Who’s to say Douglas isn’t up to the task of taking no.1? Had a world class season last year. 

Put it like this...   If shale contaminates the doggy sand at Mildenhall, then the dogs will be quickly told to like it or lump it only not quite so politely! If Arc do take over Oxford dog licence and Ownership, I'd fear a similar scenario to Monmore...where the dogs would rule!  

It looks like we are neck and neck with Scunthorpe in the competition to be last to announce the 2026 teams. Just a bit longer and we can win. TBH its boring now.

To me it would be logical to say a Brit who didn't ride in the Prem or Champ qualifies for the reduction. But the BSPL announcement talked about riders returning to the sport, that doesn't sound like the Ablitt scenario.

He froze himself out, in a way!  Declined at least two invitations to ride for clubs he judged "too far north" didn't he?

Same issues at Kings Lynn, not long enough screws
