Maybe... However... The Promoters didn't develop enough riders over the past two decades to fill their teams without the DU riders becoming essential... What first started as "young lads" getting a chance to move up a league to develop their skills against a higher level of riders, whilst still having their "other job" to fall bsck on, instead, became the "main stay" of the UK version of the sport, and a "free for all"... Take the DU's away and both leagues wouldn't fill the 14 teams left without using many NDL level riders... The Championship in particular would struggle given these riders make up the majority of their HL's, and, the top tier effectively subsidise the riders salaries so the riders are "affordable"... A typical short sighted unfit for purpose "fix" which each year got bigger and more essential, rather than it ever being reset, and used for what it was initially set up for...

Yes you did, read  back your replies to PhilTheACE.  Your basically stating most Aces fans wouldn't be happy as it  meant signing Kildermand. 

Shame really. Absolutely superb around Northside but his away form has probably left him without a team. I thought he'd be at Scunny for sure.  Strange how he worded his statement though - "change of plan". Wonder if a team, such as scunny, has had a change of heart

Antti posted on Facebook no UK  team place this season.

A track he wasn't get paid at, in a team that was on a downer. Total different environment at belle vue. He was much better at Berwick due to the environment 

Unfortunately the malaise the sport finds itself is because riders like bomber have kept their cash register ringing twice over rather than once!
