Let’s hope all 7 PL teams can find enough riders to reach the new points limit 

With the stronger riders that have returned  imo the limit needs to be higher and the RS removed 

Can see the 6 and 7 being seriously out of their depth

I’m sure the fans will come flocking back to see guest fest.Interesting times.

[poole keith 912]

I suppose teams will now be able to  bring in specialist guests for second strings at tricky away matches ,also I'm not overly confident about clubs sticking with the youth development programme, It will be  interesting to monitor how many blank weeks we have at Poole??

*TRANSFER WINDOW: The traditional end-of-August transfer cut-off has been replaced by a transfer window, which will close when a club has completed 75 per cent of their regular league matches.

This is idiotic, they have created a situation where every club could have a different closure of their transfer window creating an advantage for those who have a late window.

"Traditional"

 

A tradition dating back to 2022?

You'd assume Leicester as Cairns has taken over

Ones that can afford to lose money I reckon.

Mildenhall and Kent hopefully. 

Edinburgh, Leicester, Scunthorpe Stags, Oxford maybe??

Four out of six and wasting your hopes on the other 2,  perhaps 1 current NDL Team and a new 1 will make up the 6 and I suspect it will be set up in order to move out those topping up their wages and allow new riders in.

The rest of PL and CL who havent got a NDL team have to run a Stand alone National Youth Meeting or a structured  youth 2nd half.

You can cross Mildenhall off that list, they have announced that they will not compete in 2024.

Sure more details will come out but basically it’s underwhelming stuff and is more of the same rinse and repeat as we’ve had now for a few seasons. Clubs will inevitably loose money go bust and close again and sadly the sport will continue its slow demise. They’ve spent the best part of a week and imo come out with nothing really new innovative or exciting.

Berwick, Kent and Mildenhall have pulled out which leaves 5.   Add in Scunthorpe Stags (as given away by BSPL website) and your 6 are:-

Armadale, Belle Vue, Leicester, Oxford, Scunthorpe &  Workington.

Those teams that will have to run a structured second half for junior racing will have to pull their socks up.

No long delays to the start of the meeting because of a queue to get in. Unless there's a major incident in the area closing roads etc.

Only breaks in the meeting from the official start time for grading and an interval  or if there's a bad crash etc which we all know will happen at some point.

If they have to re-grade the track after the main meeting, they won't have an interval as well, surely?
