These teams suggested if there's a 36 point limit look pretty decent to me. 

Maybe could make for a more exciting league if there's more riders of a similar ability competing.

Admission prices won’t drop though to match the drop in standard.

Shame it's looking like 36.00 then.

As usual the weaker teams hold all the cards,evn though such a low limit won't benefit them.  They just think it will.

Who are these 'weaker teams'?

Brum & Ox are gone and Lynn didn't want a lower limit this year so almost certainly won't for 2026.

Maybe Sheffield and Leicester might require lower costs especially with the loss of tv revenue?

Would imagine Musielak will be on allot of people (Stars fans aside) want list as he struggled at Perry Barr and starts 2026 on a 6.3ish average.  But it's not just UK where his average has gone down, in Poland's second tier he topped the averages a few years back with in excess of 10:00 (2.26 a ride) he's now not much over 8:00 (2.07 a ride).  Still in his time as a Tiger he was always unbeatable at Owlerton on my (rare) visits.

personally it's encouraging the weaker riders to make it more competitive instead of getting better riders over to make it more competitive. And of course at a price that makes the public doubt whether to go or not

As Sheffield proved when trying to replace Woffinden getting better riders over appears to be virtually impossible.

It may of course be different if there were plenty of money to throw at it which there clearly isn't,  doubly so now there's no tv money

And Ipswich the season before when Doyle’s season ended in May. Louis chucked offers at every top rider on the planet, and couldn’t get one. Michelsen came the closest to joining, but in the end there were one too many obstacles to overcome.

Oxford Spires are gone. But not Oxford Cheetahs
