It's away from home that the reserves will struggle, having to take at least seven rides between them. Max Perry scored just one point in ten rides for Poole ... And it was by beating Freddy Hodder at Berwick! Is he going to be another Luke Chessell? We should have gone for a better balanced team rather than the top heavy top five.
Some riders who just retired too soon, a few possibly due to injuries

Fifty years ago I got a Christmas card from Barry Briggs presumably because I'd bought one of his anoraks earlier in the year. I put it on display ever year but somehow it got lost. Is this the card I got or is it a more modern one. Anybody know?

Dont see why not. No team can have riders with averages of less than 2.00 so by definition this pair must be among the lowest / weakest in the league. Bear in mind neither actually achieved 2.00 and they were particularly weak away from home.
Will the 3/4 pairing be a powerhouse or will they stifle each other? Could go either way. Would Pearson and Smith instead of Howarth and Perry give a better balanced side. Perhaps but guess it's too late now.
A look at teams who used another's track to bridge a gap, including Berwick at Blantyre, Glasgow at Workington and Edinburgh at Shaw field, and a few others too.

We've got the NDL tail wagging the Championship dog. NDL teams shouldn't expect to race on the parent clubs race night unless the parent club is racing away that night. Similarly to have 2H and 2A, the principle of race night seniority needs to be revisited and changed such the senior club gets priority on the first meeting but not on the second meeting. All clubs will need to accept that they will have to race on their alternative racenight during the season.

Is there a general procedure to confirm guests are eligible for league meetings or does the referee just check on the night.
There seems to be no procedure to let teams know a rider has already guested in a semi Final and is ineligible
Dont think the Premiership back up this notion. Ask Birmingham about Milik, Lampart and Pawlicki and Oxford about Jankowski. While Workington's Vuolas and Zischke did well, Liebmann didn't and ask Glasgow fans what they think about Ivacic and you won't get a positive response.
