So on the strengthening subject, I don’t know averages current or start of year, I presume All Teams could only do a like for like or re-declare. So for example using Scunthorpe as the example as we are on their thread,they couldn’t sign anyone over an 8 point average, as that would make 2riders over 8. So in theory all signings must now be 7.99 or under, unless you’re dropping your No1?

Yes you could only sign 1 over 8pt rider,u can have all 8s if they upped their averages, i think thats why we wanted kemp as he was under 8,,like for like is ok for one rider but anymore you have to stick to 40.

I'm pretty sure the 8 point rule was for initial declarations, so any team should be able to sign a second 8 pointer now, if there's anyone available that is?

I am sure Scunthorpe could have strengthened without going bankrupt.

If you knew your speedway history you would know thumping teams doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in the attendance but does mean a very large increase in your wage bill.
