!!!!

    Don't have a problem with Glasgow paying riders exactly what they want, just don't come out in the Speedway Star moaning you are losing money and things can't continue as they are.

    Looking at the rasmas situation i dont want him to go but if he is going up north it does make sence , more money big signing on fee 25 mims from the airport as against 2 hrs 30 but will still be gutted if he dont return !

    Good start to team building for the Robins. If Doyle, Musielak and Morris are your top 3 it's strong and not so expensive in averages. 1. J.Doyle 9.80 2. B.Wilson-Dean 5.14 3. T.Musielak 6.52 4. A.Ellis 6.26 5. N.Morris 6.60 6. Z.Wajtknecht 4.26 7. Stefan Nielsen 3.68 Ave: 42.26 Stefen Nielsen's average will be Championship converted due to not enough 2018 Premiership meetings. I think that above will be plenty strong enough to challenge for the Premiership Title.

    A lot will depend on how the reserves pan out, we have traditionally had good reserves , it will be a big ask to these young guys to step up. In saying that as long as they can achieve their 2 point average , that’s it anything else is a bonus. The top guys have got to get the youngsters dialled in quick to the OTA. I hope Rory is not coming just to see the season out , we need him banging in good scores every week, and tbf in this watered down league he should be able. Harris and Covatti will always give 100% as will Todd. Finally Berge , he “could “ be Gary’s ace, if he can put a couple of points on his average he could make himself next seasons surprise package. First couple of months will be interesting, I am a bit sad that not one of Wrighty, BWD or Jake are back, with only Todd having a full season as a Rebel under him, but there you go I suppose. I hope the OTA faithful down in Highbridge and Burnham continue to support the club, I would love to still be able to go most weeks. As stated previously my nearest track is now 160 mile round trip, not gonna happen.

    Buz would be my choice if we have got the finances to bring in a Pole.

    Last year i hired a car from Arlanda airport and stayed in Uppsala. Less than half an hour between airport and Uppsala. Pretty straight forward journey from Uppsala to track which took less than an hour There is a regular train service from Uppsala to Stockholm too

    I think you'll find that like everyone else the promotion is waiting to see what the NL AGM brings.

    No basis other than end of season speculations fuelled by the promotions press release. I certainly hope they do return to the tapes this year as i have had only good things about the current setup.
