Hopefully the Comets will avoid their usual injuries that they seem to get every season, damaging any prospect of silverware and finish second behind Newcastle!
Oh yeah... Swindon with all their EL stars.... Charles Wright, Josh Grajzconek, Justin Sedgmen, Stefan Nielsen and Nick Morris.
Far too many PL riders are now in the EL. That's why it won't work.
It was tried a few years ago (2002) and was called "the British League Cup" and lasted that one season. The Northern Group consisted of PL teams only and therefore a complete waste of time as far as we were concerned.
Next season - Sheffield + Ipswich Thursdays (as last season), Peterborough + Scunthorpe Sundays (Peterborough as last season - Scunthorpe moving from the Friday).
