Brennan to Eastie, Jenkins to Mildenhall, Bickley to BV and, to a lesser extent, Lawlor to Cradley. It doesn't look like Brum will be able to match those despite having Zach last year and the Jacks this year.

Sounds plausible.

It'll be a strong top 4 but I'm struggling to see where the potential from reserve is going to come from.

If Lakeside charge £15 then it'll seriously affect the pricing structure of the league and British Speedway as a whole. The gaps in prices between the leagues are small anyway but a jump of £2 minimum and £4 compared to some teams is massive. Fans at clubs won't routinely pay £15 for NL, which in turn pushes up Championship prices and puts Premiership prices over £20.

Who do you think will sign?

How many points do KL have left?

Exactly, the potential is there and he's on a handy average. He's a far better signing than a 3.00 novice who isn't really ready.

Kinsley is very good at home. He just needs to master his away form.

Shanes at number 1?

Morley is 9.22 & Zach is 8.59. 12.98 left for the final 3 so you could go with 3 pointers at reserve and Nathan Stoneman.

Atkins might not be on Jenkins' level but will still be one of the better 3.00 riders.

Fair point. I would've suggested Burton & Hopwood but with Lawlor no longer a 3.00 that puts the side over the limit. However the Cradley site says the team was going to be a bit under the limit anyway. So maybe something like Burton and Dwyer.

As expected, Dan Greenwood is confirmed. This team is looking strong so far.

Assets don't really have an obligation to ride for their side and what reduced average are you referring to?

Cradley confirm that Lawlor's average will be slightly above 3.00.

I agree. Both would've been good options, but I'd say Harris is on par.

But Shanes has a position in a higher league whereas Ayres doesn't yet.

He goes well round there tbf!

Maybe he means permanently, so my guess is Cradley. But he is from Manchester so maybe BV.

Hopwood said in the Speedway Star that he'll be riding at a new track, so that's not Eastbourne.

I hope Stoneman gets fixed up because he showed very good potential last season and in his first stint in the sport before his serious injury. Yeah it is. His home and away averages weren't too dissimilar either. Plus he's a grasstracker too so a big circuit might suit him better than Eastbourne did.

What's Plymouth's official twitter? I can only seem to find fans ones or old ones that aren't updated anymore.

The convenience of the supposed random NLKOC draw, eh!! Local derbies in Stoke vs Buxton, Kent vs Eastbourne & Isle of Wight vs Plymouth!

Greaves & Govier signed. That leaves 7.04 for 2 riders and I hope Cupitt is back and the best rider on 4.04 or below is Harris imo. He's a rider on the up as well! It's just unfortunate that Stoneman won't be back.

Good luck to Baseby. He had an impressive season last year!
