If that's the team, it looks solid. Hard to judge without seeing the other line ups, but it should go OK. My only thought is that it would really need someone to step up at number 5 as back up to Wright. Although if one of Allen, Jenkins or Edwards is on top form every match and the other 2 ride to average then i don't think that they'd be far away from any silverware.

So looking at the predicted bears team.  What happens if we end up with one league ? 

There hasn't been any info/leak/story about what actually happens in that scenario. Presumably that will be discussed as part of the overall talks. 

Can't imagine it would be straightforward as the 1 rider over 8.00 was to even out all the Championship teams. Whilst no one had been announced at Premiership level, I expect contracts have been agreed/signed subject to the league going ahead. Big crossover in riders though so would not be easy to solve!

For example, allegedly Dan Thompson has been offered a large sponsorship deal to move from Ipswich to Leicester in the Premiership (before Chris Louis & Ipswich quit). Rumoured that he has also signed for Edinburgh in the Championship. Presumably then if its one big league he will want to ride for Leicester to get the sponsorship (which is based on him riding at Leicester). Edinburgh will possibly already have signed 6 other riders to fit just under 40 with Dan Thompson at number 1. If they lose him, then they would likely want to change other riders.

Partly for that reason I hope it stays as 2 leagues. If Redcar are going to announce all 7,  then they must be reasonably confident of being able to track that 7 next year. Hopefully it's a good sign if they go ahead with the announcement.

Given the amount to "unpick" I would be amazed if we now get one league at such a late stage..

If it were any other year, by now, pretty much all discussions and negotiations with riders would have been completed, and I cannot believe that this hasn't already been done this year. 

With each Championship team pretty much ready to announce their septet..

They won't be able to accommodate so many teams into their division at this late stage I would think, (even if they were happy to do so), especially as so many riders "dropping down" are already there!!!
