How about? Danny King - 8.59 Scott Nicholls - 7.88 Ben Barker - 6.12 Joe Thompson - 5.87 Alfie Bowtell - 4.65 Dan Gilkes - 4.59 Darryl Ritchings - 2.29 Total - 39.99

Three of those teams could run development league racing, but choose not to. Redcar had big gaps in the fixtures despite being in all the competitions, seems they either couldn't or wouldn't get opposition teams to come on their blank Fridays. Poole actually ride 17 home fixtures, 2h & 2a is only 16 home fixtures, adding KOC and/or play-offs potentially gives a few extra fixtures, but not much more than Poole currently get. 2h & 2a is feasible if clubs work together, are willing to race of off-rave nights (i.e 4 Friday tracks) and have riders who don't miss matches to race abroad (which can cause blank race dates).

Can only imagine that'd make it much harder to find enough riders, riders may seek more foreign opportunities if they don't know they'll get a UK team spot? Or get a "normal" job (that doesn't allow time off for Speedway) in case they aren't willing to wait for a team spot to be confirmed?

I've only seen Ingram once (NDL match) but was very impressed. His scores certainly improved as the season went on in the development competitions. Think he should do ok as a 2 pointer.

I'd say the bottom 6 could be compared to Workington's side this season, with a far stronger number one. The league will be weaker (anything below 42 is weaker statistically) so I can't see this team struggling. Of course it's hard to judge till more teams get completed / rules are announced.

It's tough to build a strong looking team when the limit is weaker. It's also tough when you don't know the limit lol!

Brennan could be at no 5, even if they signed Bewley & Doyle, happened this year.

People are talking about Premiership Speedway possibly at Oxford (even under a different name) that doesn't belong in the Championship section.

Best "realistic" team I can come up with if it's a 36 limit with Fricke Max Fricke - 9.89 Jan Kvech - 6.91 Chris Harris - 6.53 Adam Bedna - 5.00 Jonas Jeppesen - 4.34 Francis Gusts - 3.00 Luke Harrison - RS Total - 35.67

Allen has just completed his 4th season in a row at Scunthorpe. If he had a change 3 years ago he would've left after one season. Before that he had a season at Redcar, probably his best season tbh. I don't think he's done particularly poorly, he's just always been a 2nd / 3rd heat leader & reached his limit.

But if Kurtz & Bewley were taking points off each other (lowering their average), would not Holder & Musielak have been doing the same when Tobiasz averaged 8.69? In fact if Musielak was behind Holder in most heat 13s / 15s, does that not make his 8.69 average even more impressive? Which would mean Lynn signed a "real number 1" in 2024. Yes he was poor & disappeared, but that doesn't mean Lynn didn't sign a number 1.

But if they want these 3 young potential superstars they don't have much choice. Leave out Bailey & another club could benefit. I honestly think Rushen could score loads at no 7 & would be in the team sharpish, so Bailey could get a spell at reserve after a couple of months. Agree about Bowes, I guess they see something in him, but I'd steer clear after his attitude towards Workington at the end of the season.

Different teams for Springer & Rushen & I could've finished on 58.67, but still not enough for the win. Well done Marky_Mark

If Riss & Gilkes can overcome illness/injury plenty of potential in that team

A couple of days ago I read on here he was on his way to Workington. Principal is the same, if they want to share out the top riders, just make sure no-one gets missed out whatever average they end on. i.e could be one rider over 8, one over 7.9, one over 8.1, just don't make a rider unemployed because of the ruling.

I know, I always said I had Flint as a reserve if the rules were the same as this year (40 points limit). I never said he'd be at reserve if the limit was lowered.

If the plan was to share out the top 9 riders in the league, then Pickering signing means one would miss out. They should just edit the rule, after all the AGM hasn't been held yet, so nothing is finalised. Just find the 10th highest rider & make the ruling one above that avarage. Peter Kildemand would be 10th on 8.05, so make the rule one rider above 8.05. * they haven't listed the final GSAs yet so Kildemand might not be 10th.

Cairns would be at reserve in that team, has a lower average than Boughen, who would be an unlikely signing.

Are there enough U19s of sufficient quality to ride in the Prem next season? Think it'd be better if it was U24 in Prem, U19 in Champ.

A 36 point limit for a top 5 is a strong league. 2025 top fives Belle Vue 36.77 Birmingham 27.75 Ipswich 36.04 King's Lynn 33.78 Leicester 37.30 Oxford 30.60 Sheffield 36.31 If there are 2 "rising stars" keep them at reserve all year & use the old "fast track" format.

just expecting Jack Holder to stay, with Picko doesn't leave a lot of room elsewhere. If Jack doesn't return, then I'd have Pickering.

If he rides like he did last time in the Prem, then would be a great signing. Maybe you're convincing me it would be a good move

I've had a try at a 36.00 limit Jack Holder - 9.08 Chris Holder - 6.84 Charles Wright - 6.11 Nick Morris - 5.89 Leon Flint - 5.06 Jye Etheridge - 3.00 Luke Harrison - RS Total - 35.98

Nicholls would be on a Champ converted ave now (5.25). Based on his last Prem matches, that's great value. But for next year I'm not so sure. Another couple of years older, plus an injury affected season.

I was picking a team to keep Flint at reserve under the current rules. If the limit is lowered I agree he wouldn't be at reserve.
