ProudtobeaBrummie Posted November 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 I am not really sure just starting a bit of speculation/conversation. The One thing i do find every year there isnt a lot of value between 4.5 - 6.5 which makes team building difficult 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Clegg I think will be just over the 8.5 mark after all the points scored last month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatleaders will put a point on each and most likely miss plenty doubling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 If there is any kind of NL racing at Leicester the Thompson twins are highly likely to be there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 My ideal 2019 NL season will NOT feature Birmingham. And to that end, I believe they are on the verge of applying for a Championship place next year. In reality, the whole thing is such a mish-mash though. Glasgow were rumoured to be going into the first division (whatever that gets called next year) but then they release a 12 months notice to cease trading if finances don't improve. There are half a dozen other teams up for sale or on the brink of extinction, so who knows what 2019 holds in store, or how many leagues there will be, or who is in which league, let alone which riders will be riding for whom... ...meanwhile in Poland where everyone knows which teams are in which division, and who is riding where, and where the fixtures are only a couple of weeks away from being published, life goes on as normal, the PR machines are working away, riders are spending the closed-season meeting people, pressing the flesh, kissing babies etc. Might as well all be on another planet, so stark are the differences in approach. Pesky Poles, eh? Who do they think thay are? We British know best. Nothing to learn from them, eh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlata prilba Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 My take will be Brum and Eastbourne going up replacing Lakeside and Berwick and Leicester gong championship as well we shall see what occurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterPlinge Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 So there we have it. Somerset and Leicester drop out of Premiership down to Championship Ipswich and Peterborough move up from Championship to Premiership Birmingham and Kent move up from NL to Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Kev Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think the other team is Eastbourne rather than Kent. I would totally welcome a move up to the championship, the past four seasons in the NL have been enjoyable but its important the club continues to move forward after what happened in 2014. The new managment have been fantastic, Lee Kilby has done a great job as commercial manager and despite a very frustrating season on track for the Brummies in 2018, off track has been positive. Fingers crossed we get it confirmed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastbourne weren't interested in moving up. Too comfortable where they are, and didn't fancy the long travel to the Scottish and far north Championship tracks. Kent will face some mileage though. And not many northern teams will enjoy their 2019 trips across the Dartford crossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East End Fan Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Is all this guesswork or truth ? Have the BSPA issued a list of teams in every division ? I have not seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Nothing has officially been released yet as to who the two teams are that are moving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 With Leicester now riding in the championship on a Saturday night will they run an NL side? Not so sure running a Saturday and Sunday side will work? Cant see them running NL in the week either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Seems unlikely there will be a Leicester or Coventry in the NL with the main team moving to Saturdays. Can see Plymouth being the other side to move up along with Brum as i can't see Eastbournes crowd numbers being enough, Kent have switched to sat nights and are likely to take a chunk of lakeside/Rye House support anyway to make up for those who won't attend as much. Would be nice if a team (maybe Cov) could get into Peterborough at the weekends now they have been vacated ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just my opinion, but to set an example for the future, I don't think that a team that didn't complete their league fixtures in 2018 should be allowed to profit by being elevated into the Championship for 2019.
