I too think the new points limit makes sense, as it should help create 2 separate leagues as opposed to the charade of the past few years where the same riders compete in both. 6 man teams (as favoured by THJ among others) may also have been an option to help deal with a potential shortage of riders  but we are where we are and if the fixture list is compiled properly we will hopefully be in for an entertaining and competitive season.

It will be interesting to see if anyone goes for a big hitter as that will create an unbalanced team, but who knows, it will certainly heap a whole load of pressure on them to perform each meeting and provide an extra stimulus to each opponent to attempt to lower their colours.

Bring it on.

I think the new point limit will stop teams building top heavy and go for a more equal built team, it worked for us this season.

The reduction isnt so drastuc when you take into account there will be an extra team

Even if you had the same pool of riders as 2018 (there have been a couple of returements) you would need to find 7 more to fill the spaces

If these were 2 pointers the overall impact is to reduce average team strength to around 40

38 therefore is not as huge a change as it first appears

There`ll be two extra teams, rumours suggest Birmingham for certain along with Eastbourne.

2 up to premiership and 2 down to championship cancel each other out.2 new from national league minus arena essex surely means only 1 extra in championship (minus us at Berwick might end up same as last year yet)

As long as the Promoters have agreed not to pay silly money for these sought after riders with "attractive" averages or we will be back in the same boat as before.( wouldn't put money on that happening though).
