really  ????

Where has it been stated that only 2 riders are to be replaced? I must have missed it!?

I believe Anders Rowe will be left out, as Sheffield get priority. So just leave out the temporary number 7, and Rowe, and get two big hitters. Team, 1 Premier guest  2 Cook, 3 Lawson  4 Kerr, 5 Premier guest  6 Thomsen  7 Starke 

Why not have Poole use their CL team and all the Sheffield riders start from a 15m handicap both home and away. IMO it would even things up a bit. Even better if a temporary set of tapes could be rigged up.

Well that's exactly what they're having to do bitza but when you do that it's no longer a championship team is it,but back to your initial point I maintain ther is a massive and possibly widening gap between the two leagues

youd assume the two reserves replaced by two big guns
