Garry1603 353 Posted September 27, 2022 So, who do you think will return for next season? Assuming the rules stay similar of course. I'd want to keep Fricke (if he rides in the UK), Kurtz, Brennan and Blodorn and maybe make a move for Ellis if he were surplus to requirements at Sheffield. Presume that Zagar might be too expensive to return which leaves Wright and Etheridge as options depending on the average limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should stay The opinion seems to be that it’s not now needed, with far more options apparently being available to clubs this time around, married together with an increased points limit. Could see some pretty strong looking line ups next season, compared to what we’ve seen in recent years anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as always the BSPL promise so much in the build up to winter only to fail to deliver so we will see what happens. But I do hope the rising star stays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could see some pretty strong looking line ups next season, compared to what we’ve seen in recent years anyway. Seems like they are trying to put bigger gap between the two leagues, with talk the Champ team ave is going down. Are they trying to phase out doubling up over a few seasons? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,227 Posted September 28, 2022 Rising Star will stay imo just for cost cutting measures. Scrapping it means a higher wage bill and some clubs struggle as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would expect big improvements from the bottom three, especially Lidsey. So what sized league are we to expect? Just hope it's at least eight. Is Oxford expected to come up?

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted September 28, 2022 It needs to be eight at least really. Oxford have announced they are staying 2nd division but hopefully a couple of others might step up......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
