Think all the Polish tracks and the NSS should host the GP’s.

Breath taking racing so far. great to see Woffy back but he clearly isn’t race fit. No sweat champ, you can get back the title next year. Madsen looks like he is on 550cc.

I haven’t had crabs in ages.

You can, as other teams have had no choice. Ideally you would either want him back or sign a replacement before the cut off date. Yes fully aware of that. The play offs limit you for guests, unfairly,

The product, the standard, the calibre - call it what you will. But I wouldn’t refer to the racing standard as much as the class of riders. The product in the top flight is at its weakest possibly ever. Next season IF a one big league happens the product will again be reduced. Dont get me wrong, I’m a fan of the NL because that’s where you see raw talent start to develop. Yes there are more mistakes, yes there are sometimes riders not a good enough standard but generally the product matches the standard matches the price to attend. The top 2 leagues have become too expensive for a rather lower quality of competitor(s). However give me a top league with all the stars back and ask me to pay £25, I’d be there every week. Does that make me a top flight snob? Possibly. Although watching mostly NL hardly backs that up however. Too be honest it’s just as much the CL fans who have as big an issue with the top flight. So snobbery works both ways.

A loss at home but guests are a plus away however. Swings and roundabouts whilst he is out. Seems a plus tho.

6.67 at home, so just over a point more. Didn’t realise how poor his away one is!

The relevance of that is? We are talking about the product on offer now and potentially next season. I’ve already stated that the product on offer doesn’t entice me very much.

Robins will join the top 4 anyway, just a case of in what position.

That’s bang on the money then. His average is 5.22

Be something like the Danish league? Makes sense but that would entice me even less.

And still wouldn’t have enough riders unless the standard is a hybrid of CL and NL.

Exactly. This there is an abundance of riders attitude is just nonsense.

What about cooked ones?

As stated above the CL has used 108 riders riders this year for the 77 CL team places such has been the turnover of riders, some not even of a CL standard. I’ve already broken down the figures of riders used in both leagues above.

What part of 126 riders are required for the 18 teams don’t you understand? I fully agree any middle tier league should have at least one NL rider at reserve If not two However signs aren’t great as the CL have had several youngsters pull out the league citing confidence issues as well as promising riders like Zach at Birmingham and Swindon retire plus promising youngster Jack Parkinson Blackburn also lost to the sport. As already stated you will loss another 18 ‘top flight riders’ to one big league as well as those retiring. you seem to be advocating a stronger NL standard league which will as good as kill the UK league for good. There is living within its means (another thing we agree on) and ensuring the sport league loses total meaning in the UK.

Typical of Nick to help another team condemn his own.

Surprising result with the Aces helping to cement a top 3 place. Good to see Morris getting double figures.

The expected result, no surprises,

Reported.

I did it at the start of the season and there was nearly 30 riders short to complete all teams. 126 riders for all 18 teams. 77 for the Championship (which has now used a total of 108 riders so far includes some clearly not CL standard and released as such) 49 for the Premiership (only 18 top flight flight only) The total gives 126 if all teams come back to the table. However you can take out 18 of those If it’s an agreed lower standard so already you can see you are nearly 3 teams of riders short. Given the best case scenario of all 126 riders wanting to be back next season it would be near impossible to ensure a points limit that suits all teams and all riders getting a team place. So again very unlikely. Only unless team numbers are reduced to 6 per team would that be possible. There haven’t been enough of the right standard riders to fill one big league for several seasons despite many stating it’s what we need.
