Rubbish good team won't get slaughtered by anyone, Rye House will probably beat us away but at home we will almost unbeatable by anyone. Todd Kurtz will be one of the best reserves in the league if it is him. KK will even give Doyle something to worry about, so glad he will be back hopefully.
There is no loophole just getting a new rider on the appropriate average, there is no way we would get him if he was a 3 point average. He rode in the PL final for Somerset so has very limited PL experience. Good luck to him but achieving even his 2 point average will be difficult.
Team wll be

Rubbish Middlo failed nobody, the riders failed him, Hans injury didn't help and Lindback not turning up at Wolves didn't help either but none of these things were Middlo's fault.
Leaving Chris Holder out is not a mistake you need depth in the team as Swindon will find out.
I don't think it would be a bad thing for the premiership and championship to be amalgamated into one league and i wouldn't be surprised it that happens within the next couple of years.
You may not have heard that isn't going to happen and i think a good decision, Swindon might struggle for the same reason, riders like Watt and Batchelor are now in demand because they had bad seasons. Batchelor wouldn't be on anyone's most wanted list especially Swindon's if the rules hadn't changed.
I am sure Ford would like more clubs to compete against and we have more clubs in the top flight this year so that is encouraging, Clubs have closed which is a shame but you can't blame Ford for that.
