Hello again everyone.

With the rumour around that the Witches will be in the top league in 2019 with Jason Doyle and Scott Nicholls leading the team, what would your 1 to 7 be?

Well IF it does happen that wouldnt be a bad start

Definitely Kemp at number 7. Other than that depends on the strength and structure of the league..... 

Would Drew want to jump straight into the top level?

As good a prospect as he is Id say concentrating on a full year at the middle level (assuming there is still one) would be better for him

Drew would  still be racing against the same old reserves , apart from the semi retired so called superstars/elite/premier riders . . imo.

Jason doyle 9.57

craig cook 7.64

richard Lawson  6.81

scott nicholls 6.65

danny king 6.46

Nathan greaves 3.25

drew kemp 2.00

adds up to 42.38!

note Adam Ellis would be my preference over Danny king but he’ll be in whatever league we’re in I’d imagine!

Like others have said tho not a lot of point speculating until we know the league formats etc. Also concede it’s very unlikely we’d be able to prize cool from belle vue!

dont think you could put together a much team that rides Foxhall any better than these lot tho - should win every week at home and be capable on the road!

Having seen drew go toe to toe with bomber at Glasgow and some of his other rides last season I see no problem in him riding top league as well next year he’d take it in his stride and surprise many along the way imo - destined for the very top

Fair enough, I was unaware of bad blood between them, I was just basing on the best team around Foxhall I could put together hypothetically

What about the bad blood between him and the foxhall faithful??? Definitely not a rider I would wish to wear the witch tbh.

Cook at Foxhall you'd be guaranteed plenty of rain offs!

Couldn’t agree more, don’t want to move off Thursdays and so many of the other clubs want Thursdays too

Now this is a mystery to me, allegedly rye went bang because they ride Saturday's,  belle vue and somerset wanted Friday, wolves ride Monday,  kl and Poole ride Wednesday, Leicester?? So only Swindon wanted Thursday :unsure:

I don’t believe Ipswich are contemplating going “up”    Chris louis will do what’s best financially for the club as it’s his living.  He won’t gamble going into the premiership quite rightly imo. 

Publicaly he has said he looks at the possibility every year which I’m sure he does. Probably for a second and then settles for being a very competitive team in the best run league.

May depend just how drastic any changes are in the structure of the leagues

There are some suggestions Championship level could be 6 man teams at around 36 point limit with the 'top end' riders excluded

Perhaps that would mean a switch now retaining the likes of Rory and Danny seems more attractive

Personally I would like 7 man teams to remain. I do believe the league is far too strong and if you exclude the top 22 riders and promote two nl riders in both reserve berths in every team in the league.  

Give the brits a chance.  Let those riders double up in the nl to give them plenty of track time and that will help the transition into the championship. 

Maybe keep these riders at reserve all season to stop poor quality foreign riders and has beens from dropping into the reserve berths.

Agree Jason that the 2nd tier reserve berth should be exclusive for Brit riders to progress from NL and like the idea of them staying at reserve all season
