If you leave lambo out of the above team you have 4.59 left to play with, unless you get beau bailey think there's a struggle to get a half decent rider to fit into the team
Put it this way it's a bit on the small side, would fit on the centre green at Northside and still have room to spare, it's the narrowest track I have been to in 55 years of watching speedway
If it does survive looking like 5 teams, very few top riders and play each other 3 times home and away. Got some good friends who are witches fans, and not looking forward to watching kings Lynn 6 times
Etheridge has a lower average which was achieved in the main body of the team, hooky average was from reserve, so guess this is why hooky was not invited back, not a fan of etheridge if he is announced, but not my choice, will be still buying a season ticket. UTC🔵⚪
Comets have posted on Facebook that season tickets details coming soon. So with this and Plymouth announcing season ticket details, must mean the league set up is decided just to be officially released by them in charge higher up
The reason a team announcement is dragged out, is it usually gives publicity to the club over a few weeks. This season the make up of the league is not officially known, but seems the promotion know which direction the league is going , I was told all 7 riders are signed, BUT due to the official league set up / number of fixtures involved not known until rubber stamped at the AGM the full team may not be announced until after the AGM.
Sometimes it's cheaper to fly a rider in rather than pay millage allowance to travel, and some amounts UK based riders are asking is unbelievable, a foreign rider is often cheaper. Think about it how many young riders, good or not so good want to be full time speedway riders, without having a 2nd income !!
