Allot depends on the team building limits, but I'm sure there will be more in demand riders than Ellis & Aarnio.  How is Morris' recovery going, will he even be fit?

Unless the limit is 30 i would be trying to get Adam Ellis signed up now. 7.50 is a bargain number and less than the likes of Covatti or Kerr and his converted PL average would be well over 10. Properly applied and without Danish distractions Adam should be pushing on close to 9.5 next season.

I think being midweek too will be big advantage in getting Adam as he will want to try to crack Poland at some point and exploit his French connections on the Continent with lucrative weekend bookings.

If Ellis chooses to ride in the CL next season he will have plenty of offers on his current average, likewise Aarnio so if Brum can land them it would show serious intent. Given the averages i can see only one of Ash Morris, Shanes or Paco featuring and whilst i think the smart choice is Morris i suspect Brum will go for Shanes. I suspect there will be a riot if either Agertoft or Thomsen are signed. Garrity is a strange one as he is a handful in multiple ways and normally Rogers prefers riders who are easier to deal with but he clearly has a soft spot for Jason. Either way with the full winter to plan there will be no excuses for a poorly built team in 2020.

Adam Ellis,Tero Aarnio,James shanes ,Ash Morris  and Tobias Thomsen still leaves 9.5 points assuming a 38 point limit ....  maybe  Garrity and stoneman/ Gilkes  ?

Kyle Newman 4.93 ; Broc Nichol 4.34 and Drew Kemp 4.19 all on lowish averages  any 2 of those 3 would fit!

Im pretty certain Nicol will be at Eastbourne personally. Kemp could be a bargain for someone but has found things heavy going this year and once again Newman frustrates and looks like a rider on a bargain average but ends up in on a similar number, he is a rider who has really stagnated over recent years even with some respectable home performances for the Eagles.

Would love Broc nicol but we have no chance unless Sheffield go up a league as rumoured . Even then every team in the league will be after him on that average. Kemp Jury is out he has gone backwards this season for a reason unknown to me. He has dropped almost 3.00 points of his NL average this season and currently unsure if his any value. Again Kyle is on a decent average now a whole point less than we signed him on but i think he is Eastbourne bound as he has been popular down there.

No way will points limit be 38 as it has been a disaster. This league will revert back to 42.5 or 40 points at the minimum.

I think 40 to start with and up to 42 mid season

I'm also convinced Nichol won't go to a weekend track like Eastbourne as they (Team Hagon) will want to get him on to Continent (Poland or invitational meetings) most weekends, that's way Becker has gone and seems to have worked well. 

Masons will know Hagons pretty well so no harm in making a bid.

No: Thomsen showed plenty of potential in his last two matches: 10 against Scunthorpe, including winning Heat 1. Agertoft has shown that he can win Heat 2; if he spends the winter learning to gate, he will be worth a punt. Both are Brummies assets.

Dont give up on Kemp he would of learned an awful lot this season watch him on you tube in the under 21 final at Belle Vue he was really in the mix.He has had a tough time and Sheffield in the top 5 come to soon for him  but next year he can improve also it just's shows you how the NL has got stronger.

Kemp is a talent ,still very young.Bickley hasn’t progressed as much as he would have either but needs more time IMO

Would love to see Danny Ayres at Brum.....I know he gets on well with the owners.

I think Tom Bacon will be back ?

Arnio definitely finished the season with a lot of credit, so I'd take him back too.

As for team building? I suggest signing a No.1 first and then build a team around him....which is totally the opposite to what we did last year ( but there was legitimate reasons for that...)

Ellis/Morris/Shanes/Bacon/Ayres/Arnio/Thomsen :t:

I'd love Garrity back but I expect other clubs to be chasing him?

Garrity like Barker is running out of options with his mentality.

I totally see/understand your point.....but Garrity light up Perry Barr every time he took to the track!

He just needs man managing.....Peter Adams style!

He could make the National team if he wanted it?!

He reminds me a bit like David Norris (ex Eastbourne)

Controversy follows Mr.Barker where ever he goes but do you believe absolutely everything you read on Facebook?

Whilst I personally wouldn't lend him a second hand elastic band I also believe key board trolls do love to add fuel to a fire. 

If he is as guilty as they make out I'm sure the Police would have been involved and then we all would have read about it.

Barker is a talent on a bike. 

He may be a bit of a rogue off it.
