There really is going to be a massive gap between the teams next year due to the fact that swindon and sheffield and to a lesser extent belle vue have a few potential no1s leaving the likes of Peterborough and Ipswich with no no1s.
I don't like that.
Next year there should be some sort of draft. Riders need to be graded now.
Pot a
Pot b
Pot c
Etc etc.
For example riders in pot a
Doyle,batch,lambert,kurtz,cook,nicki,holder,masters,thorsell
There are 9 riders there capable of riding at no1. There are enough to go around, but if you choose 2 of the 'pot a' riders then you dont get a choice of a 'pot b or c' rider. If you choose two 'pot b' riders you don't get a pick from pot 'c or d' etc.
Swindon and sheffield are going to run away with it this year closely followed by wolves and belle vue. Theres Going to be a massive gap. That's not fair at all.
Add to that Swindon will win most home matches if not all by 20 points. Can any club afford to pay that out for a whole season.
Let's make the league fair again and try get 7 competitive teams together
Nownim going to disappear and ignore the replies lol
