How about? Max Fricke - 9.89 Sam Masters - 7.28 Adam Ellis - 5.92 Nick Morris - 5.89 Dan Thompson - 5.87 Kyle Howarth - 5.00 Luke Killeen - RS Total - 39.85

Well Birmingham didnt get crowds of 700 except for couple of occasions, Buxton would have derby matches against Sheffield and belle vue and Buxton’s rent is a 10th of Birmingham and also has the catering money which Birmingham didnt, so factor all that in and if they can get the same tv deal that was available this year it may just be a deal breaker

This is really boring right but theoretically the current formula has 4 critical heats (2, 8, 13 and 15) i.e. the heats where the lowest rated riders face each other and the highest rated riders face each other. These are the swing heats. If you build top heavy and are weak at reserve/#2 you win two and lose two of those heats. If you're strong at reserve you win two and lose two of those heats. Therefore, there's two ways you can build a team. Top heavy or Strength in depth. Top heavy has always been preferred because the chances of a reserve improving are much higher than a #1. And it's all about having a team that improves on its starting average. And obviously two riders get 5 rides while the rest get 4. As soon as you introduce a rising star or whatever restriction on the standard of reserves you remove the ability to build a strength in depth team. Therefore the winning strategy is to build top heavy. The demand exceeds supply and you end up paying more for those top riders to fill 1 and 5 because if you don't...  you can't win. I'm not saying ensuring opportunities for young riders is a bad idea but it does rule out building a strength in depth team, which is a shame imo but understandable. But what I am saying is that if you've removed the option of building a strength in depth team you should also remove the option to build a top heavy team. If you wish to have something approaching a level playing field. Unless you allow some flexibility in riding order, maybe, All theoretical of course but if you look at the composition of winning teams this season it supports the hypothesis.  In summary, if you restrict the bottom you've got to restrict the top.

If it is just one rider over 8, then you won't be competing with Tigers for Dan Thompson. Tigers will have Bomber back, so Dan T will move on. Glasgow, Poole, Oxford, Scunthorpe and Redcar won't be able to fit him in, so Workington only competing with Edinburgh, Berwick and Plymouth. Unless Workington have already signed Klindt, in which case I would think Plymouth are favourites to sign him
