Workington 2019


Recommended Posts

Just so excited to have speedway back next year, and would be happy with each of the 3 line ups you have come up with Marksman. If Nicolai is not racing in the championship next year I would definitely like to see Ty back however.

The 38 limit will make it more challenging for teams to select their line-up. I certainly favour the 'Comets way' of strength in depth over say a Cookie and 6 others - after all he can only get 18 himself and only then if his team are getting stuffed in any case. It will certainly be interesting to see the different approaches to team building. 

I, like others, just hope we have Razzer tied down already.

Happy days, and still basking in the glory of 3 (three) bits of silverware.

Fantastic news we are running next year, I always had faith we would be.

It will be tougher than ever to build a good solid team with 38 points, but IF we retain at least 5/6 of this years team we will be flying again, would love Nicolai to come back but don't think he'll be riding 2 leagues in Britain, with maybe more commitments abroad.

With that i worked out a few hypothetical teams based on last years team; I really like the 3rd one, but it's probably the least likely of the 3.

 

1 Rene Bach           7.19

2 Rasmus Jensen  6.59

3 Dan Bewley          6.62  (6.79)

4 Mason Campton 6.32

5 Ty Proctor             6.96

6 Georgie Wood      2.32

7 Kyle Bickley          2.00

Total 38.00

The other teams in the league need to tell him that if he can't get riders then it up to him to change HIS fixtures and he can go to hell if he thinks he is going to do what he did last year.

If goes to hell right now it would be even better.

I think we will be lucky to see most of the riders from last season returning.

Klindt surely will be riding in Poland.

Rene has a kid on the way.

Don’t think Dan will be back on a bike that quick.

Dont think Ty will be back generally.

Rasmus, Kyle and Mason I think will return. 

Would like to see someone like Bradley Wilson dean and possibly Ben Barker in the team but obviously depends on permutations.

its the bspa/scb ? way of thought ! lower the points limit so most , if not all of the top average guys are forced into the top league only .

it looks like the best way to do it . i agree with it and we, the fans still get entertained . just like the 70,s !

i just wonder who will be the first  to sign a big  s hitter and ruin it for everyone .

cookie back @ Glasgow and having a near 12.00 average . thats entertainment , NOT .

there HAS to be a gulf between the premier and championship . lets get back to the future .

LETS MAKE SPEEDWAY WORK , WHATEVER TEAM YOU SUPPOT

I too think the new points limit makes sense, as it should help create 2 separate leagues as opposed to the charade of the past few years where the same riders compete in both. 6 man teams (as favoured by THJ among others) may also have been an option to help deal with a potential shortage of riders  but we are where we are and if the fixture list is compiled properly we will hopefully be in for an entertaining and competitive season.

It will be interesting to see if anyone goes for a big hitter as that will create an unbalanced team, but who knows, it will certainly heap a whole load of pressure on them to perform each meeting and provide an extra stimulus to each opponent to attempt to lower their colours.

Bring it on.

The reduction isnt so drastuc when you take into account there will be an extra team

Even if you had the same pool of riders as 2018 (there have been a couple of returements) you would need to find 7 more to fill the spaces

If these were 2 pointers the overall impact is to reduce average team strength to around 40

38 therefore is not as huge a change as it first appears

There`ll be two extra teams, rumours suggest Birmingham for certain along with Eastbourne.

2 up to premiership and 2 down to championship cancel each other out.2 new from national league minus arena essex surely means only 1 extra in championship (minus us at Berwick might end up same as last year yet)

somerset are dropping down but whos the other team you are quoting 

not heard of 2 dropping down
