Carlislecomet2 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I thought we’d be back after Laura said no need to feel pessimistic at the do. Thought Dan was a bit evasive about coming back though, whatever hope he recovers well from his injury.

jenga Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 3 hours ago, Marksman said: 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 1 Rene Bach 7.19 2 Bradley Wilson Dean 6.00 3 Dan Bewley 6.62 (6.79) 4 Mason Campton 6.32 5 Rasmus Jensen 6.59 6 Jack Smith 2.99 (3.07) 7 Kyle Bickley 2.00 Total 37.71 1 Rene Bach 7.19 2 Zach Wajtknecht 5.19 3 Dan Bewley 6.62 (6.79) 4 Mason Campton 6.32 5 Rasmus Jensen 6.59 6 Jordan Stewart 4.09 7 Kyle Bickley 2.00 Total 38.00 some good riders in those teams marksman . but i also like the BLACKHEART one as well . but we are not choosing the riders . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If goes to hell right now it would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madsteve Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 Ben barker is entertaining But we want riders to do a seasons racing Barker can have too much time out injured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaniaman Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 It,s typical end up with a treble winning team,then go to the AGM and get blown right out of the water to return with the same team to defend the titles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlislecomet2 Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsteve Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think the new point limit will stop teams building top heavy and go for a more equal built team, it worked for us this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
