It’s all well and good saying have a 7 man premiership but where are the good enough riders going to come from to potentially make Eastbourne competitive? Northampton didn't have a number 1 this year, Holder got injured and they couldn’t adequately replace him. Birmingham had a rubbish team and Northampton wasn’t much better this time around and yet we want more teams in the league? Seems crazy to me just to make the numbers bigger.

He was at Vojens the other week I had a quick chat with him at Stansted 

I agree technology should be used wherever possible to increase the chance of fair play and reduce the chance of rule breaking wherever possible. How long have Poole's start marshalls been using headsets.?

Wouldn't of picked up on Cairns tyre warming. If the ref sees something just put red light on.

I think the forthcoming promoters' meetings should address why all tracks haven't got radio communication between the ref's box and the start marshalls (unless thats already a rule), That could/should deal with all starting issues on the spot! Or is it because that isn't in place at the BSPL Chairman's track?

The Ekstraliga have announced details of a 3 year agreement between Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain. Highlights are: A rider with a contract in Poland will be able to participate simultaneously in a maximum of two of the other three national leagues covered by the agreement. Great Britain – league matches are scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays, Sweden – on Tuesdays, Denmark – on Wednesdays, and Poland (PGEE / M2E) – on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The rules regarding youth riders will also change in the top leagues in Sweden, Denmark, and Great Britain. The team must include at least one domestic U21 rider, and the second can be a domestic or foreign rider. Additionally, the British federation ACU will give its riders permission to compete abroad only if they are also competing in the British league. This means that, e.g., Robert Lambert or Daniel Bewley, competing under a British license, will need to have a contract in Great Britain to compete in Poland and other foreign leagues.
