Any news on championship points limit Bojangles ?

I don't know the actual points limit, but from what I've heard the Championship will be the same nine teams as 2026 - with the points limit already agreed upon. Not from a direct source though, so don't quote me!

Assuming no change in the championship, anyone any thoughts on where an extra 1-2 teams might come from ?

I’ve heard that too, same 9 teams in the championship. (Providing Plymouth raise their funds for a new air fence) 

With regards to new teams, there are still some aspiring to run Eastbourne in the top league next season

if eastbourne comes to tapes it just makes so much more sense to have two leagues of eight.

It's a massive expense which doesn't make much sense to me in terms of safety - should be more like an MOT and see if the current barrier provides the cushioning it should then fine to carry on using it.  It'd still be much better than the hard foam type fence they have at King's Lynn which I can't see provides much better than the old wire mesh type fences.

Interesting rumour that Poland will mandate air jackets for riders maybe the year after next, if not next year.  Another expense for clubs that they can do without because you can be sure riders won't pay for them.
