Personally think it's going to be beneficial in the long run

I'm guessing at inclusion of 125cc/250cc heats (like the Northern Junior League)

Might need to switch to 4TT format (like German Team Cup and Sweden Lge 1 who both include 250cc heats)

No don't think so even though I do believe the inclusion of 250cc riders in the scunthorpe Leicester challenge last year was a success. Think it's more on the structure and make ups rather than capacity of the machines

with a lot of the top NL riders maybe riding in the top leagues think they might drop the team ave to bring in more lower ave riders

Dropping capacity wont work as you cannot sensibly supply enough riders from the youth classes across the league plus the majority of the teams are run midweek.

I hope its a cap on the top riders averages creating more strength in depth sides as just reducing the team build averages artificially inflates the averages of riders and creates the impression they are better than they are.

Is this statement definitely correct? Just wondering. Also it would be amazing if any speedway AGM, pleased everyone. And if it is being kept secret, why?

Just hope there is an NDL as it's being too quiet and worries that it might be just a second half for the PL Clubs as that was planned for 2020 initially.

Hope the news will come out quicker than the Fixtures for PL/CL have!

NDL riders above reserve level were never going to do the PL 2nd halves and why would they. Little or no money, little or guarantee that the meeting won't be binned if the main event over ran, limited benefit other than additional track time. Only emerging amateurs who were desperate to put themselves in the window would put themselves through that kind of torture with limited opportunities of progression.

Kent's traditional curfew call offs might be harder to stomach at £20 a time. I always felt speedway would be in trouble when the price increased to over a pound a race.

Maybe they are introducing the use of uprights and veterans to make the numbers up - the likes of Wayne carter and Gary o'hare can still go at a fair whack .

Kent already have Ledwith & Hurry in their plans so a few  more won't do any harm. In hilarious contrast to the upper two leagues (who think so highly of themselves that they seldom reference the NDL) the introduction of a minimum age limit. All riders to be 25 and above, no exams etc to worry about and bonus points offered for any side with a combined age that exceeds 220.
