You have to note that many riders have been dropping their averages, mostly below 8 points probably ready for 2019.
That may be the case but, unless there is a decent amount of sponsor or tv money surely any Championship club would be very wary about joining the Premier League but that is up to them.
By one combined league I mean a combination of Premier and most of the present Championship League in one, ie about 18 teams, and National League being the second.
Will just have to wait and see what the bspa come up with, two leagues as now or one combined league and if they limit the top riders or just let the clubs decide to go top heavy or not rather than restrict riders because of their average.
If the rumours are right and there is one big league then I wonder if any rider with an average over 8 will fit into whatever new lower team limit they impose. There are likely to be about 18 teams and there are not 18 riders with an average over 8.
