Antti was our best heat leader at the GT Tyres arena last season while Batch was our best heat leader away from home. I would have them both back without doubt, Batch at 5 Antti at 3. However, building a solid team that has a rider or riders who can win the big heats at the back end of the meeting along with a good 3 and 4 who can produce a fair percentage of wins in heat 12 and heat 14 respectively (great example being Zach Cook at Poole) plus having at least one consistently strong reserve is not easy within the constraints of the team building points limit.

maybe don't have the infrastructure, airfence, refs box, starting gates etc and don't have the finances to buy them ?. Looking at the Northampton Shaleway on google I don't think the track shape is conducive to good speedway, looks narrow with long straights. Can anyone confirm ?.

you've just taken the negativity too a whole new level , I'm feeling really depressed now. 😩😃

yeah sounds like a fungi 😉😃

Plymouth or Edinburgh, somehow can't see him back at Plymouth he goes well at Armadale generally so they will definitely see him as No1 material.

Only made around 4 out of 16 heat 15's last season at home and didn't win one.

Sounds like he is our new No1 then😃. I like Danny great professional and team man. He goes great at the GT Tyres Arena. What I question in the No1 position is, is he the man who will go out in heat 15 and win you the meeting. Time will tell by the sound of things 👍🤔😃

Got his location as Poole ?

Not Worky anyway.

Think the BSPL are struggling to break even 😃

Many riders owed money apparently.

The thing is the 40 point limit, 6 rider teams and 1 x 8+ rider are not compatible are they ?. Maybe 6 rider teams in the Prem with a 36 limit.

one league phases out doubling up Lisa

suits the narrative Bellers

Signed for someone else.

That may lead to more strung out racing with current race format.

obviously big resistance to go one league in certain BSPL quarters. Wouldn't it be nice if they keep the fans in the loop, they will have to if it isn't sorted by the AGM.

And if if doesn't ? would have to be 5 I suppose . It is all a bit late in the day bearing in mind how long it has been known Birmingham wouldn't be returning, strong rumours of the Spires not running , Leicester debating whether to go Champship and Sheffield still for sale. Obviously there are possibilities of new/returning clubs further down the line but nothing concrete.

Could well be because I doubt the Premiership would have ran with only 5 teams.

for who ?

team building points limit is reported to be 36 though.

New team racing at Oxford ?

excellent 3 or 5 but not a No1 often enough for me personally.

I'm not initially a fan of this rule, will have to see how it works in practice. Danny been a solid signing for the Bears, appears a good club man and a fair racer.

Believe we did try to sign him last season but we can't really compete with the Tigers .
