Bain must have robbed a bank.

Any rider who is doubling up for two of the teams in the play offs could wear "half n half" kevlars and helmet colours, with one side his Premiership team and the other his Championship team.. His scores each race would also count equally for both teams.. As pretty much most, if not all, the Championship winning team will double up with one of fhe three Premiership teams, it would be guaranteed to keep the scores close too, so a very exciting conclusion to yet another season of top class entertainment...

How many times did we hear Tatum & co last season more or less saying that playoffs is the real part of the season? In that case, just skip the majority of the season and stage playoffs in October between 4 clubs who want to and able do it. Leave team building until September with a high points limit so that riders no longer involved in Poland and Sweden can make a few extra bucks. Call it the Bet Victor Super Series, get it onto YouTube tv, with 'Arry and Phil fronting the whole thing. Sorted!

If you can get a decent reserve in like that Kilma (think that's him) on a 4 but who more likely will be a 6 point man when dialed in you won't lose many matches at home. I do wonder if that young yank Slater Lightcap could be worth a go at Plymouth.

I'd say we are actually looking at 5 steps back right now with the prospect of 2 forward again not guaranteed.....

If it was just over 40, Vuolas instead of Batchelor, so it fits? But can't see Andersen signing, unfortunately for British Speedway. Would be a brilliant team though!
