I’d happily take Douglas for Lynn at 1. as long as we get R Lambert in as well to back him up and when the 1st/2nd set of averages change, Douglas drops down the order. Lynn would have the strongest duo in the league. 

Lambert would (or should) be 9.60.....

There is an argument he should be but his last Green Sheet from 2023 was 7.81

There a more up to date regulation that states he shouldn't

I’ve read elsewhere on this forum that 36 point limit for Premier League next season.  If so the presumption must be the limit for the Championship will also be significantly reduced, perhaps to facilitate the integration of NDL riders?

Not sure this approach is the “exciting plans for 2026” indicated by the Oxford promotion when announcing the end of the Spires - but there again speedway promoters have on many occasions instigated changes that leave fans wondering what planet those in charge of the sport are living on.  
If it is to be 36 points, we’ll sure puts a different consideration of team building for 2026

Too right. And with tv deal looking unlikely now, even less chance of anyone going up imo. 

Quoted as it highlights the financial position of the sport 

Here's a stark comparison which shows the gulf with football

10 miles from Ipswich is Needham Market. They play in the Southern League - effectively the 7th tier in the English game

Yesterday they opened a new stand which cost £358,000 to build funded primarily by grants provided by the Premier League (£150k) and Southern League (£100k) and other agencies including £10k from local councils

The stand apparently holds under 300 fans but would accommodate most of the average attendance. The game last night attracted their record attendance at 1105
