This looks a good team with maybe Max perry at number 7. Hes done ok at Glasgow this year.  

Helps when you’ve got a bit cash though lewy doesn’t it. 😉

Not really sure about Douglas as a number one. Rode at 3 all year for Leicester, so avoided the tough heat 13 (obviously rode in heat 15s). His scores at Lynn look pretty decent though, although that was against a team without top end strength. Mind you, it would still give Lynn a stronger number one than their 2025 side, if they can keep the same strength in depth, could work out.

2 BSPL directors (half), Bates and Ford, although they will have involvement as the BSPL Company seems to own most of BSFL.

Firstly, you don't know that ( although I accept you might well have more info than just we common fans) unless you were party to all the arrangements.   I cant imagine that promoters such as the Faccennas and owners such as messrs Rice and Southwell at Belle Vue, all serious business people, have had the wool pulled over their eyes.  Maybe they think, knowing the deal that Speedway Futures has agreed, that it represents s good deal for them all. 

But my point being most of the BSPL members seem to have been cut out the deal and they will have to accept whatever crumbs they are offered
