Theres nothing in it if distance from his home to a track is concerned, if thats a factor for Troy. Theres actually about 5 miles difference between where he lives and Workington, or where he lives and Plymouth ! Lol.

Although he was a good rider, I always got the impression that Jonas never "gelled" with the fans, and possibly not with his team mates either. He was happy to turn up, ride, and dissappear asap. Unlike Tate who seemed to like the fans and got on well with them. So to me Jonas wont be riding for us next year.

Klindt has signed for Czestochowa in Poland. The 1-7 picks itself really. 1. C. Wright 2. J. Mulford 3. J. Edwards 4. J. Scott 5. D. King 6. A. Pijper 7. C. Southwick

Totally agree

I agree, I think Cairns would be a good signing for any team & put a point on his average.

Assessed averages often just make a team look competitive on paper.. Everyone knows the reality will be very much different...

The telling factor when it comes to the points limit is the bidding war for Cairns. Logic would state that every top end Club is after the same rider because of a low points limit that would see them end up with an out of depth No.6 if they missed out on Cairns. If the limit was 40.00 for example then Cairns wouldn't be as important as teams could run with a 5.00 Newcomer at reserve for example.

Duplicate post.

Pretty much confirms a 37.00/38.00 limit then as they wouldn't tweet that and then put out a team that's a couple of points under the limit.

Troy to Plymouth??

If the 40 point Championship level is true, then maybe its been done to get more "mid level" overseas riders to come over??. If they double up, (solving a top tier rider issue), they would ride around 70 meetings a year, if they did the UK, Poland and one other league of Sweden or Denmark.. Doing Poland, Sweden and Denmark would only deliver around 40 something meetings.. The top level riders may be able to pick and choose how often they ride, but maybe enough lower level riders still exist who are happy to earn as much as they can by riding as much as they can??

Plus if riders can only ride in two countries then I think Klindt rides in Denmark as well as Poland

I do hope so but then the proposed Northampton septet would be almost 2.50 Points under the limit even if you replace Iversen with an 8.00 Newcomer. 2 Confirmed starters and ITK's are certain on Musielak, Lidsey and Morris which only = 29.72 Based off the Northampton snippets and confirmed signings the limit looks like being 37.00 or 38.00 top whack because they could replace Iversen with Pickering (8.27) or an 8.00 Newcomer taking the team total to 37.99 or 37.72.

I can see Pickering coming in as number 1, he wants that race jacket in the Premiership and unfortunately for him he won’t get that at Sheffield for start of the upcoming season. With a 40 point average could move Musielak to 5 where he’s more comfortable (what an exciting pair for ht13 by the way!), can easily then accommodate Lidsey as third heat leader with Morris in engine room at 4 and Thomson remaining at 2

From a proposed team I was told (not Ipswich by the way) that was built to 40 points for the 6 riders with R/S not included. To have some new riders over in UK who would come in on assessed 7.50- 8 point averages 40 needs to be the minimum to increase the gap between both leagues

If no extra riders want to come over and ride... And some from last season might decide to miss the UK.. You could end up with a lower level of rider in the top tier!! Charles Wright would get a top tier spot next season surely?.. Can't think of too many more of a sufficient level to move into the top tier from the second..

Looks like they had to choose between Dan T and Morris, imagine Thomson is the cheaper of the two also which with state of British Speedway woild have been a factor

Tobi 8.08 Morris 5.67 Lawson 6.63 Thomson 6.13 Lidsey 6.34 Mitch 3.44 36.29 Can't see anything but this team TBH

I do think the limit will be 37.00 as these examples look very realistic to me....The Points Limit should be higher though imo. Also if Eastbourne are running in the PREM then that's another 1-7 that needs putting together which makes me believe that the Points Limit will be on the low side as we don't have enough top end riders to share around. Low points limit at least leaves Eastbourne with potential options like Z. Cook, Nilsson, Lawson etc. BELLE VUE = 36.87 Kurtz, 4.00 Newcomer, B. Cook, Zischke, Bewley, Cairns + Rising Star IPSWICH = 36.97 Doyle, Kemp, King, Brennan, Woryna, Cairns? + Rising Star NORTHAMPTON = 36.83 Musielak, Morris, Lidsey, Thomson, Iversen, McDiarmid + Rising Star

I’d be happy with Jonas and Troy back personally.

It should be a high Points Limit because the CHAMP shouldn't be close to PREM standard like Coleman is saying. Problem is, Northampton's 1-7 very much sounds like -> Musielak, Morris, Lidsey, Thomson, Iversen, McDiarmid and a Rising Star which comes to just under 37.00.

Why is nobody mentioning Jeppesen? Is he not coming back?

GP rider...Wroclaw link...Magic?

Yes but the Champioship won't vote for that as they want their cake and to eat it Less doubling up and/or a change in the multiplier is required There was a plan to move it gradually from 1.5 to 2 but as with so many positive proposals it was soon dropped
