Oh, I thought it was a hip injury? Skidder and SS seem to be coming from the same place. Are Glasgow gonna make changes? I'm assuming Ulle out for rest of the season?

Morley, McGurk, Pearson all reserves. Etheridge started the season there. Lambert (?) and Hume have been there. Shocking.

No point in a double change as would need to drop the averages back down to 42 or whatever we started with. Had a suspicion a certain Mr vissing might be used for ulle but not sure his status, 28 day must be up now?

Not sure about changes, not many available riders out there, depends how long both are out for

Presumably klindt could do both leagues now he's free from Poland. But only if Craig is injured I'd go down that route

Birmingham could have signed replacements ages ago, just makes a mockery of the tournament when some teams are so weak. 

Thanks to several  teams the whole league has been a mockery this year and I can't see next year being any better.

The only way the sport is going to regain any credibility, in my opinion, is to go back to a single league of a decent standard with no doubling up (or down) and teams that can't attract riders amalgamate with the NDL and hopefully bring up the standard and give young/new riders more experience.

Yes I can hear riders saying they need two teams to earn a living but back before doubling up diluted the sport world class riders rode in BL div 1 for one team only and earned however they could.
