Jayne 312 Posted November 10, 2012 Not sure why people think the points limit may be altered as it was agreed last year to fix it at 40 points for three years, mainly to allow continuity and to combat the late start to team building which every club complained about with the AGM not happening until February time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 40 points limit it should be then. Does make sense so you can go straight ahead and start signing your team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As always, Jayne, many thanks for your contribution. I can't help but wonder what the changes are that you, King's Lynn & Scunthorpe want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayne 312 Posted November 11, 2012 As always, Jayne, many thanks for your contribution. I can't help but wonder what the changes are that you, King's Lynn & Scunthorpe want. Can't speak for Kings Lynn and Scunthorpe but it is the costs that are getting out of control and have been doing since the league changed from CL to NL. Not only do riders expect/want more money each year, there are also loan/transfer fees and the usual increases to insurance, BSPA/referee fees. The more money a rider receives in the NL then the more he is going to want for PL/EL so this impacts on everyone and also can prevent a rider from making the step up. If you are earning good money in the NL with no deductions for insurance or Tyres then logically you are going to be worse off in the PL when you have to pay these deductions and may only be getting a small increase on your points money and potentially scoring a lot less points. For some clubs the finances are just not there to meet all these costs and you cannot keep on passing the increases to the supporters especially in the current economic climate. I don't think that this is just applicable to the NL and is something that really needs to be addressed across the board both for promoters and riders. There is no easy answer but the bottom line is we really need as many clubs to survive in all leagues as possible and also make it easier financially for more riders to take up the sport and continue in it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrMungo 708 Posted November 29, 2012 Nielsen, Baseby, Bates & Stoneman so far from what I can tell. Think that comes to 21.90, so 18.10 for the final 3 places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolt 9 Posted November 29, 2012 Who knows Heathen 1984, all the team signings in the NL so far seem to have changed a fair bit. I wouldn't be so sure at this stage whether Jacobs does sign but only time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

21st century heathen 220 Posted November 30, 2012 There does seem to be a bit of mix and match going on this time around. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacobs end up elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
