Tsunami 10,219 Posted November 1, 2016 So Lakeside are the first 2016 team to drop out of the EL for 2017. Watch this space then, but looks as if the "rumours" at Hoddesdon in August may have some basis now. Somerset and Rye House to go up, but not Glasgow.

Baldyman 6,243 Posted November 1, 2016 Could be interesting as don't Poole and Somerset normally share riders?? Or is it Somerset and Swindon?? I bet Somerset put together a pretty decent team cos riders will want to ride the track, could the same be said of Rye house??, not so sure Nicolas king and Kennett at Rye???

Arch Stanton 2,280 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Listening to Jon Cook's interview they're hoping to run PL if not NL depending on a few factors. Would be great from an Ipswich point of view to welcome them in to the PL as we built up a healthy little rivalry in our EL days. A Good Friday fixture against Lakeside would do nicely.

IpswichDave 10 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) http://www.ipswichwitches.co/story/witches-to-ride-in-sgb-championship-in-2017 A new name for the league Rye & Somerset go up 40 pt team limit Still have to have 3 pt young Brit Only 4 teams in playoffs 36 league matches vs 24 last year I don't know enough about team building to tell how life changing a 2.5pt reduction on the limit will be...

Alan R Horne 33 Posted November 3, 2016 36 League matches how will these be made up of then? 40 point average will not make a huge difference. Do anyone know who will be competing in our league whatever its name is? King and Hume are a must next season so cl get them signed pronto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
