Glasgow with all the money they could need complaining that the 1 rider over 8 rule is unfair.   Scunthorpe who maybe have less money are more than likely going to be happy by this rule. I thunk the rules makes sense to the competition as a whole as realistically to make more teams competing and then therefore elevate all crowds up and down as apposed to just the good ones.    I understand why people may loan at it for the big boys but I think for the league itself it will make it more competitive.

If so good signing for Workington and think that maybe opens the door for Dan Thompson to Plymouth with his brother. 

5 teams is just so ridiculous.....but sadly it might happen..Therefore the sport will continue to go down the pan.  But apart from a handful of fans on this forum, who can see the danger, it will as ever be down to the small majority who have the say on ruining UK speedway via their own views (big mouth promoters and riders) on why it's best to be two small divisions = total collapse.

I expected he would be going back to Oxford as well. But maybe Oxford don't want to go that top heavy as they probably want to keep hold of Mitch, Luke, Jenkins and Gilkes. Not looked at averages but imagine that would be hard to do with Sam and Scott at 1 and 5.  Whether Scott chose Plymouth first or Oxford weren't planning on having him back, it is a very good signing for Plymouth. 

When Newcastle were still running in 2022, during one of our last ever home meetings, the opposition Manager said that one rider over an 8pt average per team would be fairer to the likes of Newcastle as he actually felt sorry for us.  His team had two over the 8pt average in the team at the time.
