Yes

Ive not seen the averages or looked them up but in my head

Doyle 10

Covatti 5

Allen 5

King 6

Kemp 3

Ive rounded some of those up leaving 13.5 for 2 riders, if that was rounded up to say 14 for 2 riders we could fit in Cook (7.5) Lawson (6.5)

As ive said ive not looked at the averages but that team wouldnt get beat at home im sure

The years in the Championship have been very enjoyable and will miss many aspects of it

With the planned reduction in Championship limit however Im glad we are moving back up to the top league

I hope we see 2 or 3 new faces and a 'big' signing to kickstart the new era

For me its a year too early for Drew to be in the top league. I think he would be best in the 2nd tier for 2019 ( not that I will be unhappy to see him wear the Witch mind you :))

Wouldnt be surprised if Nico was elsewhere

Danny King & Scott Nicholls will be signed up pretty sharpish in my opinion. 

Scott's on a 2 year deal with Peterborough surely:unsure: and if he's 100% fit would think Danny's a cert, plus the fact he can stay with Leicester too.

In a new twist this year Scott will ride for Ipswich and Peterborough. When we ride against each other, then we will both have guests for Scotty. lol

I’m genuinely a bit baffled by today’s events and I’m struggling to understand what’s what and who calls the shots. Does Chapman now call all the shots as to who we can and can’t sign? Or Does Louis still do what he’s done in previous years and “control” the running of the club just not “own” it?

cant help but feel a little uneasy at the minute. One thing I’ve always felt with the Louis’ in full control, was safe. 

Anyway, I hope we don’t go down the same route as Rye when they moved up and sign a “dads army” team of yesteryear and riders who have clearly seen better days such as Nicholls and Harris. 

We cant get excited and sign a bunch of names thinking they’re still top riders, Andersen another one. Things have changed since we were last in the division and we have to be smarter than that. 

We should also avoid taking the easy option of signing up riders that regularly rode for us in the Championship and thinking they could do a job for us. 

Heeps for example, being a 3rd heatleader (or thereabouts) in the Championship, you’d think would do well in a top flight reserve berth, but he was disastrous for Wolves at reserve. 

Very interesting weeks and months ahead.
