waco Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just a few hours to go now and we should know the points limit..I envisage rapid signings to be made within days .Personally hope the limit is 40 to allow strong teams and better racing this season,and to accommodate some of the decent riders that will not get a Premier League place,otherwise they could be without any team place.and that would be a very bad move...

gee jay Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Maybe cause its a pointless competition it didn't seem pointless when the team were celebrating on the centre-green as the first of the treble but i suppose it's connor that does the number crunching so he should know. i still would have liked to have been in it though, especially with 2 more teams.

david2905 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) All looks alright apart from the return of bloody play offs, can't think what club that favours with a trick Sussex triangle over 2 legs  If your not good enough over a season then you are not good enough period, why should a ridiculous home advantage win the day ?.

Islander15 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm surprised teams voted to bring back the play-offs. The Gold Cup seemed to work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, am trying to think of a Speedway league that doesn't have title decided by playoffs. For the record i'd have kept it same as last season.

Hunters Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just recovered from the shock. 40 points! Now I will sit back and see where all these extra higher point riders that were suggested are coming from. Â Still believe some teams are going to be too far below the limit and uncompetitive.
