Marksman

I thought otherwise before Friday's presentation night but given how Batch spoke I probably see him being back again next season if the limit is 40. We could end up with something like this, just a guess; 1 Troy Batchelor 8.46 2 Sam Hagon 4.73 3 Craig Cook 8.42 4 Tate Zischke 6.96 5 Antti Vuolas 6.40 6 Ben Trigger 3.00 7 Sonny Springer 2.00 39.97

Oxford? He's popular there isn't he

Pearson won't be back at Glasgow, and Dan Thompson is Glasgow bound for sure

That's why I said on the team front, plenty of contracts and announcements are being made pre-AGM.

I don't know, but would be highly surprised if he wasn't, he's back training hard again in the boxing gym. Even if the points limit is 40, I can't seen both Batchelor and Cook in the same team again given the averages Zischke/Voulas have.

Potentially will hear something on the team front tonight at the Presentation night

Don't know how it's a shorter drive to Plymouth, there's not much in it but it's extra mileage to Plymouth, plus Southern M4/M5 traffic to negotiate

Cambridgeshire

Would be a longer drive for him!

Very Impressive Premieres on YouTube on Fri 1st Nov.

It ridiculous, let them pull out, we don’t need them in all 3 leagues. 8 teams with 28 league fixtures is a good number

I know nothing is likely to change but hope we get the Tigers vs Comets more than 1H, 1A next season. Both sides take a good away following and certainly generates interest this end. It's a travesty when you think Poole/Oxford raced each other 8 times this year. Something has to change, and if the reason for lack of meetings is mainly down to Oxford running 3 sides, then it's an absolute shambles. I fear that it's just going to be the same old BSN groups and then the same league format.

Was all postive from his time at the Comets, I think it helped as he has a real respect for Steve. On the flip side, if he doesn't respect someone or a track it really shows through and rightly so I can see why he can be classed as all the names he gets called on here. Some people like Troy seem to thrive on it, but more often than not he was a joy to watch and wouldn't be a surprise if he picks up our Rider of the Year award. I guess the sport needs characters like him, one thing is for sure he deflected a lot of the usual heat from Cookie this year 😂

Simple reason is if you have Cook, Batchelor, Zischke and Vuolas they would come to 30.4 alone. As well as he done it's a numbers game and the other 3 are probably certs.

He would ride anywhere, said worse at Plymouth also live on BSN. Then popped up there guesting for them a few times only a few weeks later...

No, this was recently on BSN when the Comets won there in August

Other one I had was; 1 Craig Cook 8.42 2 Mitchell Cluff 5 3 Tate Zischke 6.96 4 Jason Edwards 6.18 5 Antti Vuolas 6.4 6 Freddy Hodder 2 7 Connor Bailey 4.97 39.93 These are assuming Connor wants to return of course, I think he will at somepoint. The Americans, Lightcap and Martin who rode in the Ben Fund would come in on 4pt averages, but don't think they'd quite cut it.

Was thinking the same 4. If Starke doesn't return it'll be only the other 3. These are the best I could come up (if the limit is 40) and we go for a bit of strength at reserve and be very hard to beat at home. 1 Craig Cook 8.42 2 Connor Bailey 4.97 3 Tate Zischke 6.96 4 Mitchell Cluff 5 5 Antti Vuolas 6.4 6 Paul Starke 3.36 7 Danyon Hume 4.87 39.98

I'm sure something will be announced at the Presentation night, clubs appear to be getting on with the announcements already. Points limit must be known, I think it might be 40. From this year's team I think 4 will return and we will be strong at reserve.

The numbers don't fit on the 40 point team, Hook's average is 4.19

Nicholls just posted on Instagram and ended with "Really enjoyed this season so now it’s time to recover and get ready for 2025👍🏻" I'd assume he'll be back at Oxford and just doing his TV work again.

There will be a certain British rider at No.1 which was much to my surprise when I was told on Saturday night, but looking back others have mentioned it here too.

It was changed this year for both Prem and Champ to 6 meetings (any home/away combination) Last season in the Championship it was 8 (4H + 4A), and 6 (3H + 3A) in the Prem.

Yes but without him fencing Killeen how different could it have been.

He was a 10 point rider and the best in the league in his first season, no comparison at all
