I would've raised the minimum average of foreigners to 5, rather than lowering it to 3. I'd also support Brits minimum average returning to 3, now we have situations where having a 2.25 average loses you a team spot to a new 2 pointer. While I realise that could happen with a 3.25 rider / minimum 3.00 ave rule, feel a 3.25 averaged rider is more likely to get a senior reserve spot than a 2.25 rider ever would.

Fairly sure Pickering will be your number 1. Only option left for him and I just can’t see him doing Championship and giving the Premiership a miss. 

Looks a decent team, stronger top 2 & will always have a strong reserve to take the pressure off Southwick.

Don't forget the league is weaker, building a similar strength team should mean an improved league position.

Because it gives him a season to bed in to British speedway, learn all the tracks before Ipswich sign him next winter.    That’s if they’ll want him of course. I’m sure they’ll be watching his performances closely. 

To us that would mean not Glasgow or Edinburgh, but to him he might have been meaning UK. He wouldn't be the first rider to make that mistake
