May 1, 38.50; June 1, 39.00; July 1, 39.50; August 1, 40.00. 3 hours ago, arnieg said: Completely logical (although it really ought to go up gradually to 42) as it reflects the fact that riders averages will go up because of the low starting limit. 2 hours ago, crescent girl said: Agree on logic, but remember Ht 15 scores will skew a team's averages a little. 42 isn't a true team total. The gradual month-on-month upping of team averages will help teams who feel a need to make changes, but having a low starting-point each season will keep team-building costs down. Which is a good thing. Riders averages will not go up until June 1st at the earliest as hardly any league meetings will have taken place in April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bomber75 11 Posted February 3 Sorry to say but the 7th rider announcement dragged on too long now people are getting bored with the uncertainty, you can see that by the number, or lack of posts recently. I know some posters will say plenty of time yet but the clock is ticking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bomber75 11 Posted February 3 True but the doomsday clock is only at 90 seconds to midnight so 2 minutes is a luxury world will end before the signing , Only joking but just getting frustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can they announce a signing if they haven't made one? I'm sure once they have made the signing and it's confirmed by the BSPL, then they will make the announcement. It will be as frustrating for the Promotion, as it is for the fans, I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the six named riders are all good to go I suppose the worst case scenario is we have to sign a 4.5 / 5.0 rider which will mean we start with a weak team on paper, as long as the signing has improvement potential thats ok but we dont want someone just to make up numbers, Im sure the promoters are trying their hardest to ensure that isnt the case.
