Mike.Butler 601 Posted November 26, 2018 is it too much to ask that we have a standard set of rules re tactical switches/replacements etc during matches across all leagues? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted November 28, 2018 Is it a one day or a two day junket? When can we expect press releases, leaks or other informed word of what's gone on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the likes of Dan Gilkes, Dan & Joe Thompson & Chad Wirtzfield. I'm sorry but i couldn't think of any more names so it looks like of all the 8 teams competing in the NL will be on the lookout for the next MDL superstar. No disrespect to any riders with a 5 - 6 average but who will want to pay £12 to watch these riders riding at numbers one & five. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted November 28, 2018 Perhaps Birmingham are one of those "Possibility of further applicants" teams? Nothing else seems to be known about the fate of the Brummies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could even go Premiership lol No-one has said where Cradley will be riding in 2019. I'm assuming that Monmore Wood/Green still has it's restrictions on how often it can stage speedway? Could be that Birmingham won't be riding at all, and that Cradley will be riding at Perry Barr, with the expectation that Brummies fans will convert to the Heathens??? Or not...but definately one or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog 413 Posted November 28, 2018 Can only see the low points limit either forcing the better riders up into the Championship or out of a job completely, or if clubs do take on a Roynon, Bacon, etc, then they have to fill the rest of the team with 4.5ish riders. Makes you wonder where clubs will find all these sub 5-6 point riders... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
