That's a valid point Matt, and one I had forgotten about. Bowden did say there was a limit of 2 double uppers.

Bellego is bit of a weird signing. Really don't think he has anything that Sedgmen (near identical average + asset (I think)?) doesn't, but time will tell.

I think many teams will be safricing strength at reserve

What makes you think that?

Nearly all teams (in UK, Denmark, Poland, Sweden) need to be reasonably heavily sponsored to make ends meet. In the event of insufficient sponsorship, that gap is usually met by the owners usually via one of their other business.

Or a Robson?

Noone knows quite yet, but Rye House certainly won't be the whipping boys of the Premiership, so looks like they will have a better team than many!

You can add Nielsen to that list too

Not convinced a 750 mile round trip would be financially feasible for either party in NL, to be honest.

He has a 10.5 (ish) average in relative terms, hardly unachievable. Certainly achievable if he brings his GP form into the country. Sounds like Ford thinks strength in depth is the route to go, and that's why Holder has been shown the door.

Why obviously?

Kurtz was lowering his average for Plymouth, that much was clear.

Maybe he will end up at a different UK club?

He's no Kevin Brice, that's for sure.

No, he's not. I think you are either looking at the wrong sheet, or reading the wrong column. Palm Toft's average is now also above 7.

Some good decisions were made over the AGM I feel, but this is not one of them!

The final averages haven't been released quite yet.

I don't think the difference will be all that vast by the end of the season. In the past, the successful PL sides have ended up with finishing averages of about 5-6 points higher than they started with. Given the difference between the sides is only 10 points, I genuinely believe it could be closer than expected. By the end of the season the Premiership side could be averaging about 49, whereas the Championship side could be approx 46.

15 points on his first visit to the track, IIRC......

*cough*Newman*cough*

I don't think Hancock will be riding in the Championship, TWK. Double Points will eventually be eased out of the leagues, I am sure. To be replaced by triple points hopefully

Over recent years, BV have made a few riders (Steve Worrall, Max Fricke spring to mind, but there could be others) assets, have those purchases been finalised, or will they revert back to their previous clubs?

Depends how you look at it. Didn't Pearson say he had something like 1.00 EL away average?

His most recent PL average was 5.36, although that may change slightly when the final averages are released.

There's always some post-AGM info coming out, and I reckon more info will be forthcoming about it sooner or later. I'm sure there will be some unannounced restrictions put in place. Surely! Right?
